gold seams was called "peter"

Quick Facts
• In 2015, an estimated 9,800
Ontarians will be diagnosed
with breast cancer and an esti-
mated 1,900 will die of the dis-
ease. By 2030 the number of
diagnoses is estimated to
increase to 12,730 cases - a 30
per cent increase.
• Today, breast cancer is the
most common cancer and the
second leading cause of cancer
death among Canadian
women.
• Today, 88 per cent of Canadi-
ans diagnosed with breast can-
cer will survive.
• In the last 20 years, the Society
invested close to $100 million in
breast cancer research, leading
to earlier detection and better
therapies, which in part led to a
44 per cent drop in the breast
cancer death rate since the
1980s.
• More than 26,000 lives were
saved since the mid-1980s in
Canada, thanks in part to the
society's efforts to increase
screening rates and our invest-
ment in research.
