The majority of women with breast cancer have no known significant family history or other known risk factors. • African Americans have the highest death rate from breast cancer of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. • Without a cure, 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer — a devastating disease with physical, emotional, psychological and financial pain that can last a lifetime. • Without a cure, an estimated 5 million Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer — and more than 1 million could die — over the next 25 years.
