WHEREAS, According to the American Cancer Society, with the exception of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women; and

WHEREAS, Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women; and

WHEREAS, Approximately 24,985 women and 200 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in California each year, and approximately 4,280 women and 35 men die of the disease; and

WHEREAS, The number of women who die of breast cancer each year in California constitutes one-tenth of the number of women who die of breast cancer in the United States; and

WHEREAS, With early detection and proper treatment, the five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer has increased from 72 percent in the 1940s to 89.2 percent today. However, once the cancer spreads beyond the breast, the survival rate drops to a mere 25 percent even with modern treatments and technologies; and

WHEREAS, The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women between 50 and 74 years of age should have a breast examination by a health expert every two years; and
