Once you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, usually treatment starts first with surgery. There are generally two components to the operation: 1) the breast, and 2) the axilla (armpit). In the breast, there are two choices: 1) lumpectomy (removing the cancer lump and some surrounding tissue), or 2) mastectomy (removing the entire breast). Just a quarter of a century ago, almost all patients had mastectomy, even if their breast cancer is small. But over the past few decades, it has been

 Breast cancer is affecting approximately 200,000 women each year all over the world. From those, about 5% will die from the disease. The key factor is early detection. The prognosis time frame to treatment time frame varies on the type of testing done. Initial testing should be done at home.

Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases affecting man. There are many types of cancer, each of which affects a particular part of the body with their unique symptoms, requiring a unique treatment procedure.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American women. In 2009, approximately 194,280 patients are estimated to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and 62,280 with carcinoma in situ. An estimated 40,610 will die of this disease. For a woman of average risk, the lifetime incidence of breast cancer is one in eight. Serum tumor markers for breast cancer used in the clinic include CA 15-3, CEA (carcinoembyonic antigen), and

Everyone is affected by smoking, regardless of the gender. Smoking is not only the pastime of males. Even if in the onset of the twentieth century it was rare for women to smoke, the number increased greatly over the past decades. In a survey in 2002, it is estimated that 20 percent of the woman population smokes, and each year, it is estimated that 142,000 women dies due to diseases that are related to smoking. The Consequences of Smoking Women smokers suffer all the consequences of

Breast cancer is devastating for everyone involved. It is the second most common type of cancer, coming only after lung cancer. It is the most common type of cancer in women.

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer of women in the world. It can happen to anybody, young or old, married or single. One in 5 women is at the risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime in USA. In India the incidence is slightly lower but it is increasing.

While a tremendous amount of research has been done on the causes of breast cancer, an exact breakdown by percentages or some such measure is still not completely accurate. Hormone levels and those levels related to age are factors. Diet and heredity are also among the most important indicators of breast cancer probability. The hormones in question are estrogen and progesterone. Any levels significantly different from the average of the females at the age the woman is, represents an increase

Perhaps you’ve heard some of them. If you have an abortion, you won’t be able to have children, or you will develop breast cancer or mental health problems.

Most anti-abortion activists oppose abortion for their own moral and religious

Breast cancer is more than just a serious medical problem for women. For most it means a shattering of their lives, threatening to cut short their existence. For others, better made and well prepared, the cancer is nothing but a challenge to test one’s resolve as well as the chance to solicit support and compassion from people whom a woman holds dear. But apart from the support a woman may get, there is the stark reality that breast cancer is an aberration of their normal and healthy
