Abstract

From 2003-2011, breast cancer in the United States did not significantly decrease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. During 2007, new cancer cases were found using more accurate methods and new technology. Breast cancer begins in the breast tissue, which is made up of glands for milk, called lobules. The types of breast cancer can vary from benign, situ, and invasive. Benign results are little to no worry; whereas, situ can usually be cured. When breast cancer is invasive that means it is severe. One goal of my research paper is to categorize cancer to understand the prognosis and what treatment options are available. Another goal is to show the distribution of breast cancer across races.
