Male breast cancer: risk and perceptions of family members

In the other Breast Cancer tribute for the space of a month, we have solutions to the type of cancer, breast, which is rare, but equally dangerous breast cancer – the man.

Men get breast cancer, too. Male breast cancer may be rare, but with men of a relative diagnosed with cancer of the breast with may pose even greater likelihood of similaror illnesses than women with breast cancer-related.Yet, the perception and behavior of a family member diagnosed patients, according to the sex of the family a lot. According to a study by researchers in the multidisciplinary Breast Care Program James Graham Brown Cancer Center.

People with male relatives with cancer breast usually perceive their risk is higher than those with a family history of breast cancer is limited to females. This is in most cases, to the right.Yet, despite this impression, these people are less likely to result in genetic counseling actions, see outside of their genetic, for example, search for, or subjected to predispozice genetic testing.

The results of the studies were based on data from a "person with a first-degree relative 2,429-a parent, sibling or child-with breast cancer. data were divided into two groups – with the earliest male breast cancer is a relative and relative with the earliest women with breast cancer risk from. data about inheriting genetic disease, genetic counseling, and genetic testing are collected and collated between these two groups."

The current numbers according to a study comparing the 2 groups (men vs. women relatively relative) is amended as follows:

The perception of the risk of breast cancer: more than 60% vs. 46% of the area of genetic testing for breast cancer gene mutations: 38.4% vs. more than 50% of the discussion of genetic risk to the health care provider: no vs. 13%

This contradiction between the perceptions of risk and actual actions may be caused by many factors, such as:

Breast cancer in males is relatively rare, accounted for only about 1% of all cases of breast cancer. People are well-informed about breast cancer in genetic testing. Doctors may fail to ask good questions that could reveal important information for patients.

The authors of the study wrote:

"Our findings to speak on the issue of actual Patients in health communication. you must be made aware of the danger that have one or more adult breast cancer doctors should and must be in the adoption of a family history of far and the risk Committee with the patients, which sees.
"Patients should be was educated about their risks and what to look for, and, on the flip should be whether the doctors, due to the complete family history and referring patients for genetic evaluation, if all the red flags.

Can fish oil stop breast cancer in its tracks?

Fish oil has been touted to prevent cardiovascular disease. Now this heart-friendly supplement has another health benefit: lowering the risk for breast cancer. Fish oil supplements contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, substances that are beneficial to heart health and apparently also have some anticancer benefits.

This was revealed in a study conducted by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The study participants consisted of 35,016 postmenopausal women with no family history of breast cancer. The women completed a questionnaire on vitamin use. After 6 years, a total of 880 study participants were diagnosed with breast cancer. The risk of breast cancer was reduced by 32% among those who regularly took fish oil supplements. The protective effects of fish oil seem to be true only for invasive ductal breast cancer, which is the most common form of the disease.

What about other supplements?

Other forms of “specialty supplements” that are used to treat menopausal complaints do not seem to have an effect on cancer risk.

This is the first ever study to report the anti-cancer benefits of fish oil and although the results are promising, and even exciting, experts warn that more studies are needed before they can truly recommend fish oil as preventive measure against breast cancer. Previous studies on fish oil intake obtained inconsistent and inconclusive results.

According to study author Dr. Emily White,

“It may be that the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil supplements is higher than most people would typically get from their diet. Without confirming studies specifically addressing this, we should not draw any conclusions about a causal relationship.”

According to Dr. Edward Giovannucci, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health

“It is very rare that a single study should be used to make a broad recommendation. Over a period of time, as the studies confirm each other, we can start to make recommendations.”

I do not think I would start taking fish oil supplements now but I think this news is comforting for those who are already taking the supplements for heart problems that they might be fighting two monster diseases with just one pill. Or is it too good to be true?

In the meantime, more research studies are being planned and we hope that we will have the answers soon.

Friday cancer news: updates from the breast cancer front

Updates from the Stop Milking Cancer Campaign

The Stop Milking Cancer Campaign ends today, 24 September. Thanks to you, our readers and anti-cancer advocates,  Breast Cancer Action (BCA) attained and even surpassed their targets for this campaign.

If you recall the post a couple of weeks back, Stop Milking Cancer Campaign was launched on September 1 to call on rBGH maker Eli Lilly to stop manufacturing this cancer-causing hormone and break the “cancer profit cycle.”

Here is what BCA has to report about the campaign:

We’re joined by 10 campaign partners, including Corporate Accountability International, Our Bodies Ourselves, Healthy Child Healthy World, and AllergyKids Foundation.We’ve reached our goal of gathering 6,220 signatures on the petition we’ll be sending to Eli Lilly’s leadership – that’s one for every day rBGH has been on the market.BCA plans to plaster our message to Eli Lilly in a very public way – on a billboard in Indianapolis, where Eli Lilly’s headquarters are located.We’ve had a robust presence on blogs, Facebook, and Twitter!

However, just because the target of 6,220 signatures (representing the number of days rBGH has been on the market) has been achieved, that doesn’t mean that we should stop here. The battle is far from over. BCA continues to collect signatures to be forwarded to Eli Lilly. Do your share! Sign up at www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org.

Breast Cancer Research Symposium

This weekend, you can join the Breast Cancer Research Symposium with the theme “From Research to Action: Tools for Change.” The event is for free and is open to everybody at the Oakland Marriott, Oakland, CA, on September 24-25. Topics covered:

•the basic biology of breast cancer

•new diagnostic tools and personalized therapies

•exploring ways to improve delivery of services new tools for researching disparities and their impact on breast cancer risk

•the influence of breast cancer research on statewide and national chemicals policy

•the role of advocacy and community research  in moving the breast cancer field forward

•ways for you to make your mark in the fight against breast cancer

About Breast Cancer Action

BCA is the watchdog that originally coined the term  pinkwashers, companies that claim to care about breast cancer but make or sell products and services  that are linked to the disease. The site www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org  informs consumers about pinkwashers and pinkwashing campaigns. BCA claims it does not receive any donation or any other form of financial support from companies who may be involved in pinkwashing.

BCA is turning 20 this year, “celebrating 20 years of activism on October 7th 2010.” Check out their site for tickets to the big celebration on October 7, 2010 at The City Club, San Francisco, CA.
