Breast Cancer information.
As with
all cancers it only takes one rogue cell to keep
multiplying to cause problems.
It is a
fact that one in eight women will get breast cancer and
that they have a one in thirty three chance of it
causing death.
Breast Cancer causes.
Doctor's
and medical science come up with many reasons on what
causes any type of cancer.
First they
tend to look at family history and if cancers do run in
the family there's a good chance it will affect you.
Many say
that it's down to things like tobacco or being over
weight as in obese and some will even say it's down to
diet.
There are
so many things that can cause cancer in today's modern
world when you think of all the toxins and radiation
that are constantly around us all the while.
Breast Cancer symptoms.
There are
many signs and symptoms you should look out for and I'm
sure most woman about checking themselves for lumps on a
weekly basis.
On these
checks you should check not only the breast but under
the arm as well and then around the collar bone region.
Then there
is the shape factor and if you find that your breasts or
breast has an unusual shape please get yourself checked
out by a Doctor.
Also it is
advisable to check on your weight and should you
suddenly start loosing weight this can be another sign.
If the
breast or breast becomes sore or tender to touch or even
changes colour you should go to your Doctor.
Breast Cancer treatment.
Breast
cancer usually is treated by surgery where a full
examination of the breast and surrounding tissue is
studied and after that there is a good chance that you
will have chemotherapy or radiotherapy to make sure that
all the cancer has been removed.
In most
cases the lump is simply taken away but it some cases a
full mastectomy is done.
