Welcome to Deep Weavers - Notable breast cancer patients
Welcome to Deep Weavers - Notable breast cancer patients, a free cancer resource guide. We offer free cancer information in the form of cancer news, cancer blog discussion and links to editor reviewed cancer web sites. Breast cancer is cancer of breast tissue. Worldwide, it is the most common form of cancer in females, affecting approximately one out of twelve to thirteen women who reach age ninety at some stage of their life in the Western world. It is (after lung cancer) the second most fatal cancer in women. Because the breast is composed of identical tissues in males and females, breast cancer can also occur in males, but here the incidence is very low, less than 1 percent. The Cancer Word of the Day is RuthAnn Lobo, be sure to check back tommorow for a new cancer word of the day. Please make a cancer selection from the navigation.
