According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.:

In 2021, an estimated 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S. as well as 49,290 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.

63% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage (there is no sign that the cancer has spread outside of the breast), for which the 5-year survival rate is 99%.

This year, an estimated 43,600 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.

Although rare, men get breast cancer too. In 2021, an estimated 2,650 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in the U.S. and approximately 530 will die.

1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2021, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

There are over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.

One week remains in September - Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - to share more information about Childhood Cancer.

According to the Children's Cancer Research Fund, each year, more than 15,000 kids and young adults are diagnosed with cancer—that’s about 43 per day.

Though the 5-year-survival rate for childhood cancers has reached 80 percent, nearly 2,000 kids under age 19 die each year, making cancer the leading killer of children by disease.

And that’s just in the United States. In 2016, over 300,000 kids and young adults were diagnosed worldwide.

In September and every month, we recognize Childhood Cancer and strive for a cure.

AMR locations nationwide are currently enrolling in investigational Adult RSV vaccine clinical research studies. Respiratory Syncytial Virus – or RSV – is most commonly discussed in children ages newborn to four. However, RSV, much like the flu or coronavirus, can cause long-term damage to the lungs. It can be life-threatening for adults 60 years and older and for those with compromised health conditions.

According to the CDC, it is estimated that more than 177,000 older adults are hospitalized and 14,000 of them die in the United States due to RSV infections per year. In 2018, more elder Americans died from RSV infection than the common flu.

Happy Grandparents Day!

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is most often associated with newborns and children under four. However, RSV, much like the flu and coronavirus, can cause long-term damage to the lungs. It can be life-threatening for adults 60 years and older and for those with compromised health conditions.

One reason RSV prevention is so important in elderly adults is due to the social normalcy that seniors are often child care providers to their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Twenty years later and beyond, we will never forget.

Dr. Mark Adams, AMR Lexington, discussed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) with WKTY recently.

“It’s very prevalent. In fact, it’s probably about half the incidents of flu which is quite a bit of numbers from that stand point,” Dr. Adams said. “It affects the elder population probably like it does the pediatric.”

Dr. Adams is tells us testing for the virus is relatively new and, since it began, data shows RSV impacts roughly 177,000 and kills nearly 14,000 Americans over the age of 65 every year, compared to just 200-500 children.

“Now, we have the ability to test for it and this vaccine is the first to be developed to try to prevent that,” Dr. Adams said. https://www.wkyt.com/2021/09/02/volunteers-needed-rsv-vaccine-study-lexington/

Dr. Mary Bailey, AMR Norfolk, was interviewed about our current RSV vaccine clinical research study. This study is also being conducted at our Wichita East, Wichita West, El Dorado and Newton research centers.

"RSV has been been on our doorstep for a long time," said Dr. Mary Bailey, MD, a physician investigator with the Alliance for Multispecialty Research in Norfolk. "What we're seeing now in the U.S., again per CDC surveillance data, is a rise in reported cases within children at this point during the summer months."

"We need participants and we appreciate participants. This is how all vaccines really all medications are brought to the general public," Bailey said.

AMR is looking for anyone 60 and older to participate. It is a multi-year trial, but volunteers will be compensated for their time.
