Recent research about Breast Cancer

Scientists identify high-priority chemicals that may cause breast cancer
Past research has indicated that exposure to some chemicals may increase the risk of breast cancer. Now, a new study published in Environmental Health Perspectives - a journal from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - has identified 17 high-priority chemicals women should avoid in order to reduce such risk and demonstrates how their presence can be detected.

Could red meat consumption increase breast cancer risk?

A study published in BMJ has found that higher red meat intake during early adulthood could a risk factor for developing breast cancer.

Can breast cancer risk be predicted by skin moles?

PLOS Medicine has published studies finding that moles / cutaneous nevi - may be a predictor of breast cancer. The two teams - from the US and France - find that women with a greater number of moles are more at risk of developing breast cancer.

Study links high cholesterol to increased risk of breast cancer :

A new study recently presented at the Frontiers in Cardiovascular Biology meeting in Barcelona, Spain, suggests that women who have high Cholesterol may be at higher risk of developing breast cancer.

Recent use of some oral contraceptives increases breast cancer risk :

Numerous studies have suggested that birth control pills increase the risk of breast cancer. Now, a new study suggests that this increased risk may only apply to recent users and is dependent on the formulation of the pill.

Childhood cancer treatment could increase risk of breast cancer :

In a study published in Cancer, researchers found that patients receiving chest radiation to treat Wilms tumour- a rare form of childhood kidney cancer - had an increased risk of future breast cancer.

Atypical hyperplasia linked to high lifetime risk of breast cancer :

Researchers have long known that atypical hyperplasia - an accumulation of abnormal cells in the ducts or lobules of the breast. - can increase a womans risk of breast cancer. But a new study by researchers from the Mayo Clinic finds that this risk may be higher than previously thought.

    PREFACE

    There are some excellent general reference works in Breast cancer as well as many specialized monographs on particular topics. However, the scarcity of referred books/ textbooks designed for teacher and student to use in the classroom setting that impelled us to produce the first editions of this work. With the continuing expansion of the subject matter, it seemed appropriate to invite others to contribute their expertise to the first edition. All of the authors are, or have been, involved in teaching and research in this area/ course in general breast cancer/ immunity at India and thus have insights into the actual teaching process as well as the subject matter of their areas of specialization. At Utkal University, we continue to teach a course in general breast cancer that is open to post graduate and doctoral students. Our experience leads us to believe that this text is suitable, in the junior or senior year, for postgraduate students/research scholar pharmacy/ medicine with some background in chemistry, biochemistry, and animal physiology. For graduate students it is intended to lay the foundation for subsequent specialized courses in breast cancer, such as those in biochemical and molecular breast cancer, environmental breast cancer, chemical carcinogenesis, and risk assessment. We share the view that an introductory text must present all of the necessary fundamental information to fulfil this purpose, but in as uncomplicated a manner as possible. Clearly, the amount of material, and the detail with which some of it is presented, is more than is needed for the average general breast cancer course/research/field. This, however, will permit each women instructor to select and emphasize those areas that they feel need particular emphasis. The obvious biochemical bias of some chapters is not accidental; rather it is based on the philosophy that progress in breast cancer continues to depend on further understanding of the fundamental basis of toxic action at the cellular and molecular levels. Thanks to all of the authors and to the students and faculty of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Utkal University for much word processing. Particular thanks to the other authors Dr Gitanjali Tripathy and Mr Shaktiprasad Pradhan not least for their patience with missed deadlines and subsequent excuses.

    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    In excess of one million Indian, 2 million Indian and four million Americans are as of now under treatment for disease, with an alternate four million going away, anticipating a repeat of tumor. The general 5-year survival rate of numerous growths, including liver, lung, pancreas, bone, and propelled breast disease, has not expanded in the previous 30 years, after 45 billion dollar used on invention and seven million losses. Today, 42% of Americans can hope to create growth in his or her lifetime, and 24% are required to bite the dust from it. On an overall premise, disease is quick supplanting coronary illness as the most obvious reason for death in grown-ups. The person dignosed may be anyone. Approved medicines are required for some diseases, particularly ahead of time stages. This book is about how to stay alive in the event that you have malignancy.

