It's a big deal for women with breast cancer. The potential is that their cancer never comes back and spreads. It definitely has the potential to make a big impact.

Being able to better understand this issue - prostate cancer detection and severity - has the potential to save thousands of men a year from surgery they don't need.

But now we have firm data showing we should use (it) in most women with advanced ovarian cancer who have had successful surgery to remove the bulk of their tumor.

This may tip the scales for some of those women. We could have significantly fewer cases of breast cancer in this country.

Deaths from cervical cancer could drop even lower if more women routinely had a Pap test. Because cervical cancer produces no symptoms in the early stage, regular screening is extremely important.

Women with breast cancer almost universally die from it within 10 years if they don't get treated, ... It's quite different with prostate cancer. Many, if not most, men will live over 10 years with prostate cancer.
