The New York Times reports the most common form of breast cancer dropped 15% from August, 2002 to December, 2003.
The newly released report from American researchers gives cause for optimism but still awaits comparison to results from other countries such as Canada.
The researchers believe the drop is probably tied to the decision of many women to drop hormone therapy for symptoms of menopause after a study suggested the hormones could cause an increase in breast cancer.
