The decrease in breast-cancer incidence in 2003 in the United States

Article Abstract:

The information from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries on analysis reveals a fall in the age-adjusted incidence rate of breast cancer in women in the U.S. in 2003 by almost 6.7%. It is believed that the fall in the breast cancer events is sequentially associated to the Women's Health Initiative's first report and the resultant decrease in the hormone-replacement therapy among postmenopausal women in the United States.

Adjuvant docetaxel for node-positive breast cancer

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted in which comparison of docetaxel plus doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (TAC) with fluorouracil plus doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (FAC) is made as adjuvant chemotherapy for operable node-positive breast cancer. The result showed that adjuvant chemotherapy with TAC, as compared with FAC, significantly improves rates of disease-free and overall survival among women with operable node-positive breast cancer.

Effect of screening and adjuvant therapy on mortality from breast cancer

Article Abstract:

The relative and absolute contributions of screening mammography and adjuvant treatment to the reduction in breast-cancer mortality in the US from 1975 to 2000 is assessed using modeling techniques. The statistical models reveal that both screening mammography and treatment have helped reduce the rate of death from breast cancer in the US.
