Breast Cancer:

Breast cancer is cancer arising in breast tissue. Cancer is simply a group of abnormal cells that have abnormal growth patterns.

• Although breast cancer is primarily a disease of women, about 1% of breast cancers occur in men.
  

• Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and is the second leading cause of death by cancer in women, following only lung cancer.
  

• In 2005, the American Cancer Society estimated that 212,930 new cases of breast cancer would be diagnosed in the United States.
  

• The incidence of breast cancer has been gradually increasing, averaging a 0.5% increase per year from 1987-2001. Death rates, on the other hand, have been gradually declining.

Alopecia and other Hair Loss:

An inappropriate inflammatory reaction is behind Alopecia Areata. A person's own immune system attacks the roots of hair follicles. Symptoms include patchy shedding of hair, which sometimes develops quite suddenly. About 70% of patients recover their hair within two years, whether or not they receive treatment.
