Facts About Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is an incurable disease where breast cells grow out of control in the breast. There are other types of breast cancer diagnosed as well. The type of breast cancer also depends on what cells in the breast turns to cancer. Breast cancer that grows from cells found in other parts of the body generally has a cure but cancer that develop from the breast can not be cured.

Breast Cancer

The risk factors for getting breast cancers are increasing all the time. The risk factors that increase the risk for breast cancer are menopause, obesity, a family history of breast cancer, women who get older before their menstruation period, and women who wear tight-fitting clothes. These factors, alone, do not cause the cancer but when combined with each other increases the risk. It has been shown that women who smoke, consume alcohol and have a family history of cancer are at a much higher risk of developing these cancers. Older women who do not wear their seat belts are also at a greater risk of getting breast cancer because they are more prone to the diseases that can lead to cancer in any part of the body.

DNA mutations become cancerous when they insert on the genes of healthy breast cells. These mutations can occur randomly without any knowledge to the person creating them. When we get these mutations it does not make us a target of breast cancer but we become susceptible to it.

There are many factors that contribute to the development of the DNA mutations that can cause breast cancer. One of the main factors is the imbalance of the DNA mutations that can make any cell abnormal. This imbalance is caused by tumor suppressor genes. These tumors to suppress the growth of the breast cells until there is no more cell left.

Tumor suppressor genes are very important to all the cells that are part of the immune system, especially the cells that help us fight disease. It is normal for the cancer cells to mutate into other forms like the non-cancerous cells. Some of these non-cancerous cells can develop into breast cancer tumors. The breast cancer tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 has been found to be a very common mutation found in most of the breast cancer tumors. The tumor suppressor gene is very important for the breast cancer treatment.

Another factor that makes breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body is the slow rate at which the disease disappears. In fact some breast cancer patients can live with breast cancer for years but then it is possible for them to develop a chronic form of the disease. The chronic form of breast cancer remains active in our body even after the treatment will not be able to kill the cancer cells completely.

If you have a positive family history of ovarian cancer then you can be at a higher risk of developing breast cancer or any other type of cancer. The risk factors associated with ovarian cancer includes the size of the breast, the location of the breast, the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis and your family history of ovarian cancer or any other cancer. Your risk of developing this type of cancer will be higher if you have a positive family history of ovarian cancer. You also need to keep in mind that the risk of developing any other form of cancer is also hereditary. If someone in your family had this disease or you already have it then you are also susceptible. You need to take care of yourself and protect yourself from any cancers that you may get.

One of the ways that you can protect yourself from getting breast or ovarian cancer is to stop the spread of the disease by getting early diagnosis and treatment. You should always visit your doctor when you feel any lump in your breast. They will be able to look at the lump and tell you whether you have any of the forms of cancer cells spread throughout your body or not. You should stop any unnecessary trips to the doctors and use natural treatment instead to keep your body healthy and free from illness.

What Food Allergies Is and How You Can Recognize Them

Food allergies occur when the body's immune system wrongly identifies proteins found in certain foods as a potential threat. Because of this, some chemicals are introduced into the body which result in an allergic reaction. It is these chemicals that ultimately cause the actual symptoms of a food allergy. If left untreated, however, food allergies can lead to severe illness and even death. Peanut and tree nuts are two of the most common food allergies. Many children have a food allergy to either one or both tree nuts and/or peanuts. A severe reaction may take hold if they are exposed to both tree nuts or peanuts at once. Overdosing on peanuts or tree nuts (especially peanuts) can lead to a life threatening high fever. Tree nuts and peanuts are both protein rich and have a long chain of amino acids. They are also both rich in protein and have several essential amino acids necessary for human development. For this reason, they are frequently found in a person's diet. They are als...

Stress Belly And Abdominal Obesity

Stress belly is what many women call the belly fat that shows up during pregnancy. It's often very unattractive and causes discomfort for most women. However, it's not a condition that only affects certain groups of women. In fact, anyone can develop stress belly during pregnancy. This is why so many people are trying to lose weight through diet and exercise, but they still have this belly fat. If you're wondering what causes this, here are some of the main causes. One of the most obvious causes of stress belly is the imbalance of hormones that often comes with major life changes. Some women are born with hormone imbalances that lead to major changes in their body, which is one of the biggest reasons for this condition. And even though stress belly is not a true medical condition, the resulting hormonal imbalances and stress cause serious health problems on the inside and out. If you have any kind of emotional stress, you're going to be at risk for developing some of th...

Allergic Reactions in Dogs

Allergies to dogs, just like allergies to people, can be prevented by keeping your dog clean. A clean house will also reduce the exposure that the dog has to different allergens that can cause an allergic reaction. Different allergens come from different types of foods and other substances that can be found in a home. Some common allergic reactions to dogs include runny nose, nasal congestion, hives, coughing, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, swelling of the face or lips, eyes that tear up easily and headaches. These symptoms are caused by the body's response to foreign materials or allergens. Dogs can get these allergies from a number of different things. Pollens from grasses and trees are the most likely culprits that can cause allergies. Other factors can be exposure to fleas or ticks. If you notice any kind of allergic reaction to a pet, then you should look at the breed of the dog and the common allergens that they are more prone to. You can talk to a veterinarian about the all...

How to Interpret a Stress Strain Curve

In materials and metallurgy, a stress-strain curve in a material provides the mathematical relationship between strain and stress. It's obtained by slowly applying load to an instrument, taking readings of the deformation and calculating the stress. This process is called load cell application. The key to interpreting a stress-strain diagram is to know what the curve means and what it depicts. A stress-strain curve can have many different shapes, but it always follows a decreasing slope or U-shape. The most widely used shapes are the L-shaped curve (also called the isotonic curve) and the curved line. It's very important that you learn and understand these two important shapes. The stress-strain curve shows the relationship between the applied force and the deformed point. This can be thought of as the yield curve or strain yield curve of the particular material being tested. The yield curve is a measure of the energy change due to porosity, where the energy change is graphed a...

Symptoms of Allergies to Pollen

Pollen is one of the most common causes for allergic reactions in humans. When pollen particles are inhaled, the body becomes hypersensitive to them and releases histamine to counteract the effects of the pollen. The symptoms of allergies to pollen include skin rashes, hives, and swelling of the airway. Asthma can also be developed from exposure to pollen. There are other conditions that can be made worse by exposure to certain types of allergens. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe. The symptoms can appear right away or over time, depending on the allergen. If the allergic reaction is delayed, it may not cause any serious side effects. However, if an allergic reaction is treated quickly and appropriately, it can result in the avoidance of further damage to the body and can even result in preventing the development of further allergies. When dealing with symptoms of allergies to pollen, you should identify those factors that you are allergic to and avoid them. Pollen is a ...
