How do pregnancy and HRT influence breast cancer risk?

Pregnancy will decrease your risks of developing breast cancer but HRT will increase the odds. This is because pregnancy reduces the amount of estrogen and progesterone in your body while HRT increases it. The hormones estrogen and progesterone will increase your risks of breast cancer if there is more exposure than necessary.

Is breast cancer a leading cause of death in women?

First answer (I'm not sure that this addresses the question):The treatment here in the US is barbaric. Cut and burn is what they do in the US. Look to go to another country that 'thinks outside' the box in terms of treating breast cancer and you can get your cancer treated and get to keep your breasts too!Second answer:The odds of surviving breast cancer are much better than surviving cancers at most other site locations. Pancreatic cancer victims, for example, have just a 5% chance of survival. However, there are far more breast cancer cases than most other site locations (except prostate cancer), so deciding how deadly it is takes a bit of analysis and a bit of philosophy. Does "deadly" refer to the total number of deaths or to how likely one is to die once they have become afflicted? Each person must decide that individually.The Information Please Almanac's compilation of data from the American Cancer Society, U.S. National Institutes of Health, and National Cancer Institute tells us the 5 year survivability rate for breast cancer in the US is 90% for whites, and 77% for blacks. I'm estimating this means (.87* .9 + .13 * .77 = ) 88% overall. Early detection and treatment is key. In 2007 there were 180,510 estimated new cases of breast cancer about 1% of whom were men. That means that over the next 5 years, if survival rates remain unchanged, approximately 21,661 (12%) of these people will die of the condition.Comparatively, lung cancer has a 15/12% white/black 5 yr survival rate est. 14% overall. In 2007, there were 213,380 new cases of lung cancer. That means 183,506 of these people are likely to die of lung cancer over the next 5 years. That is 8.5 times the number of people that will die of breast cancer and more than the total number of new breast cancer cases surviving or not. But the largest killer is heart disease. Heart disease killed 631,636 persons in 2006 including 315,930 women - more than half of the total and 14.6 times the number of all breast cancer deaths (men & women).So, how deadly is breast cancer? The rest is an individual and philosophical decision. Chances are if you had a family member that died of breast cancer you'll say it is "very" deadly. If you had a family member that died of cancer at another site location or heart disease you're likely to wonder what all the breast cancer hoopla is about.http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0883543.html#axzz12R7XmUYHhttp://www.infoplease.com/us/statistics/leading-causes-death.html


Is stage 3 breast cancer curable?

Cancer is staged by how far away from the primary organ the cancer has gone. For instance, if you have cancer of the lung and it has moved to the brain, the stage rises. Cancer of the lung that stays in the lung is in the 1st stage. All stages can be treated. The 5 year survival rate depends not just on the stage of the cancer, but the type of cancer.

If you have small painful lumps in your breasts around where the wire is placed in bras could this be breast cancer or something else?

Lumps and UnderwireIt may not be breast cancer, but irritation (bruised irritation) from the underwire. Odds are that it is irritation. You may want to put band-aidsor something soft under the wire. Or even get a few different, more comfortable bras.A lump under the breast is always concerning if it is under the skin. Even if it is not breast cancer, it could be an early abscess or fibroadenoma. Make an appointment with you doctor or local comprehensive breast center for any breast lump that is new and non-resolving.Tip:Try using dental wax such as the kind used for braces, retainers, etc. Simply place between the underwire and skin to prevent irritation and pressure.Try sprinkling a little baking soda in the bottom of your bra on a warm day to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria. Always change a bra that has become damp from exercise. Washing bras frequently will discourage germs from growing.If you repeatedly get rashes or redness with a new or specific bra consider that you may have developed an allergy to latex or nickel. See a doctor for symptom relief.If you skin becomes torn, apply Tagaderm to clean dry skin to prevent further damage.
