Progress against cancer
(NAPSA)-By learning more
about the possible causes of cancer
and getting early diagnosis and
screening, women may lower their
risks for certain cancers.
One in three American women
will develop cancer during her life
time; the statistics are often higher
for African-American women.
What many women don’t know
is that lung cancer is now the num
ber one cancer killer of women,
followed by breast and colorectal
cancer.
Breast cancer is still a leading
cause of death-approximately
44,000 women died of breast can
cer in 1998. Unfortunately, many
women are still not getting
screened. In 1998, some 33 per
cent of women, age 50-64 and 45
percent of women age 65 and older
report not having a mammogram
over the past two years.
It is estimated that approxi
mately one in 150 women ages'40
to 59 will develop colorectal can
cer, yet screening for this cancer
still lags far behind screening for
other cancers. In 1992, approxi
mately 50 percent of American
adults had never been screened for
colon cancer. Research suggests
that the lack of appropriate screen-

ing, which reduces the rate of early
detection, contributes to colorectal
cancer deaths.
At a recent conference spon
sored by medical research and
policy experts talked about how to
improve women’s odds of reduc
ing risks or surviving cancer as
part of the “next wave” of women ’ s
health.
According to the conference
panehsts, knowing the risk factors
for cancer may enable women to
reduce their risks for certain types
of cancer. Some of the general risk
factors include:
• Tobacco (it has been estimated
that smoking accounts for as much
as 90 percent of cancer cases)
• Diet (high meat and animal fat
intake may be linked to increased
rates of certain cancers)
• Alcohol consumption (it is esti
mated that two drinks per day may
increase risk by 25 percent)
Finally, early diagnosis of cer
tain cancers may lead to more suc
cessful treatment, according to the
conferencepanelists.Forexample,
if Americans were to participate in
regular screening, the relative sur
vival rate of people diagnosed with
certain cancers could be as high as
95 percent.
