- Lung CancerBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Though diagnosis and treatment have greatly improved survival and quality of life for women with breast cancer, it is still the second leading cause of cancer death for women, after lung cancer. More than a quarter million new cases of invasive breast cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States. Breast cancer is very rare in men (less than 1 percent of cases), but still affects thousands of men each year.

Miami Cancer Institute has been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.* *

- MammographyThe survival rate for people with breast cancer is around 90 percent, and may be as high as 99 percent when the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. Increased use and improvements in mammography have led to more cancers getting diagnosed in early stages, while they are easier to treat. Also, modern surgical techniques are less invasive than in years past, and chemotherapy and other forms of treatment are more effective. Most side effects can be treated or managed.
- Chemotherapy
