•What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast. It can start in one or both breasts.

•How breast cancer starts:

Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get breast cancer, too.

Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control.

It’s important to understand that most breast lumps are benign and not cancer (malignant). Non-cancer breast tumors are abnormal growths, but they do not spread outside of the breast. They are not life threatening, but some types of benign breast lumps can increase a woman's risk of getting breast cancer.

Any breast lump or change needs to be checked by a health care professional to find out if it is benign or malignant (cancer) and if it might affect your future cancer risk.

The American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that women at average risk for breast cancer receive mammograms as follows:

•Ages 40-49: Annually or every other year
•Ages 50-74: Every two years
•Age 75 and older: Continue screening if they are in good health, otherwise unless recommended by your heath care provider

Women at higher risk for breast cancer, such as those with a family history of breast cancer or dense breasts, may need to start mammograms earlier or have them more frequently. It is important to discuss breast cancer screening with a healthcare provider to determine the best recommendations for individual circumstances.

>Leukemia starts in the cells that form blood. Normally, most blood cells develop from cells in the bone marrow called stem cells. In a person with leukemia, the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells (leukemia cells). Unlike normal blood cells, leukemia cells don’t die when they should. They can crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Consequently, it’s hard for normal blood cells to do their work.

>There are several types of leukemia.
The four main types of leukemia are:

•acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which affects myeloid cells and grows quickly;
•chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which affects myeloid cells and grows slowly;
•acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), which affects lymphoid cells and grows quickly; and
•chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which also affects lymphoid cells, but grows slowly.
—CLL is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults.
—ALL is the most common type of leukemia in children.

>Lymphomas begin in cells of the lymph system, which is a part of the immune system. Lymph tissue is found throughout the body. As a result, lymphoma can begin almost anywhere. The disease occurs in two types: Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Cervical cancer estimates for 2025

The American Cancer Society's estimates for cervical cancer in the United States for 2025 are:

About 13,360 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed.
About 4,320 women will die from cervical cancer.

•Incidence rates for cervical cancer

Cervical precancers are diagnosed far more often than invasive cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44, with the average age being 50. It rarely develops in women younger than 20.

Many older women don't realize that they are still at risk of developing cervical cancer as they age. More than 20% of cervical cancers are found in women over 65. However, these cancers rarely occur in women who have been getting regular tests to screen for cervical cancer before they were 65.

Cervical cancer incidence rates decreased by more than half from the mid-1970s to the mid-2000s, largely because of the increased use of screening, but they have stabilized over the past decade. In women ages 30 to 44, however, rates have increased 1.7% each year from 2012 to 2019.

In contrast, rates declined 11% each year for women ages 20 to 24, probably reflecting the first signs of cancer prevention from HPV vaccination.

•Mortality rates for cervical cancer

Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women. The cervical cancer death rate has dropped by more than half since the mid-1970s because of prevention and screening, although rates have stabilized in recent years. The death rates for Black women and Native American women are about 65% higher than for White women.

•How common is prostate cancer?

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for 2025 are:

About 313,780 new cases of prostate cancer
About 35,770 deaths from prostate cancer
The number of prostate cancers diagnosed each year declined sharply from 2007 to 2014, coinciding with fewer men being screened because of changes in screening recommendations. Since 2014, however, the incidence rate has increased by 3% per year.

•Risk of getting prostate cancer

About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. But each man’s risk of prostate cancer can vary, based on his age, race/ethnicity, and other factors.

For example, prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men. About 6 in 10 prostate cancers are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older, and it is rare in men under 40. The average age of men when they are first diagnosed is about 67.

Prostate cancer risk is also higher in African American men and in Caribbean men of African ancestry than in men of other races.

•Deaths from prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer. About 1 in 44 men will die of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 3.5 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.

The prostate cancer death rate declined by about half from 1993 to 2022, most likely due to earlier detection and advances in treatment. In recent years, the decline in the death rate has slowed, likely reflecting the rise in cancers being found at an advanced stage
