Vigilance needed to Survive Breast cancer

#Breast_cancer is the most frequently occurring #cancer in women and the second most common cancer globally. Globally, more than two million new cases of breast cancer were reported in 2018. It’s estimated that about 7% of all breast cancer cases diagnosed occur in women under the age of 40. According to the American Cancer Society, about one in eight invasive breast cancers develop in women younger than 45, whereas two in three invasive breast cancers occur in #women aged 55 or older. Breast cancer occurrence also differs between patients diagnosed before and after menopause. Although breast cancer may occur in men, its occurrence is rare, and one in a thousand men may be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Breast cancer is regarded as a #heterogeneous disease — the way it develops and affects individual patients varies greatly. Some breast cancer subtypes are #hormone-dependent. Breast cancer cells that possess #oestrogen receptors are defined as oestrogen-positive (ER+). #Breast_cancer cells containing progesterone receptors are called progesterone-positive (PR+) cancers. Hormone receptor-positive cancers occur more frequently. Hormone receptor-positive cancers also have improved prognosis. Hormone receptor-negative cancers may be more difficult to treat, and have the likelihood of a higher pathological grade.

Preventative surgery may decrease the risk of breast cancer, but does not provide a 100% certainty that the person will not develop cancer. Frequent surveillance and screenings should be considered. #Medication as preventative therapy may also be considered to assist high-risk women to decrease their risk of being diagnosed with cancer. The elimination of #cancer requires a combination of cancer awareness to address the burden of this disease — prevention strategies, contributing to early detection and promoting health and well-being education and the acceleration of science and discovery and progress in technology.
