Monday, 15 October 2012 - 1 Comment

Breast cancer claims the lives of thousands of women each year. In the last two decades breast cancer raised the commonest mortal violence of malignancy. The incidence of breast cancer is 6 time higher in developed countries than the developing countries. Breast cancer is a malignant growth that begins in the tissues of the breast. Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

In here we will provide a closer look about the symptoms, risk factors, prevention and for best cancer.

Breast Cancer – What are the Symptoms?

Since symptoms of breast cancer are not easily noticeable in its early stages. If you perform a monthly self breast exam, you can notify the changes.
Some risk factor for breast cancer :

we are want to notified our new follower, that in our early-er post we were described the all risk factor about breast cancer ,so please follow the link to know about risk factor for breast cancer.
Symptoms and signs of breast cancer can include:

Swelling of the breast or swelling in the lymph nodes
If your breast is warm or hot to the touch this can be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer
Continuous pain in nipple with sudden relive
Persistent tenderness of the breast
Discharge from the nipple can be clear or bloody
Lumps in the breast, no matter how small
Breast itching
Dimpled breast skin
A red, blotchy breast that may have a rash-like appearance is possible symptom of inflammatory breast cancer

Breast Cancer Prevention and Diet:

Are you know obesity can be reduces breast cancer probability by hormonal retardation. That means some food, that related with some hormonal factor can also be reduce the breast cancer tendency.

So we will provide a right diet list that could reduce your risk of getting breast cancer by up to 50%.

Include fiber containing rich food in your daily diet, such as whole-grain breads and cereals, can help lower the amount of prolactin and estrogen. They are bind with this hormones and flushing them out of the body.
Intake every day some vegetable rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, squashes, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens, as spinach and collard and mustard greens, can be reduce breast cancer tendency. It is thought that vitamin A inhibits the formation of cancer-causing mutations & this type of vegetable increase the release of protective enzyme.
Cutting out heavy fat containing food from your daily diet list, it can be reduce your breast cancer tendency.

Mainly rediation and chemo therapy is used for the treatment of breast cancer but today many alternative cancer treatment is availabel in our medical system,so didn't lead your life in a panic condition.

Always remember that prevention is better than cure so fallow our prevention rule to stay healthy.

Obesity can reduce the tendency of breast cancer

Tuesday, 17 July 2012 - 0 Comments

Being obese may affect a woman's response to breast cancer treatment, a small new study suggests.

British researchers looked at 54 postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, meaning that the tumor may grow in the presence of estrogen. More than three-quarters of breast cancers require estrogen to grow, so blocking the production or action of estrogen is one of the main ways to treat the disease.

The researchers found that obese breast cancer patients had higher levels of estrogen than women of normal weight.

The women in the study also were compared according to their body-mass index (BMI). BMI is a measure of obesity based on height and weight, and a BMI of 30 is considered the threshold for obesity. Women with a BMI of 30 to 35 had about three times higher levels of estrogen in their blood than those with a BMI of less than 25.

After treatment with hormone-suppressing drugs, estrogen levels in the obese women dropped significantly, but still remained at more than double the levels seen in women of normal weight.

The researchers emphasized that women undergoing breast cancer treatment should not be concerned by the findings. They also said the study results may lead to improvements in doctors' ability to select the best treatment for overweight and obese breast cancer patients.

"Our findings are based on laboratory studies, so we would need to carry out clinical trials to tell us whether women with a higher BMI would benefit from changes to their treatment," study senior author Mitch Dowsett, a team leader in the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Centre at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, said in an institute news release.

Some risk factors for Breast malignancy

Monday, 16 July 2012 - 0 Comments

In the last two decades breast cancer raised the commonest mortal violence of malignancy. The incidence of breast cancer is 6 time higher in developed countries than the developing countries. According to the current status of knowledge, the following risk factors are considered significantly in its etiology:

Four main reasons of breast cancer are described below:
1. Genetical factor: As per recent discovery it`s known that the breast cancer is created by the genetical mutation.
· If first degree relatives (mother, sister) are affected by breast carcinoma, then the probability of breast cancer is higher 2-6 folds in the daughter body.
· The risk factor also higher if mother is affected by the ovarian cancer.
· If breast cancer is present in family then two genotype BRCA1 & BRCA2 is carried the probability of breast cancer in generation wise. So the risk factor of breast carcinoma also increase. BRCA11 gene also predictable for the ovarian cancer carrier.
· Mutation in P53 tumor suppressive gene is tends to the reason of carcinoma in about 40% of cases.
2. Lactation: If a lacted mother affected by the breast cancer then cancer probability is transfer to the chilled body through lactation. In here MMTV virus is main reason of transformation which infected the chilled breast in 15-30 years.
3. Hormonal problem: when estrogen and progesterone balanced is hampered by any reason then the risk factor increase in 5-10 folds. Almost about 40% cases are due to the imbalanced in hormone system.
4. Excess use of pills: excess use of pills imbalanced progesterone secretion thus it interrupt the estrogen –progesterone balanced and carcinogen occur

Some secondary reasons of breast carcinoma:

1. Consumption of large amount of animal fats, high calorie foods.

2. Cigarette smoking

3. Alcohol consumption

4. Breast mentation surgery

5. Expose to ionizing radiation during breast development.

6. Rapture in vessels during massage for breast developing
