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.

some
new approaches in anticancer therapy has been emerged out, interested people can
read it to get info about that....Monoclonal Antibodies
The monoclonal antibodies are antibodies that recognize tumour-specific antigens. Thus they act as “magic bullets” which attack tumour cells, sparing the normal body cells. Hence they provide efficacy without the side effects commonly associated with anticancer drugs. Trastuzumab and rituximab are the first of these treatments to become available, and trastuzumab alone would have touched a quarter of a billion dollars in sales in the year 2000. Monoclonal antibodies can also be conjugated with antitumour drugs, toxins, or radionuclides. In such a situation, the monoclonal antibody may only be used to target the tumor, while the chemotherapeutic agent or radioactive compound does the real damage to the tumour cells. An example of such a treatment is pemtumumab, a potential agent for treating ovarian cancer.
Gene therapy
Gene therapy involves modification of the genetic code of the cell, causing a reprogramming of the cell. In cancer, gene therapy may be employed to arrest or prevent the disease. For example, delivering tumour-supressing genes to leukemic cells could stop or reverse the malignant process. Permanent reprogramming will occur if the DNA coding is incorporated into the cells’ genetic apparatus. A virus may be used as a vector to carry the DNA code to the target cells. Incidentally, the majority of gene therapy trials in progress today are targeting cancer and products based on gene therapy are expected to be available in a few years.
Antisense therapy is one approach to regulating gene expression in cancer cells, aiming to “turn off” the genes that cause cancer. It is based on the use of short spans of DNA or RNA to disrupt the expression of disease-related genetic code. Antisense DNA binds to RNA from disease genes, preventing its expression as disease.
Genes may also be introduced into tumor cells to augment cellular function at the tumor site, helping the body to overcome immune tolerance, and to elicit an anti-tumor immune response. The approaches to such transgenic immunotherapy include tumour vaccines and adoptive immunotherapy.
Tumor vaccines
Tumor vaccines involve transecting genes into tumor cells to render the tumor more immunogenic. This promotes recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and their activation, resulting in an anti-tumor response. A vaccine for tumors initiated or promoted by viruses could be derived from inactivated viruses or from viral antigens.
Adoptive immunotherapy
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and macrophages from a surgically-excised tumor can proliferate in the presence of interleukin-2 and can then be used for systemic adoptive immunotherapy when injected back into the patient. Administration of such cells can localize tumor sites by stimulating a population of lymphocytes that can lyse tumor cells but not normal cells.
Haemopoietic growth factors
Haemopoietic growth factors are involved in the production of blood cells from the bone marrow and are useful in reducing bone marrow toxicity associated with anticancer agents. These growth factors are cytokines that promote proliferation and differentiation of granulocytes and monocyte/macrophages.They include erythropoietin, granulocyte-macrophage stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte stimulating factor (G-CSF). GM-CSF and G-CSF increase the neutrophil count in peripheral blood after high dose chemotherapy followed by bone-marrow transplantation, thus resulting in lesser chances of infections. Erythropoietin can help to replenish red blood cells in aplastic anemia and after cancer chemotherapy. Recently thrombopoietin has been described; this agent may alleviate thrombocytopenia due to inadequate marrow production.
Interferon’s
The interferon were originally discovered as natural anti-viral compounds. They are of three types: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha-interferon, which is produced by leukocytes and lymphoblastic cells stimulated by viruses and certain microbial cell components, is used clinically for its anticancer activity. The antitumour effects are a result of direct cytotoxicity to tumour cells and stimulation of natural killer cells and macrophages. Alpha-interferon is active in a wide range of malignant disorders, most especially in the treatment of hairy cell leukaemia. Its role in the treatment of other neoplasm is under evaluation.
Interleukin-2
Interleukin-2 is a natural modulator of the immune system that stimulates specialized immune system cells, namely cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells. Recombinant interleukin-2 is manufactured through DNA technology and administered to the patient by intravenous infusion. Activated lymphocytes will target and kill the cancer cells.
proteolytic enzyme inhibition
If a growth is confined to its original tissue boundaries, even the rapid cellular multiplication occurring in its early phase may not cause serious disease. However, migration from the original tissue compartment, invasion of normal surrounding tissue and dissemination throughout the body constitute malignancy. To invade and metastasis, tumors release proteolytic enzymes which break down extracellular barriers comprising of a network of components such as laminin, fibronectin and other glycoprotein’s, collagens, and proteoglycans. Proteolytic enzymes inhibitors could block such break down and play a role in controlling the spread of cancer. One such inhibitor, batimistat, is now under evaluation.
Angiogenesis inhibitors
Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels. A cancer needs new blood vessels for its growth, and a drug that blocks the formation of these new blood vessels could cut off the tumor’s blood supply, thus destroying it. Many anti angiogenesis agents are being studied, including vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, platelet factor 4, thrombospondin-1, angiostatin and endostatin. In the future, angiogenesis inhibitors could be a regular component of anticancer therapy.
The emerging approaches to cancer management suggest that the treatment of cancer is set to undergo radical change. Successful disease management could also mean that perhaps soon enough, cancer will not be a dreaded disease anymore.

