[About Breast Cancer]
Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate among Japanese women. It has been more than a decade since breast cancer was first diagnosed in the United States, where it is estimated that one in eight women will develop the disease within a lifetime. Studies have shown that the incidence of breast cancer among Japanese immigrants in the United States is higher than that of Japanese living in Japan and similar to that of Americans. One way, breast cancer ranks fifth in mortality. In other words, it is a cancer with a high survival rate after cancer notification and one that can be detected early with regular checkups.
