INTRODUCTION
Worldwide, breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death. As we all
know, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. Breast cancer is a
malignant cell growth in the breast. Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the
most common type of cancer in women in the United States, accounting for one of every
three cancer diagnoses.
An estimated 211,240 new invasive cases of breast cancer were expected to occur among
women in the United States during 2005. About 1,690 new male cases of breast cancer
were expected in 2005. The incidence of breast cancer rises after age 40. The highest
incidence occurs in women over age 50.
In addition to invasive breast cancer, 58,590 new cases of breast cancer are expected to
occur among women during 2005. Of these, approximately 88% will be classified as
ductile carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The detection of DCIS cases is a direct result of the
increased use of mammography screening. This screening method is also responsible for
detection of invasive cancers, at a less advanced stage than might have occurred
otherwise.

For the information, breast cancer common in United States, Canada and the European
countries as it is in the United Kingdom. But in Far East, particularly Japan and also other
Latin American countries are rare detected. The causes of breast cancer stills remain a