Why people get addicted on cigaret?
Nicotine is one of the main ingredients in tobacco and it`s also a powerful drug that speeds up your brain and central nervous system. It triggers the release of a chemical in your brain (dopamine) that boosts your mood, makes you feel calm, and at the same time, can make you feel more alert. The nicotine in cigarette smoke is absorbed through the skin lining of the mouth and the nose. The nicotine level in your blood peaks within 10 seconds of inhaling (breathing in) cigarette smoke into your lungs .Thus, your brain adjusts to the stimulation from nicotine and lowers your natural energy level or mood. You may then start to crave a cigarette for a boost. The more you smoke the more nicotine you need to feel good. Soon, your body craves nicotine to feel "normal." Being without nicotine for even a few hours can cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches, depression, anger, anxiety, and problems sleeping. Thus cigarette assist you more cigarette smoking.
Cause to quit smoking:
In every hour more than 10000
people get trapped in cigarettes. Cigarette contains many depressive chemicals
as well as carcinogenic product that are the reason of long time CNS depression
and lungs cancer repetitively. It`s known that atleast100 or more than 100
reasons are available against the smoking.
There are described few but predictable reason for quit smoking:
- Clean teeth
- Leaf without black spot
- Wrinkle-less face
- Less cough and cold
- Save money
How to quit smoking:
For stay away from tthe bad effect of ciggaret
please fallow those all proses respectively.
- At first i want to suggest you to Stay away from smokers and tell every person close to you ,that you are going to avoid smoking. this is a very impotent step for cease smoking.
- Set a date when you want to to leave smoking.
- Avoided smoking triggers alcohols
- Change your daily routine of eating, mainly change the time of lunch and dinner.
- Don't be awake for let night
- Change the time of rise up at morning and after wakening go for some free hand exercise, that will provide a relive from morning nicotine tendency.
- Use normal lozenge or mouth freshener when your body want cigaret.
if you don't able to get rid of
smoking from this above quieting procedure , then try those steps given
bellow.
At least when your cigaret trapped you totally ,we
are suggested some aids for quieting cigarette.
Nicotine patch: This is apply on the side of your neck in the
first morning and stay it for 3-4 hours.So we are
suggested some Brand name of common trans-dermal patch like, Habitrol,
Nicoderm, Nicoderm CQ, Nicotrol.
Nicotine lozenge: The nicotine lozenge is a nicotine
replacement therapy that comes in the form of a small, candy-like tablet. When
a nicotine lozenge is placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve over the
course of 20 to 30 minutes, nicotine is absorbed into the bloodstream,
relieving short-term cravings to smoke.
Brand names of the nicotine lozenge are Commit, Nicorette, Nicorette Mini
Lozenge etc.
Hypnosis for quit smoking:
During hypnosis for smoking cessation, a patient is often asked to
imagine unpleasant outcomes from smoking. For example, the hypnotherapist might
suggest that cigarette smoke smells like truck exhaust, or that smoking will
leave the patient's mouth feeling extremely parched.
Spiegel's method is one popular smoking cessation hypnosis technique
that focuses on three main ideas:
- Smoking poisons the body
- You need your body to live
- You should respect your body and protect it (to the extent you'd like to live)
The hypnotherapist teaches the smoker self-hypnosis, and then asks him or
her to repeat these affirmations anytime the desire to smoke occurs.
Thus you can relive from smoking for ever and ever

