"For more than fifty years, we have been waging, but not winning, the war on cancer. We're better than ever at treating the disease, yet cancer still claims the lives of one in five men and one in six women in the US.

"When Jackie Fox was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, her doctor explained that DCIS is very early state--so early it's classified as stage O. That was the good news. The bad news is it can become life-threatening if not treated, and treatment is the same as for more aggressive cancers.
