Approximately 370,000 of the 1.15 million new breast cancer patients discovered worldwide every year die of the disease, as opposed to 700,000 of the 1.3 million new lung cancer patients. The chance of survival is clearly much higher for breast cancer patients.
拿乳癌和肺癌相較，全球每年新增 115 萬名乳癌患者，死亡人數約 37 萬人；換為肺癌，則是新增 130 萬人、死亡 70 多萬人，相形之下，顯然乳癌患者的生機大得多。