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.

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

How to
prevent lungs cancer induced by the
Any type of narcotic
element’s smokes entered in human lungs with specific sedative, narcotic
material which goes to the blood through lungs but the tar stored into the
blank alveoli space. After some transformation in lungs the tar material is
produced a lethal biochemical Benzo(a)Pyrol. This B(a)P is decreased the
alveoli space and transfer the normal lungs cell into the malignant cell.
So we are suggesting some precaution remedies to escape from the lungs
malignancy.
From some in vivo and in vitro
studies it’s situated that saffron has anticancer property. The coloring
pigment of the saffron is crocin and picocrocine react with the stored B(a)P in
the lungs . After the reaction the malignant property of tar is decreased.
Dose: 10 mg saffron × BDAC
(TWIES IN A DAY AFETR MILL)
PROSES OF INTAKEING SAFFRON:
10mg of
saffron dust intake every days in two times after mill with one cup of milk
after a heavy mill.
PRECAUTION:
do not intake in higher dose in a day. Higher dose of saffron may be cause of
toxicity.

Today there are many way of treatment for cancer, in which people can
choose to fight cancer. Most of these treatments have been used
traditionally long time ago.
Aromatherapy:
Aromatherapy utilizes
essential oils and fragrant substances from a plant’s flowers, stalks,
bar, roots, or leaves. These scents are released into the air, creating a
calming environment to promote relaxation and relieve stress.
Aromatherapy can be performed by a practitioner, but individuals may
also use aromatherapy without a practitioner present. The fragrant oils
are applied to the skin or added to bath water Aromatherapy is used to
relieve stress but is also used to treat a variety of ailments,
including infections, depression, insomnia, and high blood pressure. It
is important for an individual to consult a doctor before determining
the appropriate use for aromatherapy in an overall alternative cancer
treatment or alternative treatment for another disease.
Acupuncture:
This form of alternative cancer treatment derived from the Chinese and
is one of the oldest therapies in the world. For the past 20 years,
acupuncture has become more popular in the United States, and is being
used alone or with conventional Western medicine as a way to control
pain, reduce nausea, and help ailing patients who have chronic diseases.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into the body
at certain depths in specific areas of the body. Generally, the
procedure is not painful, although some people have reported feeling a
deep aching sensation when the needle reaches the correct depth within
the body. Acupuncture sessions usually last about 30 minutes, and
generally, a patient will have up to 12 total sessions. Anyone who is
considering acupuncture as an alternative cancer treatment should talk
to their doctor to determine if this is the best option for treatment. A
doctor may also be able to recommend a qualified acupuncture
practitioner.
Massage therapy:
In an effort to relieve muscle
tension and stress, massage therapy is performed on an individual by a
practitioner who kneads the body’s muscle and soft tissue. Massage has
been shown to alleviate pain, increase circulation, and promote overall
well being. This alternative cancer treatment can be used in addition to
other alternative cancer treatment options. However, it is important to
consult a doctor to help seek out a licensed massage therapist.
so don't lead panic life for the cancer fear medical since update every moment to protect human being from lethal cancer if the patient arrived in hand of health system at the actual time. so please know about cancer more than you know to detect your symptoms for stay healthy.
