Half of breast cancer patients were "cut" is very wrong

For patients with breast cancer in Guangdong wide resection up to 80%, while European and American developed countries, total removal of the breast in breast cancer patients compared to just 30%. The reporter learned from the recent Medical Association at the breast disease in Guangdong Province credits will be "the first workshop in Guangdong breast disease," was informed that early detection is low and over-treatment, is the cause of all breast cancer patients with a high proportion of the main reasons for resection.

Chance of early detection of breast conserving

"In fact, breast cancer should not blindly across the board, about five or so of patients into the breast could have been retained," head of the South Hospital Breast Center, said Professor Ye Changsheng, some patients fear of cancer cells, offering to cut milk, making some that would have preserved the breast eventually be "injustice" to cut off. Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen, director Professor Su Fengxi breast cancer that case found that the time from the point of view, the more the early detection of breast cancer patients the greater the chance of breast conservation. In addition, few medical professionals, treatment not up to standard, but also led to some patients being "wronged" a reason for mastectomy.

"If you can find when the carcinoma in situ lesions, breast cancer can be nearly 100% cure rate," said Ye Changsheng, breast cancer is advocated by the World Health Organization survey significantly longer survival of the two cancers, such as early detection not only the majority can be cured, but without removal of the breast. "In developed countries, because it was discovered early and with more advanced technology, 70% of patients can be implemented breast-conserving surgery."

There are two peaks of Chinese breast cancer

The current incidence rates of breast cancer increased by about 3% per year, is the fastest growing in recent years the incidence of one of the two tumors, and even in some areas has become the first female malignancy. In addition, the incidence of urban women was significantly higher than in rural areas, the majority of female patients with high-income white-collar workers, including Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, 10 million people, about 60 breast cancer patients.

"Chinese breast cancer there are two peaks, one at 60 years old, the other at about 40 to 45 years old, while the incidence of breast cancer is only 60 years abroad, about which a peak", the experts believe that China economic and social development at this stage, and the pressure on women themselves and others have related.

Favorable opportunity to reduce the risk of breast cancer

Experts analyzed that city women married late, late childbirth, breastfeeding less, work pressure, endocrine system instability, may increase the chance of women suffering from breast cancer. "Research shows that more than one year if they can persist in breast-feeding, especially the year and a half to two years, can largely reduce the chance of breast cancer," while the age of menarche and breast cancer incidence a certain relationship, "the earlier menstruation, late menopause more women, the greater the chance of breast cancer."

In addition, eat junk food, the use of cosmetics and other hormone products, and environmental factors in ionizing radiation, may increase the risk of breast cancer.
