Radiotherapy After Breast Cancer Surgery
November 25, 2011 | 
Author Wednesday, October 19, 2011, has been published in The Lancet Medical Journal, a study that will benefit radisi therapy significantly reduced the re-emergence of cancer after breast cancer surgery as much as half a chance in the next 10 years and is able to reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer with a ratio of 1:6 in 15 years.
The study, led by Professor Sarah Darby of the Clinical Trial Service Unit at Oxford University, England, this directly also found no significant difference between women who did or who did not receive radiation with a death rate from diseases other than breast cancer, as had presented in an earlier study said that radiation for breast cancer can harm the heart and increase the risk of women dying from a heart attack. This is because the technique has been increasing over the last few years avoiding exposure of the heart and lungs to radiation, so no need for such worries.
This study represents the largest study of the effect of radiotherapy in women who’ve had surgery “breast-conserving” or simply take part without taking the overall breast cancer patients by analyzing clinical trial data involving more than 10,000 women over a period of ten years to 20 years.
Can be seen clearly reduced cancer recurrence in the first year after radiotherapy and lasted for the first decade. After 10 years diagnosed with breast cancer, 35% of women who do not perform radiotherapy will experience reappearance of their cancer will. In contrast to those who underwent radiotherapy only 19% experienced a recurrence.
Quickness of a long time to see the emergence of effects of radiotherapy to death in patients with breast cancer, in 15 years shows that 25% of women who did not receive radiation therapy had died compared with 21% mortality rate in patients receiving radiotherapy. So the bottom line is that radiotherapy did not provide any impact on mortality in patients with breast cancer.

But you know, sex what are the most susceptible to the dangers of cigarette smoke? Apparently, the most disadvantaged women dangers of nicotine cigarettes than men, according to the Dutch Government Statistics Agency data, voor de Statistiek Centraal Bureau (CBS), quoted from the Health page Mad.
According to the statistics that have examined the death rates from lung cancer, the effect of sucking tobacco smoke in women is believed to affect one’s life span. The habit of smoking among women will reduce life expectancy to 11 years, whereas in men for three years.
Still according to agency statistics, this suggests that the negative effect of nicotine is much more serious in women compared to men. However, statistical agencies do not mention the reason for the differences in nicotine’s effects.
The researchers believe, increased cases of lung cancer among Dutch women since the 1970s is directly related to their addiction to tobacco.
Statistics agency says the average woman suffering from lung cancer due to tobacco died at the age of 70 years, but their life expectancy can reach 81 years (without smoking).

Lump that does not mean cancer
Women were most confident would be panic and anxiety if it finds a lump in the breast. The first thought that comes is a variety of terrible things about cancer. Experienced panic reaction is reasonable, although not supposed to be the case. Because the lump in the breast cancer is not necessarily true and even if it turns out the cancer, the medical world has been able to overcome them.
About 80 percent of lumps found in breast cancer it was not malignant. The lump could be a collection of fat, could be a cyst or fluid collection, and benign tumors. Most importantly do not be put off to go to the doctor immediately cancer experts to conduct inspections.
Only by touching it difficult to know what type of lump. Even a once oncologists need to inquire, inter alin with biopsy, to determine whether the cells were malignant or not. Nevertheless, early inspection is very significant because if proven cancer and the lump was small, it is possible to take only part of the breast.
The simplest and most inexpensive way to detect breast cancer early is to examine your own breasts. Examination carried out on day-3 until the 5th after menstruation. Examination after menstruation because, before menstruation, swollen glands, so if it is touched often feels like a lump.
In a standing position or lying down, we can feel with three fingers (index, middle and ring finger) gently into the breast. If you find lumps or wrinkles, the shape is not symmetrical breasts, nipples are interested in, skin changes such as orange peel, enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit, inflammation or discharge from the nipple, should really pay attention and consult a physician.
