Laptop Battery The search for environmental causes for a supposed breast cancer epidemic on Long Island is beginning to look like a wild goose chase. The cornerstone study in a $30 million federal effort to unravel the contentious issue reported this month that it could find no link between breast cancer and the prime environmental suspects, such as DDT and PCB's.
Thinkpad It identified only a modest link, possibly due to chance, to pollutants in car exhaust and cigarette smoke. More results are still to be published, and breast cancer activists are calling for yet more investigations into a wider array of chemicals. But the negative findings suggest it is time to rein in this fruitless quest. There may simply be no significant environmental cause of breast cancer on Long Island, or if there is, it may be undetectable.
Breast cancer cases in women are estimated to total more than 178, 480 and result in more than 40, 460 deaths according to the American Cancer Society. Though new methods for breast cancer detection are being developed and breast cancer survival rates are increasing, there is still a need to spread awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research. Right now there is no way to prevent breast cancer, but early detection gives breast cancer patients the best chance for survival. exams and yearly mammograms are two of the best methods for early breast cancer detection.
Microsoft The large-scale study was pushed by advocates for breast cancer research and was mandated in 1993 by politicians eager to be responsive. Both groups dismissed as superficial an analysis by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that attributed breast cancer rates on Long Island to heredity and other known risk factors. Now the study the activists demanded is coming up blank on environmental causes and is simply reaffirming many of the established risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, having a first child at a late age, never giving birth or doing little or no breast-feeding.

Laptop Computers Meanwhile the presumed breast cancer epidemic on Long Island, with incidence rates supposedly 30 percent above the national average, has faded into the realm of myth. As Gina Kolata pointed out in The Times on Thursday, the rates on Long Island are only slightly higher than the national average and are typical for the Northeast.
Breast cancer rates may be higher in industrial areas. Postmenopausal women in Nassau County, New York, who live within a mile of a chemical, petroleum, rubber, or plastics facility are 60 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than postmenopausal women who lived in other parts of Long Island, according to a study by New York State Department of Health researchers.

By giving breast cancer to an otherwise healthy, athletic character like Dana, the show makes the point that the disease can strike anyone. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the U.S., accounting for 1 of every 3 cancer diagnoses in women. 1 in 9 women in their lifetime get breast cancer. About 211, 000 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this year and over 40, 000 women will die from it.
