ACC. TO INDIAN
COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH (ICMR):
Ø
1 IN 8 WOMEN will be diagnosed with breast
cancer in their lifetime
Breast cancer second leading cause of cancer death. Death
rates from breast cancer have been declining. since about 1989 with larger decreases in women younger
than 50 . Their decrease believed to be the result of earlier detection through
screening and awareness as well as improved treatment.
RISK
FACTOR : Female sex, older age , genetics , lack of childbearing ,
lack of breastfeeding , estrogen
exposure , alcohol consumption , radioactive exposure , obesity .
Smoking increases risk factor of breast cancer -- 35% - 50%.
Lack of physical exercise increases risk -- 1 – 10 %.
MODIFICATION IN lifestyle like: maintaining healthy weight,
drinking less alcohol, being physically active, breastfeeding their child etc. These modifications might prevent: FROM
BREAST CANCER:

28% IN BRAZIL , 20% in CHINA .
WHAT BREAST CANCER LOOKS LIKE
DIAGNOSIS
:-
BREAST EXAM , -X-RAY:
(MAMMOGRAPHY), -2D COMBINED WITH 3D MAMOGRAPHY, BIOPSY, ULTRASOUND
MRI : PROVIDE A USEFUL INDICATION OF A BREAST
TUMORS RESPONSE TO PRE SURGICAL CHEMOTHERAPY
( IN JULY AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SAID THAT WOMEN
SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY
FROM THE AGE OF 40 .)
PET SCAN
CT SCAN

PROGNOSIS
: prognosis and survival rates for
breast cancer vary greatly depending on the cancer type , stage , treatment ,
geographical location.
Survival rate for breast cancer in western world are high
> 8 out of 10 women (84%)
IN developing countries , survival rates are poorer.
