Breast
Breast contains 15-20 lobes
Made up of milk-producing glands
Fat covers the lobes and shapes the
breast
Supported and attached to the
chest wall by ligaments
Rests on pectoralis major muscle
Three major hormones affect the
breast
Estrogen, progesterone, and
prolactin
Lobules fill each lobe
Sacs at the end of lobules produce
milk
Ducts deliver milk to the nipple
BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast. Cancer starts
when cells begin to grow out of control.
Breast cancer cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray
or felt as a lump. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men
can get breast cancer, too.
Non-cancerous breast tumors are abnormal growths, but they do not spread
outside of the breast. They are not life threatening, but some types of benign
breast lumps can increase a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer. Any
breast lump or change needs to be checked by a health care professional
to determine if it is benign or malignant (cancer) and if it might affect your
future cancer risk.
WHEN IS MAMMOGRAPHY
RECOMMENDED?
Screening mammography is recommended for women age 40 and older
every one to two years and younger than 40 years of age when the patient
has increased risk factors for breast cancer.
In general, screening mammograms are not recommended for women
under 40 years of age, in part because breast tissue tends to be more dense
in younger women, making mammograms as a screening tool less effective.
As there is such a low risk of developing breast cancer in younger women,
experts do not believe that it is justifiable to expose them to low levels of
radiation or the cost of mammograms unless they do have *high risk factors.

BREAST CANCER STATISTICS
About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop
invasive breast cancer over the course of her
lifetime.
In 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive
breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in
women in the U.S., along with 48,530 new cases of
non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
About 2,620 new cases of invasive breast cancer are
expected to be diagnosed in men in 2020. A mans
lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 883.
About 42,170 women in the U.S. are expected to die
in 2020 from breast cancer. Death rates have been
steady in women under 50 since 2007, but have
continued to drop in women over 50. The overall
death rate from breast cancer decreased by 1.3%
per year from 2013 to 2017. These decreases are
thought to be the result of treatment advances and
earlier detection through screening.
I chose Breast Cancer for my project because I lost a family member
for this disease.
Awareness surrounding breast cancer is incredibly important as early
detection, often through screening, can catch the disease when it is
most treatable. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS),
breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women,
except for skin cancers.
I participate every year at Leon Medical Center breast cancer fight
walk.
