Breast cancer is one of the chief killers to the woman's life. Health people 2020 set goal to decrease the number of new cancer events and the illness, disability, and death (What Are Its Goals? - Healthy People 2020. n.d.).…
Research Questions According to statistics, early detection of the disease through self-examination and screening greatly improves mortality rate, nevertheless, a segment of the populace continues to suffer higher death rates. This has been found to be largely due to discovery of the disease at an advanced stage caused by a variety of reasons such as low income, lack of access to care, lack of a usual health care provider, lack of recommendation from a provider to get mammography screening, and lack of awareness of breast cancer risks and screening methods (rephrase). In response to these barriers, Breast and Cervical Early detection programs have been instituted to provide early detection testing to low-income, underserved, under-insured and uninsured women in the US (reference).…
Digital is a very accurate method because it allows for doctors to take a closer look at the cancerous cells. A 3D mammography represents the most recent mammogram technology, allowing x-ray images of “slices” of the breast to be navigated and analyzed from different perspectives (“Types of Mammograms and How They Differ”). Over time, mammogram technology has shown significant improvement, becoming more reliable and accurate. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women.…
Breast Cancer: Men vs. Women Breast cancer in one of the leading causes of death in women. This is pretty apparent when considering how many organizations have been created for this reason. The whole month of October is even set aside as “breast cancer awareness month.”…

Some people diagnosed with this type of cancer could have the opportunity to detect it early on due to screenings or self-evaluations. However despite early detection, it does not guarantee that the cancer can be treated in its entirety.…
BREAST CANCER DETECTION BY T-SHAPED SLOTTED RECTANGULAR MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA Abstract This Paper shows the great achievement in the breast cancer detection by microwave imaging ,in this paper firstly the T-Shaped Slotted RMPA is designed for ISM band Application at 2.45 GHz and resonated at particular frequency by iterations on the simulation software and very low losses is shown on particular exact frequency is 32.2dB ,after that The Breast Phantom model with cancer tissues and RMPA with its center is designed and simulated Current density and SAR of the model is calculated which is 1288A/m2 and 3.10*105 respectively and after that Breast Phantom model is designed 50mm away from the RMPA and results shows that current density is reduced about 11times its value is 107.4A/m2…
