Steps to reduce the odds of developing breast cancer
When it comes to breast-cancer prevention, most women are probably aware of the need for self-examinations and mammograms, as well as awareness of a family history for breast cancer.But other factors that can help women avoid breast cancer may not be as well known, or at least not as often discussed.With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this might be the right time to discuss them."Although breast cancer is, rightfully, a significant concern, every woman should keep in mind that there are things in her control that can help reduce her odds of developing it," says Dr. Pawan Grover (www.inovospine.net), who has treated cancer patients and has served as a medical correspondent for CNN and other news organizations.

Racial disparities receding for women with breast cancer
(CNN) Racial disparities between black and white breast cancer patients are receding, according to a report released Thursday.Younger women of both races benefit equally from timely treatment, but differences in death rates still exist for black and white women over age 50, a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates.Led by Dr. Lisa Richardson, director of the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, the CDC researchers examined rates of breast cancer occurrence in women between 1999 and 2013 and rates of breast cancer deaths between 2000 and 2014, using data from the United States Cancer Statistics report.Approximately 221,000 breast cancers were diagnosed in women of any race each year during the period from 2009 through 2013.
