In a study of 95,396 women there were 4782 cases of invasive breast cancer during 20 years from 1986 to 2006. Breast cancer risk was lower in women who did more exercise. What Sort of Moderate Activity is Best? Unfortunately at the moment there is no data on the type of exercise that works best to reduce breast cancer risk. “Although greater activity has been related to lower postmenopausal breast cancer risk, important details remain unclear, including type, intensity, and timing of activity.” The researchers did report that 5 hours of brisk walking per week was “sufficient to reduce the risk of breast cancer”. This is within the Governments current guidelines for exercise. The report admits that there are limitations to the accuracy of the information as the subjects of the study carried out a self assessment of their activity levels.

So far only tested on mice, but in the tests all mice given the vaccine did not develop breast cancer. Scientists in America from the Cleveland Clinic Learner Research Institute have published their research in Nature Medicine. They are now planning human trials. There is obviously still a lot of work to be done but the scientists are very optimistic that they can reproduce the results seen in mice in humans. Maybe one day all women will receive a vaccine that will eradicate breast cancer forever. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and over 45,500 women are struck down with the disease each year.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-vaccine-hope-on-the-horizon/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Breast Cancer Self Examination</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:15:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bras]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer screening]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mammography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[self examination]]></category> <category><![CDATA[women's health]]></category> <guid

The purpose is to identify changes in the breast structure, especially lumps. Self examination can only help to detect some forms of breast cancer, there is no guarantee that it will always successfully detect cancerous growth. It is recommended that women over the age of 40 include a mammography in their general medical check up every 1-2 years. How to check your breasts for signs of cancer Stand upright with your upper body exposed in front of a mirror. Start with your hands on your hips while just looking for signs of dimpling, swelling, soreness, or redness. Repeat this visual examination with your arms raised above your head. While still standing, palpate (i.e. examine by touch) your breasts with your fingers, feeling for lumps. Try to use a larger area of your fingers rather than prodding. Feel both the area just beneath the skin and the tissue deeper within. Go over the entire breast while examining. One method is to divide the breast into quadrants and palpate each quadrant carefully. Also examine the “axillary tail” of each breast that extends toward the axilla (armpit). Repeat palpation [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How to Detect and Treat Breast Cancer</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:15:09 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer screening]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mammography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[self examination]]></category> <category><![CDATA[women’s health]]></category> <guid

The breast is composed of a group of glands and ducts protected by a fatty tissue. When cancer occurs the cells start to divide and multiply quickly growing in an abnormal pace. It can start within the mammary glands or ducts and spread to the lymph nodes and the fat tissue around the breast. Although, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer amongst women under 35, only 8,000 women are diagnosed before their menopause, of which 2,000 are in their 20s or 30s, out of 44,000 women diagnosed each year. There are some factors that can increase the risk of a woman developing breast cancer they are as follows: Starting menstruation at a young age, before 12 years old. Late menopause, after 55 years old Being overweight, in particular after the menopause If it is in the family history and/or inherited genes Intake of HRT – only while taking it, the risks are reduced after stopping taking it Regular intake of more than one unit of alcohol every day Having previously had [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
