The statistics are alarming: There are 182,490 new cases of breast cancer in women so far this year; that’s more than lung, colon, and oral cancer cases combined, according to the American Cancer Society.
However, there is hope for women out there when it comes to early detection. CBS News reports that U.S. scientists are experimenting with new ways to view breast X-rays in 3-D, so that today’s mammograms can provide a clearer picture of any existing tumors. Some of those methods include wearing special 3-D glasses as well as using a new camera.  Content suppressed by ://URLFAN, for full article visit source

Ovarian cancer is fourth among the leading causes of death due to cancer for American women, affecting 1 out of every 57 women.
