9
Whereas, breast cancer is most common among middle-aged and older women,

12
Whereas, the American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 2,800

Whereas, the National Cancer Institute reported that the age-adjusted
2

3

4

AJR96,2,7
5
Whereas, the American Cancer Society recommends that all women between

7
over the age of 55 be screened at least every other year; and
AJR96,2,9
8
Whereas, the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer can significantly
9
improve the odds that a person will survive breast cancer; and
AJR96,2,12
10
Whereas, a study from the Radiological Society of North America attributed
11
the 40 percent decline in the national female breast cancer mortality rate in recent

Whereas, the Wisconsin Legislature has the opportunity to bring awareness
