A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer
Post-menopausal（绝经后的）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested.The report,which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking.UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.
A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study,,published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.
They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking , swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting,watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at, two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women,47%said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14%lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.
Dr.Alpa Patel,a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atianta Georgia,who led the study,said:"Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking,promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity,just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women." " More strenuous（紧张的） and longer activities lowered the risk even more."
Baroness Delyth Morgan,chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:"This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference."
She added:"We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place.The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer."

All of the following factors relating to cancer risk were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_______.
A:regular walking
B:breathing exercise
C:recreational activity
D:lifestyle choices

Breast Cancer Deaths Record Low

The number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a
year for the first time since records began.
The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11,990 women died in the UK in 2007.
The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1 97 1一 the year records began一after which it rose
steadily year by year until the late 1980s.
Professor Peter Johnson,Cancer Research UK's chief clinician,said,"It's incredibly encouraging to see fewer
women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years,despite breast cancer being diagnosed
more often."
"Research has played a crucial role in this progress,leading to improved treatments and better
management for women with the disease."
"The introduction of the NHS（国民保健制度）breast screening program has also contributed as the
earlier cancer is diagnosed,women are more likely to survive."
Breast cancer is now the nost common cancer in the UK with 45,500 women every year diagnosed with
the disease一a 50% rise in 25 years.
The number of deaths peaked in 1989,when 15,625 women died.It then fell by between 200 and 400
deaths each year until 2004.
There was a slight rise in 2005 and then two years of falls.
Dr. Sarah Cant,policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer,said,"It is great news that fewer women
are dying from breast cancer and highlights the impact of improved treatments,breast screening and
awareness of the disease."
"However,there are still too many women affected and the incidence of the disease is increasing year by
year.,,
The rising rate of breast cancer diagnosis has been put down to a variety of factors including obesity
（肥胖）and alcohol consumption.

Joyce Sipes and Mary Ellen Dodge

When Joyce Sipes was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999,she shared the news
immediately with her sister Mary Ellen Dodge.Mary Ellen was there for her-helDina her
through the terror,and the fear,and the thousand questions that are inevitably a Dart of hearing the word"cancer".
Fortunately,a friend at work who had had a similar diagnosis highly recommended
Alonzo Walker,MD,Medical College of Wisconsin suraical oncoloaist（外科肿瘤学家）
and director of the Froedtert&Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Proaram.Joyce
maae an appointment.At an initial consultation,Dr. Walker spent two hours with Joyce and
her husDana.Joyce was so reassured;she cancelled her appointment to get a second
opinion elsewhere.
Ultimately, Joyce's cancer required a mastectomy（乳房切除术）.Reconstructive
surgery took place right away.She came to think of Dr. Walker as her partner."not just
my doctor."And the Froedtert nurses,she says,were"very unusual and impressive".
As it turned out,Joyce would soon have the chance to do something important for her
sister Mary Ellen.During her own cancer treatment,Joyce suqqested that Mary Ellen
should get herself checked through the Froedtert&Medical College of Wisconsin Breast
Cancer Program.In addition to its opportunities for examination and screenina.the hospital
had established a program especially for women in families at high risk for cancer. Sure
enough , it turned out that Mary Ellen had some cysts（囊肿）,one of which was
dangerous enough that it needed to be surgically removed.She's fine now一thanks to
Joyce's suggestion.
Both sisters experienced firsthand how Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin offers
more than leading-edge technology and the unmatched experience of physicians in an
academic medical center. It offers a comprehensive team approach一of consultation,
collaboration,and care一all focused on the individual patient.That's why Joyce came to
think of Froedtert,throughout the orocess of her treatment,as being her "security
blanket".
Joyce Sipes has been cancer-free five years now一an important milestone（里程碑）
tor breast cancer survivors.Joyce and Mary Ellen are together once aciain in their workshop
in Joyce's home , making the beautiful market baskets , bread baskets , muffin（松饼）
baskets,and Nantucket baskets that they and their customers love.

Thanks to Joyce's suggestion,Mary Ellen got
A:an opportunity to work as a nurse.
B: the same surgical procedure as her sister.
C: a timely check and treatment for breast cancer.
D:a chance to work for the Breast Cancer Program.
