| Abstract | A fter more than 20 years of increased incidences of breast cancer, the year 2000 heralded a welcome statistic: The number of breast cancer cases had begun to decline. The biggest factor in the incidence of breast cancer is thought to be a decline in the use of hormonal therapy after menopause (Chlebowski et al., 2003). The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that in the year 2015, approximately 241,840 new cases of breast cancer will have been diagnosed in women, with 40,290 deaths occurring from the disease. The trend toward a decreased number of cases is good news. Women following the ACS guidelines for early detection of the disease previously received mammograms starting at age 40 and clinical breast exams (CBEs) during provider visits. |
