Brest cancer

For the most common cancer in women wrote and spoke many more. However, most women still do not know enough about it and especially what they can do to reduce the risk of it. In most cases, everything is made in this direction is routine review during the annual visit to the GP. However, this is not all!
Take matters into your own hands
Do not rely on chance and others. At least once a month is check yourself and if you find any changes, contact your doctor immediately. Let him consider, and if necessary refer you to a specialist. Stand before a mirror at home, so to see all. Raise hands to the side of the shoulder height. Check for possible presence of any skin redness, wrinkles, inflammation, swelling, hardening. While in the shower, use prastitesi to check (with a circular motion) his chest, starting from the outside and finish on top. Feel and the space between the chest and armpits. If you think there’s anything suspicious, remember the place and during the next cycle so check back.
Check your genetic predisposition
It is estimated that about 10% of cancer cases attributable to hereditary factors (changes in BRCA1 and BRCA2). For your personal physician is also important to know whether his family have prior cases of this disease. If available, unfortunately you belong to a group at increased risk. Remember to check and kind paternal line – any cases in it are just as meaningful as the mother.

Fast Food Cancerogens

American doctors at the University of Kansas, analyzed the contents of carcinogens in various types of processed meat. The bacon, grilled chicken, especially chicken skin contains most compounds that lead to cancer, say scientists. The doctors have analyzed the composition of ready-to-eat meat products to determine the level therein of heterocyclic amines or substances known under the name of HCAs. These are carcinogenic compounds found in fried meat and other products prepared at high temperature. People who consume large amounts of meat products with carcinogenic HCAs, are at risk of stomach cancer, colon and breast. Ready-to-eat meat products including poultry meat or products that require further preparation, are rich in harmful compounds. Earlier researchers found that adding certain spices and seasonings before cooking can reduce the content of HCAs in fried meat recalls agency Thursday.
The researchers focused on several types of ready-to-eat meat products: hot dogs, beef, pork, sausages, delicatessen, ham, bacon, grilled chicken and turkey. The consumption of these very popular meat products in recent years has increased much because of the ease and convenient method of preparation. The meat was cooking in a microwave or regular oven and then was tested concentration of 5 different types of HCAs in the products. At least dangerous carcinogens from meat foods tested contained in hot dogs, while bacon and grilled chicken contain all five dangerous type HCAs.

Eat Apple

Forgive even the seemingly changes in lifestyle such as cycling and reducing fatty foods at the expense of fruit in a position to seriously influence to reduce the risk of malignancies. Millions of cases of cancer could be avoided without imposing complex methods of prevention, is the view set out in the report of the World Cancer Research Fund. The document proposes a list of basic measures that can be taken rapidly and by which, according to an expert, cancer will be reduced by at least one quarter. Calculations in the report show that over 25% of cases the most common forms of cancer can be avoided by improving the method of feeding, by increasing the movement and control weight.
“Logically, if things continue to develop as before, we expect a significant increase in the number of cancers – because of aging, sedentary living and increasing consumption of foods that have undergone more industrial processing and high energy content,” says Professor Martin Wiseman, project director.

Screening

Appropriate screening tests at the right time can really save lives. They allow early diagnosis of various serious diseases like cancer and diabetes long before the appearance of their first symptoms. Prophylactic examinations allow for early initiation of treatment, which in many cases ensure its success.
• Breast Cancer
Early detection of breast cancer significantly improves the chances for successful treatment. Screening of this disease allows diagnosis at an early stage and allows radical surgery.
Screening mammography
The review in mammology compulsory part of the annual screening of all women after 40 years of age. Experts recommend conducting a mammogram every two years after 50 years of age. Mammography is low-dosed X-ray, which can be diagnosed “lump” three years before it was touching. However normal mammogram does not exclude the possibility of breast cancer.
• cancer of the cervix
Neck is part of the uterus, which cuts into the cavity of the vagina. Chronic infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major risk factor for developing cervical cancer. Routine screening can detect precancerous cells or early stage cancer where treatment options are much greater.
Screening for cervical cancer
During a routine gynecological exam your doctor will take cells from the surface of the cervix (Pap test). These cells are examined thoroughly in a laboratory to detect or exclude prekantseroza and cancer. Well preventive examinations begin on 21 years of age, experts recommend.

Prepared Food

The modern nutritionists argue that the use of large amounts of “prepared food” leads to cancer in women. The modern man has less time to deal with cooking. Accordingly, he failed to complete meals consumed with calories and considered in sugar and starch. Most healthy and nourishing food requires mostly vegetables and meat, but their preparation is time consuming. So in today’s households are increasingly used in foods. Swedish scientists have conducted research in which participated 64 500 people. Experts concluded that the consumption of energy dense products, fast foods and the development of particular cancers in women (uterine cancer, breast, skin, pancreas) a direct link. According to them this is due to the fact that higher sugar content in the products of “fast food”, which rapidly accumulates in tissues and blood, resulting in stimulation of growth of cancer cells. Researchers stress that women aged over 49 years the risk of developing breast cancer is several times higher than the younger representatives of the beautiful gender.

Breast Cancer

Problems associated with breast cancer today are paying increasing attention. Unfortunately, despite numerous activities and campaigns organized even on state level, this is still one reason people do not tar all or part of misconceptions. You do not concern you – your family have never had breast cancer. Long been believed that heredity is a major cause for the development of cancer. Today has shown that only 10% of cases of breast cancer are genetically determined. In most families of women with breast cancer diagnosed this previously never encountered. So, healthy genes can not guarantee a healthy life. This is a disease of aging women to you earlier about your concerns. The 85% of women infected by breast cancer are over 40 years. But in recent years and this cancer is “rejuvenated” by significantly more prevalent in women cases even 30 years. Shape his legacy is developing particularly quickly and before the climax.
Your chances are ill be 1 to 8.
According to statistics, every eighth woman in the world suffering from breast cancer. To do this, however, risk eighth for you must live to 85 years. Until then many may die in a totally other reasons.
Harmful to make mammography.
Exposure in this study was not large and is absolutely safe for women over 40 years. Younger women may be limited by other methods – such as diagnosis fingers. As a rule of breast tissue in younger women is too dense for mammography and sufficiently sensitive to that even minor exposure. With age, tissues reduced the sensitivity of mammography and is safe.
