Medical News Today : declared in More women opting to remove a healthy breast after cancer diagnosis

Although breast cancer is the second leading cancer-related cause of death among women, the rates of breast cancer mortality have been declining over the years. With the exception of skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in the United States, making up almost a third (or 29 percent) of all new cancer diagnoses. These patients received a diagnosis of early-stage invasive unilateral breast cancer, and underwent surgery between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2012. A new study finds that the number of women diagnosed with invasive early-stage cancer in one breast who choose to surgically remove their other breast has increased in recent years.

What you need to know about new breast cancer screening technologies

Greg Doyle, chair of the Canadian Breast Cancer Screening Network, said that while ultrasounds have a place in breast screening, they shouldn't be portrayed as an effective screening tool on their own. "Less would be more and more would be less," Dr. Baines said in reference to the optimal frequency of breast screening. It seems like it's never been easier to detect breast cancer. Toronto's VIP Breast Imaging is promoting its ultrasound screening technology in hopes of making more women aware of the option. Currently, only those who are seen as having a high risk, such as those with a strong family history of breast cancer, are eligible for publicly funded BRCA screening.
