If you're doing an article, the first thing you want to do is teach young ladies how to do self breast checks. Tell the ways breast cancer can be prevented by not smoking, drinking etc. Give some statistics if you can. You can give some demographics like While Caucasians have the highest incidence of breast cancer, the mortality is lower African Americans have one of the most lowest incidence rates, but the highest mortality rate among women with breast cancer. African-American have a clinical feature of one of the most aggressive invasive disease. One thing that you want everyone to know that early detection is the key to survival no matter what ethnic group you belong to. Oh, that study, you many want to back that up, It was a single hospital study published in the journal "Cancer" Warn people also the importance of having regular mammogram when they reach 40 and possible earlier if they have a family history. Warn them about not letting any Dr to tell you to wait if they find a lump. No one should be told to wait 6 months or so for a biopsy. They tried that with me and I said flat out, I will not wait. Anyway. Hope you have some information you were looking for. Hope this helps a little.l Good luck

I bet you will find this interesting: http://blogs.findanyfloor.com/corporate/Corporate/PinkistheNewGreen.xhtml This blog shows you how products like Swiffer etc. are branding Pink Ribbons on their products.... Take a guess at how much ACTUALLY goes to breat cancer research... this is horrible! I can't even believe it. Finding good stats is always a valid point. This article I attached may infuriate you and it can cause you to lose track of your purpose! But I thought you would like to know whats happening!

First of all, there is now an 86% cure rate & same day diagnosis at The Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Canada. 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer...but as of very lately there has been great news in the discovery of a certain gene. Women must get into the regular routine of checking their breasts; not just for lumps., but to take a look at their breasts, does one seem to have changed shape?..Is any sort of abnormal leakage coming from the nipple, is there a lump that has changed size?..etc..all these things. Any suspicious lump or change should be reported to a physician immediately. It has also been discovered that there is a direct link between breast cancer & ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer can be difficult to detect until it's well advanced. The Pap smear doesn't detect ovarian cancer..but detects cancerous situations in the vagina & surrounding areas of the uterus (the cervix). The earlier the detection, the better the chances of the cure
