Is it true that about one in eight US women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during their lifetime?
Yes. One peer-reviewed review states that around one in eight women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, matching the claim's figure. A global cancer statistics report gives only all-cancer lifetime figures and does not address the US invasive breast cancer rate.
