BREAST CANCER
For Victorian women, 3 out of every 10 cancers that occur will be in the breast and this significantly outnumbers the next 3 most common cancers, bowel, lung, and melanoma. Breast cancer is more common in women post menopause. 51% of all cancers occur in women aged 50 to 69 and 27% of women in aged over 70, although it can be seen in younger women.
