"We have developed a vaccine to prevent breast cancer!" No, you're not seeing things. These were the exact words expressed by Dr. Vincent Tuohy, immunologist at the Cleveland Clinic, who announced the development of his breakthrough breast cancer vaccine earlier this month.

Should you immediately take up drinking alcohol? Probably not. But you should remember to do other things that improve your heart health and decrease your cancer risk, like achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating a healthy diet.

These are not just statistics, data points filling up graphs and tables. These are our mothers, sisters, friends and neighbors -- women in the prime of their lives with so much at stake and so much more to give. So what's causing this serious public health problem?