    This book is composed on the ground that now is the right time for customary specialists to concede that the current medicinal methodology to tumor by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment isn’t sufficient. The current ideal model began 150 years back with the coming of medication based allopathic drug supported by Western researchers. What was viewed as conventional medication (quite a bit of it utilizing regular non-dangerous mixes) then, was cleared rapidly to the side and marked as misrepresentation? For as long as century, doctors have been proceeding the same way of treatment which they know are unrealistic to have much positive effect in the lives of their patients in the greater part of malignancy cases. Maybe this lack of sight needs to do with the dismal reality that doctors rehearsing outside recommended customary conventions can and will keep on going their practice, that blameful huge medication organizations that patron examination can be a huge error, and being named as quacks by their associates is no fun. No big surprise doctors are apprehensive about new methodologies to mending growth. No big surprise patients everywhere throughout the world are moving far from routine helps looking for better choices.

    The uplifting news is that more specialists are tolerating option disease treatment to enlarge routine treatment. I was in almost the same situation a few years again, as a Pharmacology specialist, emulating the institutionalized convention and settled in arrangements set around our regarded medicinal board. It was so much simpler then. To discover that there are deductively sound characteristic choices to disease help is in fact an agonizing and humbling background. This considers spending time not with data from medication organizations and diaries subsidized by medication organizations, however returning to the natural pharmacology and chemistry course books, incalculable hours on Medline like search engines to stay aware of the most recent research, and open examinations with regular arranged social medical experts. At last, I saw the light. The light that routine treatments have fizzled, that deductively based regular non-lethal helps do exist and have existed for quite a long time, and in particular, ought to be utilized as a part of a clinical setting for the profit of our malignancy patients. We require the best of both planets, and it is accessible. My message is basic, run, and lifesaving: disease can be beaten utilizing non-dangerous common mixes and modalities in conjunction with traditional treatment. This book will show the explanation behind this methodology and how to utilize it. Regular drug intake is a viable device against growth. There is no single cure for tumor and none is proposed, traditional or generally. What is accessible is the prudent utilization of numerous common medications and regular mixes cooperating – synergistically – to impact real changes in the tumor process, from control to abatement to a life that is disease free. As it were, you don’t need to turn into a measurement. This book is not an assault on the medicinal calling or routine treatment conventions which have their spot. This book does not guarantee common treatment as a sole substitute. This book does advocate the utilization of common helps as an extra treatment to most routine treatments. To do that, we begin with investigating the current condition of the tumor war and what causes disease from a regular point of view. Before characteristic pharmaceutical can be considered important, its foundational premise must be inspected and investigated. After we are fulfilled by the science behind the idea of regular pharmaceutical, we proceed onward to study, one part at a time, the factors which decide a medication that acts against growth of tumor. When you have completed the book, I trust that you have a superior understanding of our body as it is for sure an extraordinary environment and not just a mechanical gadget as we were taught to accept; that when the biological system is in a broken state, manifestations, for example, disease can emerge; above all, that this biological system can be brought once more to homeostasis commonly with non-dangerous mixes and way of life changes, with coming about inversion of maligna . As you will see, all of us already have cancer cells in our body, but not all of us will end up with cancer in the hospital. In fact, the average adult at age 60 will already have about six bouts of cancer without knowing it, due to the superb job performed by our immune system over the years to keep the cancer in check. When you have a detectable tumor, your goals are clear and specific – how to destroy the trillions of cancer cells that are ravaging your body. The conventional strategy of containment simply does not work due to the sheer number of cancerous cells present and circulating but not detectable by current diagnostic standards. Only by combining traditional strategies of confinement advanced by conventional medicine plus enhancing our body’s immune system, together with an optimized internal terrain with natural medicine that is non-toxic, does. Some of you may think that If it were any good, my doctor would know about it. Yes, your doctor would eventually know. The question is when, and whether you have the time to wait. Dissemination of new information takes decades (likely to be anywhere from 10 to 20 years) and not months in the case of natural medicine.

    Much of the scientific information presented here is years ahead of its time.

    The number of practitioners of natural and nutritional medicine is limited, and those with orthomolecular oncology background even less. What is proposed in this book isn’t the least bit complex or unreasonable. Natural medicine is the true medicine that is time-tested and has been around for centuries. It fact, it is radical only in its common sense approach. What is proposed, however, is simply outside the current paradigm of conventional medicine, despite the overwhelming science behind many of these therapies.

