\u00a0Up to 75 percent of the funds stay in an eight-county area of Illinois and Iowa to provide mammograms and other breast health services for under served and under insured women, with the rest going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for breast cancer research, according to their press release.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S. It is the most common cancer found among every racial and ethnic group.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Race is not a risk factor for breast cancer. But, the rates of getting and dying from breast cancer differ among ethnic groups.<\/p>\n

The lifetime probability of dying from cancer is 1 in 6 for Hispanic women. Cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanics.<\/p>

Screening and good treatment for breast cancer can lower your risk of dying.<\/p>\n

Mammograms can find breast cancer early, when survival is highest. Talk with your doctor about which screening tests are right for you.<\/p>
