Breast Cancer Awareness & Fundraising Event
On Behalf Of Destiny Island We Would Like To Thank You For Your Interest And Combined Support In The Search For The Cure Of Breast Cancer And Spreading Its Awareness.
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. It is considered a heterogeneous disease, meaning that it is a different disease in different women, a different disease in different age groups and has different cell populations within the tumor itself. Generally, breast cancer is a much more aggressive disease in younger women.
Women in the United States get breast cancer more than any other type of cancer except for skin cancer. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women.
This year it is estimated that nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. Breast cancer is not exclusively a disease of women, however. Approximately 1,700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year. The evaluation of men with breast masses is similar to that in women, including mammography.
Many of us have members of our family, close loved ones and maybe even ourselves that have been diagnoses with Breast Cancer and fight the odds daily so that we may live life to its fullest every moment of every day.
Help Destiny Island Spread The word and support the research for the cure. Join us as we spread the word and raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