    Now more than ever, we realize that maintaining proper balance is the key to most things in life. Work needs to be balanced with play. Solitude needs to be balanced with social activities. The treatment of choice in most degenerative diseases has now turned from simply reaching a target of any single laboratory test score to a more complete and balanced approach of managing key ratios. For example, achieving an ideal laboratory total cholesterol level alone is hardly the right strategy to reduce cardiovascular risk. The key is the balance of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio. Similarly, it is not the total triglyceride in our blood that is a risk factor, rather the total triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratio. The same applies to the balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, estrogen to progesterone and zinc to copper. The list goes on. A balanced approach is indeed needed in cancer treatment. Taking in the best of both conventional and natural medicine in a complementary and integrated fashion makes the most sense if you want to maximize your lifespan, whether you have cancer or not. of you want to know how to beat cancer with natural medicine, or how to balance the use of natural medicine in the context of conventional therapy to optimize the healing process, this book is for you. If you have cancer but are in remission, you need this book even more as this is precisely the time when natural medicine plays its most profound role, helping to keep the cancer from recurring. If you simply want to know how to prevent cancer naturally, there is no better place to start than here. As the era of the kill or cure approach to conventional cancer therapy draws to a close, the era of natural medicine focusing on biologically supportive therapies is making clear inroads into mainstream oncology. Let us begin the journey of healing.

    WAR ON CANCER

    For the past 50 years, war on cancer has been fought with three tools – surgery (cut), radiation therapy (burn), and chemotherapy (poison). Over the same period, there have been rapid improvements in technology and medical science. One would expect medical treatments and success rates for cancer to improve steadily. But have they? Since 1950, the overall cancer incidence has increased by 44%, with breast cancer and male colon cancer up by 60% and prostate cancer up by 100%. 44% of Americans living today are expected to develop cancer.

    For decades, the 5-year survival rate has remained constant for non-localized breast cancer at 18% and lung cancer at 13%. Grouped together, the average cancer patient has a 50/50 chance of living another 5 years, which are the same problems he or she had in 1971. If one takes a longer view, the numbers become scarier. For example, the overall 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is about 75%, but the extended survival rate (beyond 5 years) is less then 50%. For prostate cancer, the picture is not much brighter, with 5-year survival at about 85%, and 10-year survival at only 35%.

    CANCER – ACCORDING TO HERBAL MEDICINE

    While conventional medicine primarily treats cancer as a principal disease with localized symptoms, naturally oriented physicians think in a different way. Naturopathic physicians think of the body as a closed internal ecosystem, and believe that it is the dysfunction of this ecosystem that is primarily responsible for the development of cancer. No treatment, conventional or otherwise, can completely eliminate all cancer cells according to a naturopathic physician. Presence of numerous cancerous or pro-cancerous cells within the body system develops cancer. It is a phenomenon of profused cell growth affected by the biological conditions of the body. Due to poor nutrition, toxins, lack of oxygen, and other factors like hormonal imbalance are the reasons of non-genetical cancer forms. The proliferation of cancerous cells largely depends on the body’s biological mechanism.

    Naturopathic physicians think cancer as a chronic, systemic and metabolic dysfunction of the genetical constitution. The symptoms of the body dysfunction constitute largely tumors. The cause of cancer thus lies in the progress of growth and metastasis, and not the tissue in which the tumor was first detected. So, the naturopathic physician fights cancer by optimizing the internal body system and enabling the patient’s body system to destroy the tumor. It boosts the patient’s health so that cancer cells cannot grow and multiply.

    Affluence rate

    The herbal therapy has achieved huge successes over the past many years. Elaborative studies have proven them to have an edge over traditional therapies. Some of the examples are listed below. Many of the alternative cancer hospitals are found in India. For example, according to doctors, reported that his 5-year survival rate for prostate cancer is 83% when using herbal treatment compared to 73% for conventional treatment. The reversal rate for stage I and II cancers is 80%. While the 5-year survival for ending stage cancer using traditional therapy is 9% overall, alternative cancer hospitals report that theirs is more than 30%. While 4% of terminal cancer patients show no response to alternative treatments, the other 96% can expect some benefits after a month of treatment. Thus, there is no need of returning back for patients who have bravely embarked on the path of alternative treatments. Clearly, the affluence rate of natural treatment is so much better than for many traditional cancer treatments. If anyone has cancer, he should consider all forms of alternative treatment before deciding on which program to progress. Now a days, combination therapy is going on to be more popular, using both traditional and virtual cancer treatments. This type of therapy is becoming more and more popular as the affluence rates are higher.

    Combining herbal and traditional therapies

    Prosperous results are observed with usage of chemotherapeutic drugs and herbal non-toxic compounds in human and animal studies. The goal in combining both is:

    1. To give a safer and more effective dose to reduce the negative side effects.

    2. To help build healthy cells’ resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and increase drug accumulation in cancer cells.

    3. To increase additive or synergistic cytotoxic effect with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
