New Breast Cancer Awareness And Information
Breast cancer can be said to be one of the oldest known type
of cancer tumors in humans mostly in women. The oldest description
of this deadly disease, though the term cancer was not used,
was discovered in Egypt years ago.
The most prevalent cancer in women is breast cancer, it is also
the second most common cause of death in women apart from lung
cancer. Because the breast is composed of identical tissues in
males and females, breast cancer also occurs in males though
it is less common.
In the olden days before technology starts in earnest, there
is a believe that there is no treatment for cancer. For years,
many physicians in their practices, described similar cases with
the same sad conclusion that there is no treatment for cancer.
The story remained the same until some doctors achieved greater
understanding of the circulatory system that a link between breast
cancer and the lymph nodes in the armpit can be established and
be removed at the same time.
The first attempt to remove the lymph nodes, breast tissue,
and underlying chest muscle was successful, which removed the
fear that there is no treatment for the deadly disease called
breast cancer.
Most breast pain or painful breast lump can be a case of early
breast cancer. Since breast mammography started, breast cancer
is most frequently discovered as an nodule that causes no symptom
on a mammogram, before any symptoms are present.
The probability of breast cancer rises with age, but breast
cancer tends to be more aggressive when it occurs in younger
people. |
