Cancer is the second leading killer of American women. Only heart disease represents a greater threat to women's health in our country.

 

Fortunately, our knowledge about cancer keeps increasing. Research scientists are learning more about what causes cancer and are finding new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat this disease. Great progress has been made against many types of cancer, resulting in better treatments, a lower risk of dying from this disease, and improved quality of life for cancer patients.
