I found pink gloves that support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
I LOVE them!
Reflecting once again, that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
What are the estimated numbers of new breast cancer cases and deaths for the year 2006?
An estimated 212,920 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the United States during 2006.
An estimated 40,970 women will die from breast cancer.
It is estimated that 1,720 men will be diagnosed and 460 men will die of breast cancer during 2006.
In addition to invasive breast cancer, 61,980 new cases of in situ breast cancer are expected to occur among women in 2006.
Of these, approximately 85 percent will be ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
