Abstract:
In Japan, the incidence rate of breast cancer is increasing every year so as to become the most common cancer among Japanese women. One of every 16 women is anticipated to eventually suffer from breast cancer. However, unlike the incidence rate, the mortality rate of breast cancer is low, and the 5-year survival rate is about 80%. Mammography screening has been shown to be effective, but the screening rate is still low(20-30%), compared to screening rates for other organs. To increase the screening rate, the Japanese government has introduced free breast cancer screening. To make the system for breast cancer screening more efficient, we should determine the risk factors for Japanese women, and conduct such screening at public expense.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
