Generally speaking, breast cancer is defined in terms of a receptor which reveals specific genes. The three receptors are estrogen, progesterone and Her2. ]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/triple-negative-breast-cancer/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/metastatic-breast-cancer/ http://www.thewordishope.com/metastatic-breast-cancer/#comments Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:33:55 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1285 Secondary breast cancer, also called metastatic breast cancer, occurs when the disease spreads from the breast to elsewhere in the body. Some patients will have their first diagnosis of breast cancer only to discover that it has spread and is in fact metastatic breast cancer.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/metastatic-breast-cancer/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/cancer-of-the-breast/ http://www.thewordishope.com/cancer-of-the-breast/#comments Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:46:21 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1274 There are many types of cancer and breast cancer is one of the most common. Roughly speaking about 1 in 11 women by the age of 75 will be diagnosed with cancer of the breast. It occurs rarely in males – about 1% of all cases - and so is understood to be a female disease. There are many stages of breast cancer, many treatments and many outcomes.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/cancer-of-the-breast/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-survival-2/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-survival-2/#comments Sat, 02 Jan 2010 13:59:32 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1210
It should be stressed that breast cancer is not easy to define. By that I mean that there are various types of breast cancer, various stages of the growth of the disease, various methods of treatment and, of course, various outcomes with some women beating the disease, some living with it for different lengths of time and some succumbing to the disease. But to the question can breast cancer be defeated? the answer is most definitely, yes.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-survival-2/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-research/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-research/#comments Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:14:21 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1193 Hope is an important weapon; some say the best weapon in the fight against breast cancer and for all cancers. And hope can be seen in a tangible form in the field of research. It is happening constantly in places around the globe. There may be wars and disputes which divide people but in cancer research we are untied. Scientists share discoveries and publish papers on breakthroughs.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-research/feed/ 1 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-treatment/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-treatment/#comments Sat, 26 Dec 2009 12:57:23 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1153 It was not so long ago that a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer faced a very limited range of treatment programs. That is no longer the case. Today there are many treatment possibilities and often a patient will have treatment from a number of programs. Many courses of treatment have proved to be greatly beneficial and as tough as the disease might be, there is much to be excited about as regards recovery.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-treatment/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-recurrence/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-recurrence/#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:44:44 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1140 It is a very difficult time when a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer [not forgetting that men can be diagnosed with the disease albeit very rarely] but even worse when she has seemingly defeated the cancer only to discover it has returned. When it does recur it is mostly in the timeframe of three to five years after the all-clear. Women with breast cancer will be aware that the all-clear is only for the present and there is always the possibility the cancer will re-appear. Know too that breast cancer can recur in the breast or elsewhere in the body.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-recurrence/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-prevention/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-prevention/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:34:08 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1129
Breast cancer is still a dreaded thought to many women. Most women know someone or certainly have heard of someone who has been diagnosed. There are many stories of women who have beaten the disease and, sadly, some who have succumbed. The good news is that research is continuing in trying to find a cure for all cancers including breast cancer. And there are new ways to treat the disease.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-prevention/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-symptoms/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-symptoms/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:08:57 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=1017
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. The disease can occur in men although breast cancer in males is only a tiny proportion of all who are diagnosed – approximately 1%. As a matter of interest, breast cancer in women has been, in recent years, on the increase and why this is so is a matter of debate. ]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-symptoms/feed/ 0 http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-detection-device-the-miracles-of-technology/ http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-detection-device-the-miracles-of-technology/#comments Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:10:04 +0000 admin http://www.thewordishope.com/?p=884 Just imagine a device based on hormone testing technique that is portal. Sounds like something from a science fiction move.. Canadian researchers developed a technique that can analyze samples of blood and some breast tissue and detect breast cancer much more quickly than ever before.]]> http://www.thewordishope.com/breast-cancer-detection-device-the-miracles-of-technology/feed/ 0
