According to the most recent numbers available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2012, 224,147 women
and 2,125 men in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 41,150 women and 405 men in the United States died from
breast cancer. It is the most common cancer in women, no matter the race and ethnicity. It is the most common cause of death from
cancer among Hispanics, and the second most common cause among White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American
Indian/Alaska Native women.
Considering the current breast cancer incidence, death, recurrence, metastatic disease, risk factors, and treatment options, the Avon
Breast Cancer Crusade continues to search for new preventive strategies to address the growing number of cases around the globe.
The aim of this program is to support innovative, high impact research focused on ending breast cancer. This year, the Avon
Breast Cancer Crusade Research Program seeks proposals to advance understanding of prevention of breast cancer.
You are required by your employee – Streetsboro Department of Health – to prepare a quad chart of the synopsis of the
proposed research for this grant proposal.
