Breast cancer now kills more than 11,000 women a year which amounts to an average of 32 women a day.

“With advances in science there are high chances of curing the disease with minimum invasion through early detection”. But no matter how proactive some men and women are, breast cancer will still strike in more than 300,000 new patients each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
