Breast Cancer Today — In America
Breast cancer today is not what it was 20 years ago. Survival rates are climbing, thanks to greater awareness, more early detection, and advances in treatment. (归功于更多的关注,更早的监测和更先进的 治疗技术) For roughly 200,000 Americans who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year(每年约有二十万美国人被诊断为乳腺癌), there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful.
In America, About 1 out of 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.(在美国,一年统计数据表明,大约每八个女性中有 一个会罹患乳腺癌)
