What Should Young Women Know about Breast Cancer?

Remember that young women often have breast lumps and very few actually are cancer.
Is doing a breast exam helpful? 

Women below the age of 20-24 have an incidence of 1 in 100,000 of breast cancer. Only 55% of breast cancer cases have any identifiable risk factor. Your doctor will do a breast exam to check for the lump. If the lump is still present, your doctor will likely order an ultrasound of your breast to check out the lump.
While a breast self exam does not seem to change the outcome of breast cancer, it is up to each woman to decide if she wishes to practice it.

What should young women know about breast cancer?
This is a disease that gets more frequent with age. Women below the age of 20-24 have an incidence of 1 in 100,000 of breast cancer. The rate rises as you age: by age 40 the rate is 100 per 100,000. What are the risk factors? Only 55% of breast cancer cases have any identifiable risk factor. Of those that are present many are not modifiable: gender, age, family history of breast cancer and history of radiation treatment to the chest area. There are slight increases in breast cancer incidence in those who are obese, especially after menopause, those who drink alcohol and perhaps, those who have used birth control pills.
The effect of the pill is controversial, with good studies on both sides of the debate. The risk is only slight and reduces so that ten years after you use it the risks are the same as for someone who has never used the pill.

Cervical cancer can be prevented!
The cervix is the entrance to the uterus at the top of the vagina. The cells on the cervix can change to abnormal cells temporarily or on the way to becoming cancerous. Regular pap smears look at the cervical cells and detect abnormalities that can be treated before a cancer develops.
Get a pap smear...
Depending on the results of the pap smear, a woman or mother may need to repeat once a year for three years, and, if all are normal, she can increase the time between pap smears to every 2 years. If the results show atypical cells of undetermined significance or low grade lesions, repeating the pap every 6 months and watching for signs of recovery is the recommended course of action. If changes are persistent for 2 years or more of a high grade, colposcopy is recommended.
In Canada there are about 3.5 per 100,000 people who are diagnosed with cervical cancer by 30 years of age. Immunizations with the Human Papilloma Virus vaccines reduce the risk of cervical cancer by 70%. There are 2 vaccines in Canada: Gardisil ($130.00) and Cervirix ($90.00) that can prevent infection with the common HPV strains that lead to cervical cancer (types 16 and 18) but only Gardisil can also reduce visible genital warts. Get the HPV vaccine at Student Health Service.

Action Before Bad Condition,.., Please!!!

The more abortions a woman’s had, the greater the risk that she’ll get breast cancer. The risk increases as a woman ages: While having “just” one abortion doesn’t significantly increase a woman’s chances to get breast cancer when she’s young, it catches up with her when she reaches her post-menopausal years.
Having had at least one child has a protective effect on a woman’s health. These test findings have been confirmed again and again.
There have been studies done in the West on a positive correlation between abortion and breast cancer. Now, a new Chinese study is confirming the abortion-breast cancer link.
First, a crash course on statistics and scientific studies!
The word “correlation” means association — that two variables are associated together. While a correlation is not causation, a constantly recurrent association is strongly suggestive of a cause-effect relationship.
The word “positive” refers to the relationship between two variables: they both increase or both decrease in intensity. A “negative” correlation means the two variables travel in opposite direction, that is, as one increases, the other decreases. In this case, a positive correlation means that as the number of abortions a woman has had increases, the likelihood of getting breast cancer also increases.
Additionally, when scientists find a correlation, the results typically are tested for their “statistical significance“ or “level of significance — which is an effort to determine if the results could have happened by pure chance alone. Popular levels of significance are 10% (0.1), 5% (0.05), 1% (0.01), 0.5% (0.005), and 0.1% (0.001). Choosing level of significance is a somewhat arbitrary task, but for many applications, a level of 5% is chosen. The most demanding standard of statistical significance is the 0.01 interval. This means that the probability for the test result happening by pure chance is only 1 out of 1,000. That, in turn, confers “significance” or credibility on the test result.
Lastly, an important principle in science is verifiability or replicability. A test should be repeated by other scientists who can confirm the alleged results. The more the test is replicated and the same results are obtained, the more confident we have that an alleged relationship indeed is true.

Breast squeezing, Breast Cancer Missing! "Oh Yess"

Experimental results showed, squeezing breasts to prevent the growth of malignant cells in the area of breast cancer triggers.TEAM Research from University of California, USA, discover a simple yet powerful way to prevent breast cancer.
Apply a little squeeze to make the cells in the breast back to normal growth patterns.
It was not indiscriminate squeeze, but researchers believe the findings could be a clue to cancer treatment method that is more efficacious.
As told by the research team leader Gautham Venugopalan, squeezing can reduce their risk of breast cancer because of a slight touch alone can greatly affect body condition.

"When we lift weights, your muscles become larger. Physical movement can influence the growth. But for cancer cells, the opposite is true, "said Venugopalan told MSN.

These findings come from experiments with malignant cells are injected into the silicon flexible.
The researchers then wiggled silicon, such as shaken and knead.
Eventually, malignant cells in it began to grow normally and in an orderly form as in the healthy breast.
"The cells were still able to come back healthy, but they need to be guided in order to grow in a healthy pattern," said Venugopalan.

15 Natural Remedies Overcome Breast Cancer

2. Reduce fat.
You have often heard disagreement about the relationship between cancer breasts with fatty foods. Several studies have shown that low-fat diets help prevent breast cancer.

But to avoid fruits and vegetables that contain a lot of fat, such as french fries or banana cream pie with.

thus reducing the effects of breast cancer triggers. In addition to blocking estrogen the body to reach the receptor cells, food berkedelai also accelerates expenditure estrogen from the body.
8. Eat more beans.
In addition to soy, Phy-estrogen is also present in other types of beans.
9. Avoid alcohol.
Many studies have shown that the more alcohol consumed, the risk of cancer Breast increasing because alcohol increases estrogen levels in the blood.
10. Watch your weight.
Every pound of weight gain after the age of 18 years will increase the risk of breast cancer. This because in line with the increase in body fat, the levels of estrogen as hormone triggers breast cancer in darahpun will increase.
11. Avoid xeno-estrogens.
Xeno-estrogens means estrogen that comes from outside the body. Women taking estrogen from outside the body, especially those from residues of estrogenic hormones contained in meat and residual estrogenic pesitisida. Suspected xeno-estrogens may increase blood estrogen levels that increase the risk of breast cancer.
12. Basking in the sun.
The increasing incidence of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) makes us fear the light sun. But a little sunlight can help prevent breast cancer, because when sun on the skin, the body make vitamin D. Vitamin D helps the breast tissue absorb calcium to reduce the risk of breast cancer. 

13. Do not smoke.
Smoking increases the risk of breast cancer.
