Breast cancer early diagnistic
Breast cancer is one of the most important diseases in women, not only because of the high frequency and severity, but also because of the special relationship of women to the mammary glands, even in the absence of any disease. The main biological function of the glands - milk production (lactation) for feeding a newborn child. Mammary glands - also an important "component" images of female body, and has great social significance as a symbol of motherhood, femininity and sexual attractiveness.
Numerous publications in newspapers, magazines, and discuss the issue on television and radio, many women unaware of breast cancer. However, much of the female population "not aware of basic facts related to breast cancer: how often and why it occurs, what are the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer, what treatment methods are used and how well they work.
Any forms of breast cancer (and their more than 30 species) can occur at half the female population (ie, every second woman over 30 years). Fortunately, the vast majority of them are benign and do not threaten health. Malignant tumors (including breast cancer) are ten times less, but still are the leading cancer among women older than 40 years.
Suffice it to say that in the world each year more than 1 million new cases of breast cancer, but in Russia - over 50 thousand on the life of one of eight United States residents ill breast cancer. In our country, these statistics will be preferable: for example, only one of 17 residents of St. Petersburg diagnose breast cancer at an average life expectancy of more than 70 years. And yet, this is a high level of morbidity.
Actually the last quarter of XX century. characterized by a change in the structure of disease-related, on the one hand, obviously with the increase in life (mainly in the developed countries of Europe and America) and on the other - with the advances in prevention and treatment of infections. At the forefront of causes of death came cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases, more common in older people and associated with the emergence of their exchange and endocrine disorders.
Along with the actual increase of the frequency of breast cancer, lung, there was a clear decline in the number of newly registered patients with gastric cancer, esophagus, cervix. According to calculations, one can not expect a permanent, uninterrupted and unlimited increase in morbidity in the long run. It is only the growth of some diseases and a significant decrease compared with the share of others.
The maximum levels of performance in the U.S., New Zealand, Canada, Western Europe, the minimum - in Japan. The most dramatic contrast to the incidence of breast cancer when comparing the indicators in the U.S. and Japan - 6:1, respectively. Many of the FSU and breast cancer have been widely circulated over the years. The low level of disease observed in the Central Asian Republics and Kazakhstan, the high - - at the Baltic, St. Petersburg, Moscow and Ukraine at the INE, the North Caucasus, in Georgia and Armenia.
Interestingly, among Japanese women born in the United States and Hawaii, cancer of the breast and uterus is found in the 5 - - 6 times greater than among the indigenous inhabitants of Japan. This suggests that, in addition to hereditary and constitutional features in the incidence of breast cancer have a certain influence of environmental factors, in particular, especially the food.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) each year worldwide is revealed about 1 million new cases of breast cancer. The number of dying from the disease is approximately one half of the total number of cases. Mortality from breast cancer could be much lower if all countries were carried out mass preventive screening for the purpose of early breast cancer detection.
Evaluation of the demonstration program of screening, based largely on the application rentgenomammografii showed that mortality from breast cancer among women who participated in the screening, was 30% -50% lower compared with groups of women, which was not carried out the prevention of breast cancer. Countries where at the state level for many years conducted nationwide screening program, which includes in addition to teaching women how to rentgenomammografiey self, medical breast examination (inspection, palpation), characterized by steady decline in mortality from breast cancer.
In most regions still continues to increase the incidence of breast cancer as the incidence or mortality from breast cancer because of insufficient coverage of modern preventive care. The lives of tens of thousands of women would have been saved if they had been involved in preventive care.
