Men get breast cancer 2


Though far less common than in women, it is possible for men to develop breast cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 2,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are diagnosed in men each year and approximately 450 men die from breast cancer annually. Male breast cancers account for approximately 1% of all breast cancer cases.





Breast cancer is a rare disease among men. Many of the risk factors for male breast cancer are the same or similar to the risk factors for breast cancer in women. The survival of men with breast cancer is lower than survival in women but this results from death due to other health problems rather than breast cancer itself.



How common is breast cancer in men?
Breast cancer is a very uncommon disease in men. For the year 2001, it is estimated that 1,500 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a small number relative to the 192,200 women projected to be diagnosed with breast cancer and the 643,000 men projected to be diagnosed with cancer in general. It is also estimated that 400 men will die from this disease; 40,200 women will die from breast cancer in 2001.
While the small number of men with this disease makes it difficult to study, a number of studies have gathered and pooled information on men with breast cancer. Men are not exposed to many of the reproductive risk factors that women are exposed to and study of breast cancer in men may lead to a new understanding of the formation of breast cancer in both sexes.




How is breast cancer in men similar to or different from breast cancer in women?
Most of the risk factors for breast cancer in men are also seen in women. The same types of tumors seen in women are also seen in men. The signs and symptoms of the disease are the same in both sexes and the responses to treatment are similar. There are minor differences. The average age of diagnosis is five to ten years later for men than for women. Survival from breast cancer is similar in men and women (See Does the survival of men with breast cancer compare to the survival of women with breast cancer? below). Also, the number of estrogen receptor containing breast tumors (estrogen receptor positive tumors) in men is higher than in women in general. A real difference may not exist here; a comparison of breast tumors from similar aged men and women reveals little difference in the percentage of tumors that contain estrogen receptors. The presence of estrogen receptors in tumors is important because estrogen receptor containing tumors respond better to treatment

MaleBreastCancerTreatment:
If you have been diagnosed with male breast cancer, it is crucial that you seek treatment quickly. The types of conventional treatments used for male breast cancer are similar to the treatments used for female breast cancer. Remember, your chances of beating male breast cancer are higher if you seek treatment in the early stages of the disease.

Many people are unaware that men can develop breast cancer and thereforeneither individuals nor their doctors regularly examine men’s breasts.

Its Time For That To Change.

alternative cancer treatment


Fact: Did you know that quietly, behind the scenes, millions of
people worldwide have successfully treated cancer since the 1920s
using low cost, natural, alternative cancer treatments? Yes, the 1920s.


An important issue you must know about:

Former president Richard M. Nixon declared war on cancer in the USA in 1971. Since then, almost all of the of the staggering billions spent on cancer research in the USA has gone into finding new and improved versions of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Inexpensive, time tested, natural therapies used successfully for decades around the world remain ignored by the conventional medical system.


Why conventional doctors (MDs) don't use alternative cancer therapies.

In a word, fear. It may surprise you but they can't. The small percentage of MDs who do know about them sincerely wish they could. But, they put themselves or their clinics/hospitals at legal and professional risk unless they use radiation, surgery and drugs - period. Not a happy message here, but this is the way of the world and you must face it. Medical politics at the federal level and state level rules our doctors, NOT their judgment as to what is best for you.
All MDs fear the powerful government regulatory agencies, especially federal bureaus.
The FDA promotes only pharmaceutical drugs and has a decades-long record of not approving, or even looking at, anything alternative. Again, this is the way of the world and you must face it.
Doctors are afraid of expensive, time consuming lawsuits. Their malpractice insurance won't cover them if they use "unapproved" alternatives.
Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.
The FDA may do the same and confiscate patient records and medical equipment.
They may lose their right to visit their patients in hospitals.

Linking breast cancer to everyday items


Linking Breast Cancer To Everyday Items
Could the underarm deodorant you're using be linked to Alzheimer's disease and breast cancer?
Could the mouthwash you use be linked to oral/throat cancer?
Could you be rubbing antifreeze and/or brake fluid all over you and your children without you even knowing it?
What You Don't Know Can Hurt You!
Take a look at the ingredients on the back of those lotions, moisturizers, hair conditioners, wrinkle creams, or baby wipes. Just about everybody has at least one of these five products in their homes. If you check the back of the label of those products just mentioned, most likely you will find an ingredient called Propylene Glycol. Did you know that you can find this same ingredient in the back of a container of prestone antifreeze. That ingredient has been proven to cause kidney and liver damage once it's absorbed into the bloodstream.
Next, take a look in the back of a label of a bottle of shampoo, or a tube of toothpaste. Most likely, you will find something called Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulfate (SLS or SLES) which are found in engine degreasers and garage floor cleaners. Once these lethal ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream, studies have shown that they can cause abnormal development of children eyes, cataracts, and even hair loss! That's something I never knew and really surprised me!
This Information Is Not Meant To Scare You, But To Inform You
This information wasn't given to you to scare you, but to help you make a wise decision about your health and your families as well when it comes to personal care products. Scientists say that long term exposure to ingredients such as Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulfate (SLS or SLES) could start to build up on your liver, kidneys, and many other vital organs and tissues, which could eventually lead to cancer. The government knew that these ingredients were being added to these personal care products and didn't do anything about it.

Hi years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer and lost the fight against it. with all the modern medicine and technology out there, one would figure that we would have a cure already,but the fact of the matter is we do not and breast cancer is still a harsh reality. More than 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year worldwide. Scientists don't know why most women get breast cancer, yet breast cancer is the most frequent tumor found in women.

This is a new year. lets show the 1.5 million people that may be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, that they are not in this fight alone. Lets research for our future, lets learn for others and together we can fight this fight.
To learn more about breast cancer and the fight to prevent breast cancer please visit my website and learn all that you can. I urge you to share all that you have learned with the world and start saving lives.
