When confronted by breast cancer, many women feel overwhelmed by vast amounts of information, and terrified by the burden of having to make critical decisions quickly.

Breastcancer.org has created an innovative tool to address this problem. This dictionary is a compilation of numerous complex breast cancer terms defined in plain English.
