Cancer Research UK publishes free cancer awareness leaflets to download in PDF format, and provides the CancerHelp UK website - a free information service about cancer and cancer care for people with cancer and their families: information and support for family and friends of cancer patients, who otherwise often have to rely on second-hand information, causing unnecessary worry and fear, where they are not directly involved in caring for the patient and in discussions with healthcare professionals relating to care and treatment. www.eastbourne.gov.uk /Community/Health_Services/cancer_awareness.asp   (419 words)

Breast Cancer At this stage, the cancer may be detected through a breast self-exam, by a clinical breast exam performed by a health care professional, or by mammography. Early stage breast cancer is usually confined to the ducts that transport milk to the nipple during lactation (breast feeding) or to the lobules (small areas of tissue where milk is produced in the breast) and is known as noninvasive cancer. Breast cancer may be divided into three stages, reflecting the extent to which the cancer has spread in the body. www.labtestsonline.org /understanding/conditions/breast.html   (485 words)

Breast cancer Cancer that begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular carcinoma and is more often found in both breasts than are other types of breast cancer. The choice of treatment and prognosis (chance of recovery) depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is in the breast only or has spread to other places in the body), the type of breast cancer, certain characteristics of the cancer cells, and whether the cancer is found in the other breast. Inflammatory breast cancer is an uncommon type of breast cancer in which the breast is warm, red, and swollen. cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk /cancernet/200013.html   (199 words)

Medicine's Best-Kept Secret: The Abortion-Breast Cancer Link In fact, overwhelming published evidence over the past 40 years indicates that it is even worse: In addition to abolishing a full-term pregnancy's protective effect against breast cancer, abortion adds further to a woman's breast cancer risk, leaving it higher than it would have been had she not gotten pregnant at all. If — the theory goes — breast cancer patients are more likely to admit previous abortions, then abortion will appear to be more common among women who got breast cancer than among those who didn't, resulting in an apparent (but artificial) risk increase. If this process is interrupted by abortion (or even live birth) before differentiation takes place, a woman is left with more cancer-vulnerable cells in her breasts than were there before she became pregnant. www.catholiceducation.org /articles/abortion/ab0058.html   (1430 words)

Judge to Rule on Abortion, Breast Cancer Link Montana and Mississippi already require that women seeking an abortion be informed that the procedure could increase their risk of developing breast cancer. Despite such strong words from two such well-regarded sources, the leadership of the conservative public policy group Concerned Women for America remains convinced that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer and the group is actively lobbying for legislation that would support laws asserting the link exists. Polly Newcomb, a researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and an affiliate professor at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, published a study in 2000 that evaluated health-care records of women in the United States rather than relying on patient interviews. www.womensenews.org /article.cfm/dyn/aid/818/context/cover   (1430 words)

Women shouldn't rely on breast self-exams, study says Breast cancer is also not as common in Asian countries, however, which some doctors said meant the results should not be applied to countries such as the United States. Teaching women breast self-examination doesn't appear to reduce the death rate from breast cancer, according to a major study of Chinese women conducted by researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Some clinicians also said the study shouldn't be generalized to the United States because the level of awareness and incidence of breast cancer is lower in China, so women there were likely not as motivated to participate and compliance may not have been high. seattlepi.nwsource.com /local/89436_breast02.shtml   (915 words)
