What is breast cancer? | program #Emirates_Morning. Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumours. If left unchecked, the tumours can spread throughout the body and become fatal. Breast cancer cells begin inside the milk ducts and/or the milk-producing lobules of the breast. The earliest form (in situ) is not life-threatening and can be detected in early stages. Cancer cells can spread into nearby breast tissue (invasion). This creates tumours that cause lumps or thickening. Invasive cancers can spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs (metastasize). Metastasis can be life-threatening and fatal. Treatment is based on the person, the type of cancer and its spread. Treatment combines surgery, radiation therapy and medications. Scope of the problem In 2022, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 670 000 deaths globally. #BreastCancer occurs in every country of the world in women at any age after puberty but with increasing rates in later life. Global estimates reveal striking inequities in the breast cancer burden according to human development. For instance, in countries with a very high Human Development Index (HDI), 1 in 12 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and 1 in 71 women die of it. In contrast, in countries with a low HDI; while only 1 in 27 women is diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, 1 in 48 women will die from it.

** Ambulance Department ** Breast cancer is a formidable adversary that affects countless lives worldwide. Here’s a concise overview of this disease: What Is Breast Cancer? Origin: It begins as an abnormal growth of cells in breast tissue. Types: Breast cancer can manifest in various forms, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma, and invasive lobular carcinoma. Spread: It can start in one or both breasts and may spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms and Diagnosis: Symptoms may go unnoticed initially, but they can include: A lump or mass in the breast that feels different from surrounding tissue , changes in shape, size, or appearance of the breast and/or Nipple discharge, breast rash, or skin texture changes. Diagnostic Methods: Physical Examination: Checking for lumps, tenderness, or hardness in the breasts and lymph nodes. Mammogram: X-ray imaging of the breast. Ultrasound: Using sound waves to detect abnormal lumps. MRI: Detailed imaging of breast tissue. Biopsy: Removing a sample of breast cells for microscopic examination. Remember, early detection and proactive care are crucial in the battle against breast cancer. Seek professional guidance and lean on support systems to navigate this challenging journey

Interesting apparent “paradox” pointed out on bilateral mastectomies? Bilateral Mastectomy and Breast Cancer Mortality Vasily Giannakeas, PhD, MPH1,2,3; David W. Lim, MDCM, MEd, PhD1,4,5,6; Steven A. Narod, MD1,3,6 JAMA Oncol. Published online July 25, 2024. doi:10.1001/jamaoncol.2024.2212 Breast cancer surgeons have tended not to push patients towards bilateral mastectomy, since data have long shown that the complete removal of both breasts doesn’t improve survival. New data from a large epidemiological study affirmed that, but an accompanying finding is puzzling. Breast cancer survivors who ended up developing a second breast cancer in the opposite or contralateral breast had a higher risk of death, even though preventing that cancer with surgery didn’t change outcomes? Cancer patients getting a single mastectomy, or a double mastectomy all return about the same rate of survival: over 80% over 20 years of followup. However, STAT’s cancer reporter Angus Chen writes, the new study turns up a puzzling finding: Survivors who ended up developing a second breast cancer in their opposite, or contralateral, breast had a higher risk of death from breast cancer, even though people who got a double mastectomy died at the same overall rates. “That seems like a paradox,” said Steven Narod, a breast cancer researcher and physician at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto and the lead author on the study. “If you get a contralateral breast cancer, your risk of dying goes up. But preventing it doesn’t improve your survival”?? #breastcancer #mastectomy #survival

Aug. 18 marks World Breast Cancer Research Day. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of breast cancer research, funding new treatments and supporting those affected by this disease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases diagnosed in 2020 alone, according to the World Health Organization. Research is crucial in advancing early detection, developing innovative treatments and, ultimately, finding a cure. Breast cancer care has significantly evolved over the last two decades. With such incredible advancements in technology, breast cancer treatment options have expanded well beyond just chemotherapy. At St. Elizabeth our breast health team gathers detailed information from your health history and test results to create a customized, comprehensive treatment plan. Our goal is to make the best possible treatment recommendation, using specialized testing that can help us tailor treatments to your specific cancer cells. Possible breast cancer treatment options can include a combination of: surgery, such as mastectomy or lumpectomy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and radiation.You might also be a candidate for clinical trials, additional genetic testing, and/or reconstructive surgery. Join us in supporting breast cancer research and celebrating the advancements that have already been made. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gbj_R5-S 🔗 https://lnkd.in/giVTRBFA #StElizabethCancerCare #StElizabethCancerScreening

As of the end of 2020, there were 7.8 million women alive who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the past 5 years, making it the world’s most prevalent cancer. Breast cancer occurs in every country of the world in women at any age after puberty but with increasing rates in later life, and no one cares until it happens to you. Kimlyn was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in November. The news has been shocking and life changing. She began chemo on the 14th of December and had her second session last week. She is strong and brave and I am so proud of her. #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #cancer #posters #designerlife
