Roswell Park’s Breast Center located at Elm and Carlton St. in Buffalo, N.Y. isdedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and care of breast cancer patients. The centerprovides patients with resources, research information, and treatment options related tobreast cancer. In 2003, the program expanded its efforts to St. Mary’s Hospital inLewiston. Statistics now indicate that 1 in 8 women will be effected by breast cancer atone point in their lives. A smaller number of men are at risk as well. It is also the secondleading cause of death in US women. Many strides and advances have been made in boththe early detection and subsequent treatment for breast cancer patients. Continued studiesand Research, just within the last 10-12 years, have greatly reduced the risk of recurrenceand have given thousands of women and men diagnosed with breast cancer new hope fora bright future.With greater concentration on pinpointing its cause and developing a cure, perhaps thenext generation will no longer needlessly have to be concerned about the risk of breastcancer. The entire community is invited to support this worthy cause. For furtherinformation contact the F.M.F.B.C. benefit coordinator, Ms. Goeckel [email protected]
