About 192,370 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2009 and, while more rare, about 1,910 men will be diagnosed. Among women, breast cancer is the most common cancer. Most women are diagnosed at earlier stages of breast cancer due to the use of mammography screening and regular examinations.The best time to start checking for breast cancer is when there are no symptoms—in other words, when you feel fine. When cancer is detected early, there are more treatment options available and you have a greater chance of survival. Mammography screening combined with clinical breast examinations gives you the best chance of finding cancer early and treating it.
