Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer awareness month and although more and
more people are becoming aware of the fact that breast cancer is a
significant concern for females across the population, many fail to
realize the role lifestyle plays in its prevention and management.
Breast cancer accounts for over one third of invasive cancers in
women. Epidemiological studies have linked diet composition with
prognosis, indicating the strong role diet may play in prevention. Many
medical professionals are recognizing that a physically active lifestyle,
combined with weight management and a calorie controlled, low-fat
diet high in vegetables, fruits, fiber and low in red meat intake are
important components to reducing the risk. From the literature it
seems that physical activity helps mediate inflammatory chemicals
associated with obesity, while diet modification has a positive effect on
gonadal hormones, retinoid-like activities of carotenoids, and
increases the protective effects of biologically active dietary
constituents.
We can use this opportunity to spread the word about steps women
can take to detect breast cancer early.
Here are just a few ideas:
Ask doctors and nurses to speak to women about the importance of
getting screened for breast cancer.
Encourage women ages 40 to 49 to talk with their doctors about when
to start getting mammograms.
Definition of breast cancer: Cancer that forms in tissues of the breast.
The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which
begins in the lining of the milk ducts (thin tubes that carry milk from
the lobules of the breast to the nipple). Another type of breast cancer
is lobular carcinoma, which begins in the lobules (milk glands) of the
breast. Invasive breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from
where it began in the breast ducts or lobules to surrounding normal
tissue. Breast cancer occurs in both men and women, although male
breast cancer is rare. So lets all go out and get examined today.
