  6. I think this type of cancer is frequently discussed in news and popular media, because it is the most common type of cancer in women all over the world, and it can be diagnosed in a early stage. This type of cancer is one of the most common in women, and this is really problematic. Women can evite metastasis or cancer second or third stage by touching their breast, and try to find something that shouldn't be there. Then women can diagnose themselves if they noticed something strange in their breasts. So they could go to the doctor and evite that the cancer moves on. Also if they go to the doctor every year, and take a breast exam, they can know if they have breast cancer cells or the disease as well. News and popular media discuss a lot about this because they want to inform women about this disease and how they can prevent it of many ways.

  8. Breast cancer is frequently discussed in news and popular media, and I think because breast cancer is a main cancer for women. Also, I think that media want everyone to look this seriously. I think this is a news wealthy because it remind women should be careful with breast cancer. If you can find the tumor cells early, you might have higher chance to recover. Randy Lin

  11. This article said about simple blood test can find out early breast cancer. This test can find tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood. The results of the study indicates that the risk of recurrence and death is much higher in patients with high levels of CTCs. However, the CTC blood test isn't used yet.
