A person similar me who has no prior family history of breast cancer would assume there is only one type unfortunately there are multiple types. Corresponding the article said “they may have different causes and definitely respond differently to treatments.” The two similar types are luminal A and B which engages with tumors, the third type is HER2-postive, which creates too much protein, and lastly basal-like “triple negative” is associated with being the greatest aggressive one of them all. Reading this article actually opened my eyes since normally you would assume that the cause of the cancer would be the reason of death but sadly “Breast cancer in your breast doesn’t kill you; the disease becomes deadly when it spreads to other organs or the bones.” With that in mind who began the 1913 organization today known as the American Cancer Society, which was all about spreading awareness and doing something about that unknown disease. It resulted in the people listening and actually going to their doctors to acquire mammograms moving further with operations to try to fix the issue. With multiple great results in 1985 pink was award “for the cure” and the color pink was placed on numerous types of objects to spread the message that “it symbolized both fear of the disease and hope it can be

According to genetics and social science research there are striking differences between White and minority populations affected with breast cancer in the U.S. These disparities are likely due to a combination of cultural, environmental and genetic factors that differ between the groups. Historically, scientists have separately explored either the genetic or the social/behavioral contributions to cancer. The research team profiled in this case study takes the position that we cannot effectively grasp the complexity of cancer etiology, nor design appropriate

Generally speaking, throughout the United States, Cancer is a public health concern that has a significant impact amongst both men and women. At the same time, Breast Cancer indicates development of a tumor from cells in the breast known as a malignant tumor. Breast Cancer can begin at two different points, either the cells of the lobules, that are milk-producing glands, or the ducts, a channel draining milk from the lobule to the nipple (“What is Breast Cancer,” 2016). Specifically speaking about Breast Cancer among women, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2016), it is the most common cancer, regardless of ethnicity or race. Under those

This research will discuss the benefits of increasing breast cancer screening among women. I am interested in this topic because of my personal experiences with friends who are diagnosed with breast cancer. The more evidence based information that can be provided to women about the benefits of early screening will allow them to make an informed decision. The majority of death that occurs from breast cancer occurs in women who were not screened or did not get screened often (Rosenberg, 2013).

Breast cancer constitutes the second most prevalent cancer most common among women of the world with an estimated 1.62 million reported cases in 2012 which constitutes 25% of all cancer cases and ranks fifth among mortality due to cancer (Ferlay et al., 2015). In the United States, according to American Cancer Society an

Purpose Statement: This speech has a primary goal of educating the audience and to give a better understanding of what breast cancer is and how it can be treated with detection by a vast variety of methods. It will also give better understanding that not only women but men also are susceptible to breast cancer.

Confronted by challenges ranging from high poverty levels, disease outbreaks and devastating natural disasters, the government of Haiti has been working tirelessly with external organizations to support the country’s resilient population. Adding to the range of adverse circumstances already facing the country, Haiti struggles with the growing burden of breast cancer while lacking the health care infrastructure required to identify, diagnose, and treat the disease. Treatment options that do exist are often prohibitively expensive, and care is often fragmented because of the absence of centralized and coordinated health services.

Cancer is where abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy tissue. With each special type of cell through differentiation each cancer is unique like Leukemia and breast cancer.

Most people know at least one person who currently has or has had breast cancer at one point. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers there are, affecting 1 in 8 women at some point in their life time. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of a breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cells that can spread to other parts of the body. Although breast cancer is mostly in women, men can get breast cancer too.

Cancer often goes undiagnosed because the symptoms of it are not obvious. However, breast cancer can be typically diagnosed in the early stages if a person is aware of the symptoms. Many women are able to beat breast cancer because it is often diagnosed while it is still in the early stages. There are more treatment options available for cancers that have not spread. Below is a list of some of the most common breast cancer symptoms:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. In 2008, more than one million women underwent a diagnostic evaluation for suspected breast cancer. Approximately 182,500 women of the more than one million that received an evaluation also received a positive diagnosis (Montgomery, 2010). Risk factors linked to Breast Cancer include: gender, age, family history, prior breast cancer, previous biopsy, race and ethnicity, breast density, and long menstrual history because of prolonged hormonal stimulation. Modifiable related risk factors also include hormone replacement therapy, alcohol, weight, and physical

Cancer is started when the DNA in a cell becomes damaged. The mutated cells caused by the damaged DNA rapidly reproduce which can cause tumors to form. There are two types of tumors, benign tumors and malignant tumors. A benign tumor is non-invasive, and an malignant tumor is invasive. Breast cancer generally will form in the lobules or milk ducts. Lobular carcinoma in situ, also called LCIS, is non-invasive. That means the it forms and stays in the lobules. Lobular carcinoma is invasive. That means that it develops in the lobules and breaks through and has a potential to spread to other parts of the body. Ductal carcinoma in situ is non-invasive. It forms and stays in the milk ducts. Ductal carcinoma is invasive and is when ductal carcinoma

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells grow or multiply without control, the cells can also affect other parts of the body by spreading. There are different types of cancer. They are usually named after the organ or cell they start in. The body is completely made up of cells, and of course we all know that cancer starts in cells, when cells become old they die and new cells are produced. This process sometimes goes wrong and the cell can mutate and affect normal cell growth. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers there is. Breast cancer is

After I read a summary of the show, I felt sad because Joni suffered from chronic pain and stage three breast cancer. She must be so painful and she does not want to live her life with pain every day. First, she complained about God, but later she understood God. I was surprised because she tried to persuade herself that she has a sin. That is why she was not healed. It was a new information that about 75 % of people who left with physical disabled from an accident experienced divorce. However, her husband, Ken, did not give up his marriage life and fell in with her again.

Breast cancer accounts for one third of all new cancer diagnoses in the United States (Cauley, et al., 2007). The first sign in the process of this disease is a lump that forms around the breasts. For this reason, it is necessary to get the yearly mammograms once a woman reaches a certain age. Also, monthly self-examinations can aid in finding breast cancer early. If this condition is found early enough, chances of survival are abundant. Most women who get breast cancer are older than 50 with 86% of the deaths occurring in this age group (Cauley, et al., 2007). Postmenopausal women have a higher risk for breast cancer, because the risk increases when levels of endogenous estradiol rise (Cauley, et al., 2007). Breast cancer is the most common cancer that occurs in women. This epidemic has a higher incidence rate among white women than in African American women, but African American women have a higher mortality rate (Breast Cancer Risk Factors, 2010). White women are more apt to develop this disease than any other ethnicity. However, in women under 45, breast cancer is more common in African American women (Breast Cancer Risk Factors, 2010).
