HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (WordNews.org) March 4, 2013 – A recent report in the America Medical Association says incidents of advanced breast cancer rose by nearly 90 percent during a 33-year-period.
The report, led by Dr. Rebecca Johnson, said the more aggressive breast cancers and low survival rates among women, jumped from 1.53 percent in 1976 to 2.9 percent in 2009, an increase of 2.07 percent a year, compounded.
Yet Johnson’s team referred to the increase as “small.”
“It’s utterly stunning that Johnson’s team called the increased incidence in advanced cancers among young women ‘small,'”said Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer. “That’s a nearly doubled increase in the incidence of a disease with a mean five year fatality rate of 69 percent. By contrast, the mean five-year fatality rate among women with breast cancers that have not spread to distant sites is 13.2%.”
Malec said it was also peculiar, but not surprising, that the authors offered no hypotheses to explain why the numbers are on the rise.
“Abortion and use of hormonal contraceptive steroids among teenagers are the elephants in the living room that the medical establishment ignores,” Malec said.
The rate of advanced breast cancer doubled for African Americans, ages 25-39, climbing from 3.14 in 1976 to 6.25 per 100,000 in 2009, with a statistically significant annual percent change of 3.50.
“Is this any wonder when the abortion rate for African American women is more than double that of white women?” asked Malec.
