Danenberg is the first Black woman to climb atop Mount Everest and just the second person of African descent to conquer the world s tallest mountain. Danenberg was born Sophia Marie Scott in 1972 and raised in Chicago s south suburb of Homewood to a Black father and Japanese mother. Although she was a track athlete while attending Homewood-Flossmoor High School, Danenberg didn t discover mountain climbing until she was a student at Harvard University. After scaling mountains in the states, Danenberg began to take the sport seriously and tackled several summits across the globe. Danenberg set her sights on Everest in the spring of 2006 at the age of 34. With just a week to prepare for the dangerous two-month journey, Danneberg and eight others took what is known as an unguided climb up the Nepalese mountain. Danneberg carried her own gear, pitched her own tent, and had the help of two Sherpas. Without a guide, Danneberg relied mostly on her own wits and experience climbing smaller but still formidable mountains. On May 19, 2006, Danenberg completed the 29,000 foot climb. Other mountains Danenberg bested include McKinley in Alaska, Mount Tasman in New Zealand, Mount Baker in Washington State, and Kilimanjaro alongside her husband, David Danenberg who joined her on some of the climbs. It isn t all about mountains for the current Seattle resident. After leaving Harvard with a degree in environmental science and public policy, Danenberg became a Fulbright Fellow and attended Keio University in Tokyo. Danenberg then worked for United Technologies in Japan. She now lives in Seattle and works at Boeing. Black South African Sibusiso Vilane was the first person of African descent to summit Everest in He did so again in 2005 and has since climbed all the Seven Summits, the seven highest mountains in the world.

5 Invasive breast cancer Invasive breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells from inside the milk ducts or lobules break out into nearby breast tissue. Cancer cells can travel from the breast to other parts of the body through the blood stream or the lymphatic system. They may travel early in the process when the tumor is small or later when the tumor is large. What is Breast Cancer? What is cancer? In a healthy body, natural systems control the creation, growth and death of cells. Cancer occurs when these systems do not work right and cells do not die at the normal rate. There is more cell growth than cell death. This excess growth can make a mass of tissue. What is breast cancer? Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast divide and grow without their normal control. Tumors in the breast tend to grow slowly. By the time a lump is large enough to feel, it may have been growing for as long as 10 years. (Some tumors are aggressive and grow much faster.) Between 50 and 75 percent of breast cancers begin in the milk ducts, about 10 to 15 percent begin in the lobules and a few begin in other breast tissues [4]. Learn more about breast anatomy. Non-invasive vs. invasive breast cancer It is important to understand the differences between invasive breast cancer and non-invasive breast cancer, called ductal carcinoma in situ (DUK-tul kar-sin-o-ma in SY-too, sometimes called DCIS). These differences affect treatment and prognosis. DID YOU KNOW? It is estimated that more than 50,000 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ, a noninvasive breast cancer, will be diagnosed in 2015.* Non-invasive breast cancer - ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) When abnormal cells grow inside the milk ducts, but have not spread to nearby tissue or beyond, the condition is called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The term "in situ" means "in place." With DCIS, the abnormal cells are still "in place" inside the ducts. DCIS is a non-invasive breast cancer (you may also hear the term preinvasive breast carcinoma ). The lymph nodes in the underarm area (the axillary lymph nodes) are the first place breast cancer is likely to spread. In advanced stages, breast cancer cells may spread to other parts of the body like the liver, lungs, bones and brain (a process called metastasis). There, the breast cancer cells may again begin to divide too quickly and make new tumors. This is called metastatic breast cancer. Breast cancer in men Breast cancer in men is rare, but it does happen. Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment Breast cancer is not one disease. One person s breast cancer diagnosis may be quite different from another s. Because of the differences between breast cancers and between people, treatment can vary from person to person. Other types of cancer that occur in the breast Most cancers that occur in the breast are breast cancers (breast carcinomas). In rare cases, other types of cancer such as lymphomas (cancer of the lymph system) and sarcomas (cancer of the soft tissues) can occur in the breast. And, in rare cases, cancers from other parts of the body can metastasize to the breast and mimic breast cancers. Other types of tumors in the breast can be benign (not cancer) or cancerous. Because these cancers are not carcinomas, they are treated differently than breast cancer. For more information on other cancers that can occur in the breast, such as lymphomas and phyllodes tumors, visit the National Cancer Institute's website. *American Cancer Society.
