It is a fact that in Asia the statistics for women and breast cancer is quite low compared to America. In America 1 out of 8 women will develop breast cancer in her life time. That is 5 times higher than the women in Japan according to
Doctor Murray. Nonetheless, that number is on the rise for asian women. The
social stigma behind breast cancer in Japan, S. Korea and China is almost unbearable for many women, many would rather go untreated. Still today there are some that believe that Asian women don't get breast cancer. Today, S. Korea, Japan and China are trying to educate and erase the social stigmatism about Breast Cancer. See how these countries are raising awareness on Breast Cancer.
