Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, comprising 16% of all female cancers. The World Health Organization reports that, more than 500,000 women lost their lives in 2004 to breast cancer. Although breast cancer is thought to be a disease of the developed world, nearly 70% of all breast cancer deaths occur in developing countries. How to raise awareness among developing countries has become a global concern.
