Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States, excluding skin cancers, and remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women after lung cancer. In 2025, an estimated 316,950 women are expected to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Despite significant advances in early detection and treatment, breast cancer is projected to cause approximately 42,170 deaths among women and 510 deaths among men in the United States during 2025.

About 66% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at the localized stage (before the cancer has spread outside the breast). In localized breast cancer treatments tend to work best.

Most mouth ulcers are harmless (often called canker sores or aphthous ulcers) and usually heal on their own within 7–14 days, but a sore that doesn’t heal could be a sign of an underlying condition that needs medical attention.
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women in the United States and is a major public health pro...
