The leading cause of death in women between the ages of 35-45 is
A) cervical cancer.
B) ovarian cancer.
C) uterine cancer.
D) fibrocystic disease.
E) breast cancer.

Accepted Answer

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 35-45. While other cancers and diseases (such as cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancer, as well as fibrocystic disease) can also affect women in this age range, breast cancer poses the greatest risk of mortality. It is important for women to receive regular mammograms and to perform self-exams to detect any changes in their breast tissue.
