Cancer More Aggressive In Young Age

Cancer More Aggressive In young age. IF you are young and breast cancer, it is better with more intensive treatment. Although it is already showing signs of recovery, do not forget to make the inspection and treatment to complete. The reason, a study showed that women with breast cancer who are under 35 years old are more prone for cancer returning after treatment than women who are older age.





Based on the study, this is caused by the type of treatment (treatment) that is received by the young age of breast cancer patients. According to researchers, the likelihood of cancer recurrence was smaller in women receiving mastectomy and radiation treatment than patients who only received one treatment, mastectomy or breast maintenance therapy alone. This invention is obtained based on the results of a study of 652 patients with breast cancer at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, for more than 30 years. Patients aged 35 years or younger. 197 of the patients received maintenance therapy of breast, 237 patients received mastectomy, and 234 patients with mastectomy and radiation. Overall, bright researchers, figure possibility of recurrence is different in all three groups. Figures possibility of recurrence in patients who did mastectomy and radiation is smaller (15.1%) compared with patients who only do the maintenance treatment of breast (19.8%) and patients who only do a mastectomy alone (24.1%).

Patients with early stage cancer (stage I) also get the same results with maintenance therapy and mastectomy breast. However, to the researchers, the addition of chemotherapy to be more profitable. "While patients with cancer stage II received the best control with therapy mastectomy plus radiation," the researchers write in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, and Physics, as that quoted by FoxNews. com "Recurrence of breast cancer after optimal treatment remains a major problem," said study leader Dr. Beth M. Beadle of the University of Texas. Previous studies have shown, the results of the treatment of breast cancer in younger patients who are always worse than those who developed breast cancer at age who are older. Although the reason has not been

clear, experts suspect this is caused because the cancer is more aggressive in younger women. "Hopefully, our study may help experts oncology therapies for planning the best therapy in breast cancer patients who were younger," said Beadle.

Breast cancer patients typically dominated by women aged over 40 years. But now, the phenomenon is changing. Where many younger patients start developing the disease. This was disclosed Expert Epidemiology dr dr Soeselo Slawi Mulyono Joko Widodo, Wednesday (14/1).

To detect cancer, Joko claimed would buy labotarium tool anatomic pathology. The price of the device around 1.5 billion. Currently, procurement of equipment that is still in process. According to Joko, with the presence of such a device, no cancer patient should be referred to outside the region for anatomical pathology examination.





for anatomical pathology specialists in dr Soeselo already exists. Specialists were not able to work optimally, as a tool to detect cancer do not yet have. In addition, the radiotherapy equipment is also no. That way, when the patient terdekteksi cancer, radiotherapy process referred to Dr Naidoo Semarang. â € ?? We have not had radiotherapy apparatus, since the condition must RS Class A. While dr Soeselo new class B, â € ?? he said
