This means that over 90% of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer today will survive the disease for five years or more, according to the study. The study examined routine data from the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service of 512,447 women in England diagnosed with early-stage invasive breast cancer between Jan. 1993 to Dec. 2015. They found that the prognosis for women has “improved substantially” and that "most [women] can expect to become long term cancer survivors,” the study said.
Dr. David Dodwell from Oxford University’s Department of Population Health. "Our general feeling that things are getting better has been confirmed and, not only that, we can probably be more optimistic than we had dared to hope.”

We Need Men to Be Better Allies SoonerResearch shows that men vastly overestimate their effectiveness as allies compared to how the women in their organizations perceive them. In this particular moment, when the retention rates of young women are significantly low — it is important for men to intentionally work to close that gap. Men anywhere in the hierarchy can take small, intentional steps to create an environment where women feel included, valued, and encouraged. Learn about issues that matter to women in the workplace. A critical first step to active allyship is having a clear understanding of women’s needs, challenges, and strengths. Attend any events sponsored by your organization’s women’s employee and business resource groups. Regularly read content written by women thought leaders, as well as research on women’s workplace experiences. In spaces where you’re showing up to learn, prioritize listening before speaking.
