By Hilde Cuevas Breast cancer is the most common cancer form in North American women and is the leading cause of cancer death in women between 35 and 55. Although there is no way to prevent breast cancer, mortality rates have decreased thanks to early detection and effective treatments.
Early detection is achieved by breast self-exams, clinical exams, and mammograms.
Because of their studies, the community will have access to new cancer treatments. Candidates for the current study must be women 35 years or older, postmenopausal, and have a high risk of developing breast cancer. This is a great opportunity to join the fight against cancer and contribute to medical knowledge which in turn will decrease breast cancer occurrence in future generations.
