Facts about Breast Cancer in the USA Editor's Note: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As a public service, we publish this list of facts about Breast Cancer compiled by the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organization (NABCO). Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in the United -- States. Both its cause and the means for its cure remain undiscovered. About breast cancer survivors are alive in America today. Ini 997, 80,200 new cases of female breast cancer will be diagnosed, and two-milli- -- 43,900 women will die from the disease. About 30.000 cases of female in situ (prein vasive) breast cancer will be diagnosed in 1997. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for all women, and the leading cause of cancer death in all women between the ages of 40 and 55. Men develop breast cancer, too, although its incidence is low. In 1997, ,400 male cases are projected to be diagnosed, and 290 men will die from the disease. -- 1 One out of nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer in lifetime--- a risk that was one of 4 in 960. This year, a breast cancer will be newly diagnosed every three minutes, and a woman will die from breast -- her cancer every 12 minutes. Every woman is at risk for breast cancer. The risk of developing breast cancer increases as a woman ages, if she has a family history of breast cancer, has never had children or had her first child after the age of 30, and if she has -- had prior radiation therapy for Hodgkins disease. However, over 70 percent of cases occur in women who have no identifiable risk factors. Breast cancer cannot be prevented, but it can be detected at an early, treatable stage. Fewer than half of women age 40 and older in the Un ited States -- have regular screening mammograms, a simple procedure that can reveal breast cancer at its earliest stage, up to two years before it can be felt. In NABCOs view, regular screening mammography should begin at age 40. Regular breast examinations by a medical professional are a required complement to screen ing mammography. Many breast irregu larit ies are found -- by women themselves, yet women often do not know how to perform breast (BSE), and few do so regularly. Although BSE has never been proven to affect survival, becoming familiar with your breasts and what feels normal for you is a recommended component of any woman's breast health program. Over 80 percent of biopsed breast abnormal ities are proven ben ign, but any breast lump must be evaluated by a physician, With new, less invasive biopsy procedures, this examination can sometimes take place in the physicians office. If detected early, breast cancer can often be treated effectively with surgery -- -- that preserves the breast, followed by radiation therapy. This local therapy is sometimes accompanied by systemic chemotherapy andor hormonal therapy. breast cancer is over 97 Five-yesurvival after treatment for early-stag- e ar percent. Breast cancer incidence increases with age, rising sharply after age 40. Nearly eighty percent of all breast cancers occur in women over 50 years of -- age.

The envelope had been coded wrong and went to another state before finding its way back to Utah. Hey. we are only two hours and 5 minutes from this relative's house. You would think mail would take a couple or three days at the most! When we need to get something important to a printer in Salt Lake, we send it UPS and it usually arrives in Salt Lake the next day.

Our economy is the envy of the world, and as technology and trade bring people closer together, we are shaping a more peaceful and prosperous community of nations.

Thats part of the reason why U.S. agricultural exports shot up 50 in the past five years, reaching nearly $60 billion in 1996, and helping America reclaim the title of the worlds largest two-wa- exporter. Without question, we are ahead in the global economy. But we cannot afford to sit on our lead. Agriculture's future depends on ex- panded trade. Booming markets in the Texas, all hat and no cattle'.
