Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. About 1 in 8 (12%) women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimates 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the United States in 2014. About 62,570 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is noninvasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer). About 40,000 women will die from breast cancer.
