Breast cancer has become a “red-headed killer”
Globally, about 1.2 million women suffer from breast cancer and 500,000 die from it every year. China is one of the countries with the fastest growing incidence of breast cancer, with a 38.4% increase in mortality from breast cancer in urban areas in the decade from 1991 to 2000. In addition to this, about 70% of women in China suffer from a variety of breast diseases. Breast cancer has become the fastest growing cancer in urban areas, and the age of onset is gradually getting younger. Breast cancer has become the world’s number one “red-faced killer”.

With the development of social economy, people’s life style has changed a lot, such as early sexual maturity, late menopause, no childbirth, late childbirth, no breastfeeding, anxiety, bad mood, obesity, high calorie and high fat diet, unhealthy life style, increased intake of exogenous estrogen (certain drugs, health care products, cosmetics) and other life environment factors, so that the incidence of breast cancer is increasing year by year. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing year by year and the age of incidence is getting younger and younger.
Breast cancer should be detected and treated early
1. Healthy people should have annual mammogram and ultrasound examination of their breasts.
2. To prevent breast diseases, early diagnosis of breast enlargement should be made and endocrine regulation should be carried out to cure the enlargement completely. This will reduce the incidence of breast cancer. You should never rely on drugs to stop the pain without regulating endocrine, as this is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, which may eventually lead to cancer.
3. If a mass appears in the breast, it should be examined to determine its nature and be treated by conservative treatment or surgery.
4. Breast cancer should be treated actively. It should not be delayed or tolerated. In particular, breast cancer is a systemic disease from the very beginning. It is important to find a specialist to develop a personalized and comprehensive treatment plan. This will provide the most benefit and the least side effects.
5. Never give up and never give up when breast cancer metastasizes or recurs. As long as there is 1% hope, we should make 100% effort. Because we only have one life to live. Caring for yourself is caring for your family.
Women love their breasts!
