Is Smokin suggesting that there is some specific time when women should be made aware of the risk of breast cancer?  20? 30? 40?  Maybe if the subject were more open and discussed using real factual risks, fewer women would die.  When the facts around prostate cancer in men became more open and discussed, higher percentages of men got exams resulting in earlier detection and treatment.  The real question is: given all the money and time we've spent why are the various forms of cancer still killing so many people?  Lung cancer is rising in women who don't smoke at an alarming rate.  What is happening and why don't we know it?
