Breast Cancer Awareness
Arm yourself with knowledge about breast cancer,
and you can help save lives.
By: Christie Bohm Chase, Staff Writer
According to the World Health Organization,
more than 1.2 million people will be diagnosed
with breast cancer this upcoming year. In the
U.S. alone, over 40,970 will die from the dis-
ease. The American Cancer Society estimates
that one in every eight women will develop
invasive breast cancer some time during their
life, so the importance of breast cancer aware-
ness applies to everyone.
Although the incidence of breast cancer has
grown over past years, in the last decade great
strides have been made in treatment and ear-
lier detection, which has caused the death rate
from this type of cancer to decline. All women
are at risk for developing breast cancer, and
although there have been documented cases
in young girls, approximately 77% of breast
cancer cases occur in women over 50 years of
age.
The key to surviving breast cancer is early
detection and treatment. According to the
American Cancer Society, when breast cancer
is confined to the breast, the five-year survival
rate is close to 100%. Beginning at the age of
20, every woman should practice monthly
breast self-exams and begin a routine program
of breast health, including scheduling physician
performed clinical breast exams at least every
three years. Beginning at age 40, all women
should have annual screening mammograms,
receive clinical breast exams each year and
practice breast self-exams every month.
The History of Awareness
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation is credited with bringing the knowl-
edge of breast cancer into wide spread aware-
ness amongst the general public. In 1978,
when Susan Goodman Komen was diagnosed
with breast cancer, little was known about the
disease, and no one openly discussed such a
private matter in public. Before she died at the
age of 36, Susan made her sister Nancy prom-
ise to bring the knowledge of breast cancer to
the forefront of women's health issues. Nancy
kept her promise, establishing the Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982.
The Komen Foundation's mission is to fight
to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening
disease by funding research grants and sup-
porting education, screening and treatment
projects in communities around the world. For
more than 20 years the Komen Foundation has
been fighting breast cancer through aware-
ness, and today the Foundation is larger and
stronger than ever, and has become a house-
hold name. More than 75,000 people volunteer
each year through Komen affiliates to help
spread knowledge about breast cancer.
What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer, like other cancers, occurs
when cells in your body begin growing uncon-
trolled and abnormally. In breast cancer, the
uncontrolled cell growth forms a mass or lump,
known as a tumor. This tumor can either be
benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancer-
ous). Although non-cancerous, benign tumors
are usually removed because they can pose
health risks and spread tumors to other parts of
the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous, and
can invade other organs and ultimately lead to
death.
There is no exact reason why cells begin to
grow abnormally in a breast. The cell mutations
may be genetic or spontaneous. There is no
surefire way to guarantee that you will not
develop cancer. Cells begin growing mutated
long before any symptoms of the disease
appear. Breast screenings can help catch even
the smallest of mutations very early on. That is
why routine screenings are so important for
every woman. The sooner a problem is found,
the better chances are for survival.
Although it is recommended that women
begin routine screening at age 40, if you have
a history of breast cancer in your family it is
important to talk to your doctor about risk and
even earlier screenings.
Treatment for breast cancer has come a
long way because it has become a primary
health issue for women. The Komen
Foundation and others have provided funding
for research and treatment that have aided mil-
lions of women. As a result, most breast cancer
patients now live for at least 10 years after the
diagnosis.
Each women's treatment is unique to her,
but most treatment regimens involve some
combination of radiation therapy, chemother-
apy, surgery and hormone therapy. There are
benefits and risks to each type of treatment. It
is important to consult your doctor and do
ample research on the many options that you
have.
Live Healthy & Happy
We all know that physical activity and
healthy eating are good for our bodies, but did
you know that healthy living may even reduce
your risk for some types of cancer? While lead-
ing a healthy lifestyle will not eliminate your
chances of developing breast cancer or any
other type of cancer, it may reduce your risk,
which is reason enough to get off the couch
and get moving today! Here are a few healthy
living guidelines to get you started:
• Participate in whatever physical activity
you enjoy most. Try to break a sweat
for 30 minutes each day.
• Eat five servings of fruits and vege-
tables a day.
• Eat whole-grain bread and whole-grain
cereal.
• Get the recommended daily serving of
calcium each day.
• Drink less alcohol, it has been linked to
increased breast cancer risk. Drink in
moderation - less than one drink per
day.
•QUIT SMOKING
• Keep yourself emotionally healthy and
stress-free. Do things that you like.
Walk in the park, have coffee with a
friend, catch a movie.
• Keep up your health related check-ups,
appointments and perform breast self-
exams each month.
Support & Resources
For breast cancer victims, it is important to
surround yourself with knowledge and support
from family, friends and others going through
the same disease you are. For the family and
friends of breast cancer victims, support is also
needed. There are many local support groups
in your area, and there is much medical and
emotional support that can be found on the
Internet. Following are a few important web-
sites that are full of information on breast can-
cer, and can help you find support in your time
of need.
