Find out what to expect during a mammogram and the role it plays in breast cancer detection. Breast cancer health centre Breast cancer: Breast cancer in young women Younger women generally do not consider themselves to be at risk of breast cancer. Only 5.5% of all breast cancer cases occur in women in their 20s and 30s, and 80% occur in women over 50. However, breast cancer can strike at any age, and women of every age should be aware of their personal risk factors for breast cancer. (A risk factor is a condition or behaviour that puts a person at an increased chance of developing a disease.) There are several factors that put a woman at increased risk of developing breast cancer, including: - A personal history of breast cancer or some non-cancerous breast diseases. - A family history of breast cancer, particularly in a mother, daughter or sister. - History of radiotherapy. - Evidence of a specific genetic defect (eg BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation). Women who carry defects on either of these genes have a greater risk of developing breast cancer. Some studies have suggested that use of oral contraceptives (the Pill) results in a very slight increased risk of developing breast whilst a woman takes these. After 10 years of stopping using birth control pills the risk returns to normal levels. What is different about breast cancer in younger women? Diagnosing breast cancer in younger women (under 50 years old) is more difficult because their breast tissue is generally denser than the breast tissue in older women. By the time a lump in a younger woman's breast can be felt, the cancer is often advanced. In addition, breast cancer in younger women may be aggressive and less likely to respond to treatment. Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age are more likely to have a mutated (altered) BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Delays in diagnosing breast cancer also are a problem. Many younger women who have breast cancer ignore the warning signs -- such as a breast lump or unusual discharge -- because they believe they are too young to get breast cancer. Many women assume they are too young to get breast cancer and tend to assume a lump is a harmless cyst or other growth. Some health care providers also dismiss breast lumps in young women as cysts and adopt a "wait and see" approach. Can breast cancer in younger women be prevented? Although breast cancer may not be prevented, early detection and prompt treatment can significantly improve a woman's chances of surviving breast cancer. More than 90% of women whose breast cancer is found in an early stage (stage 1) will survive. When women learn at a young age about the risks and benefits of detecting breast cancer early, they are more likely to follow the recommendations regarding clinical examinations and mammograms. Young women also need to understand their risk factors and be able to discuss breast health with their health care providers. WebMD Medical Reference

Rak dojke je jako učestala bolest koja pogađa mnoge žene svugdje u svijetu. Iako je to učestala bolest kod žena, ne znači da muškarci ne mogu oboljeti. Ipak, nedavna istraživanja provedena na tu temu dala su rezultate da konzumiranje biljnih čajeva može za upola da smanji rizik od razvoja raka dojke kod žena. Riječ je o rezultatima istraživanja koje je trajalo duže od šest godina i koje je sprovedeno na broju od 4400 žena. Na početku istraživanja sve su žene bile zdrave, ali je na kraju kod njih stotinu otkriven rak dojke. Naučnici su analizirali njihove prehrambene navike i otkrili da su one koje su pile biljne čajeve imale za 57% manji rizik od razvoja raka dojke. Biljni čajevi su bogati antioksidansima koji pružaju zaštitu od razvoja zloćudnih stanica te bi stoga mogli imati važnu ulogu u prevenciji raka dojke, zaključili su naučnici. Istraživanje je također pokazalo da ispijanje običnog čaja, kave, voćnih sokova ili vina nije povezano s rizikom od razvoja raka dojke. Više o raku dojke možete pročitati na ovom linku.
