John Little can hardly go a week without a reminder that he and other Native Americans often are viewed as relics of the past: the Indian maiden on the butter container at the grocery store, the kids’ teepees sold at popular retailers and the sports fans with their faces painted doing tomahawk chops at games.

According to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts & Figures 2019 report, an estimated 268,600 new cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed this year, and 42,260 people are anticipated to die of the disease in 2019. The ACS reports that "the overall 5- and 10-year relative survival rates for women with invasive breast cancer are 90 percent and 83 percent respectively."

Part of the reason we track (survival rates) is to see whether the incidence of cancer is increasing or if people are dying less once they develop the disease," Hershman says.'
