10 Bad Habits Cause Cancer



10 Bad Habits Cause Cancer
Cancer is a disease most at risk of causing the death of the second in the world. In the year 
 2015 the number of deaths due to cancer reached 8.8 million.

There are some habits that can cause cancer. For example bad habits, weight, food that is 
 less healthy, less physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption excess.

The following bad habits that can cause cancer.

1. Air freshener
Air freshener is often used to overcome the smell of the room which is not good. However, 
 the air freshener is not to improve the quality of the air in the room.

On the contrary, air fresheners contain harmful substances that cause cancer. These harmful  
substances will go into the nose when sprayed into the room.

2. Alcoholic beverages
Consuming alcoholic beverages has been shown to increase the risk of cancer. A study noted  
to consume alcoholic drinks two times in a day can increase the risk of cancer of the  
esophagus, colon cancer, rectal cancer and breast cancer.

3. Birth control pills
Birth control pills, consumed to prevent pregnancy. Taking birth control pills can increase 
the


risk of breast cancer cauces also cancer of the cervix and liver.

4. Candles
A study says that the smoke from paraffin candles contain carcinogens and components of  
other fossil fuels. To replace the use of paraffin wax should use pure beeswax as it is not  
harmful for the body.

5. Smoking car
People are more often exposed to the smoke from the diesel fuel will have health problems. 
 Smoke from cars can cause lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. Diesel and gasoline  
releases carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons that are toxic.

6. Cosmetic
Women often use makeup to improve the appearance. But the chemicals contained in  
cosmetics will remain in the body even if already clean face. We recommend that you use  
cosmetics with organic ingredients to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

7. Food that is burned
Fish, chicken, or other food that is processed with fire will cause some parts to be scorched. 
 Although it has a delicious flavor, the food is burned can increase the risk of cancer of the  
stomach, colon and pancreas.

8. Canned food
A container of metal materials are used to package foods contain harmful chemicals.  
Consume canned food will cause certain causes hormone disruption and changes in DNA


which result in cancer of the breast.

9. Diet Soda
Diet soda contains artificial sweeteners which can increase the prostate cancer cause and  
other types of cancer. Some research has also shown that diet soda can cause bladder cancer  
and tumors of the brain.

10. Sunscreen
Most people use sunscreen or sunblock to prevent skin problems. But the sunscreen contains 
 ingredients called zinc oxide which produce free radicals that can cause DNA damage and  
trigger the growth of cancer.

Can Use Herbal Medicine When Treating Cancer?

Herbal remedies for cancer are usually made from herbs. Can from the leaves, flowers, stems  
roots, fruit, or seeds. Then these ingredients are processed and packaged in the form of  
capsules, tablets, oils, ointments, or drink in tea form. But whether the drug made of natural  
materials is definitely safe to be consumed especially for You who have cancer remedies? 
This  is the answer.

Some people believe, taking herbs can cure himself of the disease of cancer because the drug  
is often called contains antioxidants and useful substances to heal the cells. In fact, as quoted  
from the website Cancer Research the use of medicinal herbs as replacement drugs for cancer  
until now, this has not been proven scientifically.

Remedies of Cancer that is currently known in the medical world just surgery, radiotherapy,  
and chemotherapy. Need more research to be able to make herbal remedies for this cancer to  
be a medical therapy that is recognized by the world wide.


In fact herbal medicines on the market only serves as a promotive (to maintain the health and  
fitness of the body), preventive (prevent the disease), curative (treatment companion), and  
rehabilitation (to be recover).

According to Cancer Research in the Uk, 10 from the people who have the disease of cancer 6 
 or about 60 percent of whom use herbal remedies for cancer along with medical treatment. 
So,  if You want to use herbal remedies for cancer, make sure You always consult it with 
doctor,  after consultation, You will know the answer to that is herbal remedies for cancer that 
You  choose may or may not consume.

Why is it important to consult with a doctor? Because any kind of herbal cancer remedies 
most  likely have side effects You don't know. There are safe for You to use and some are not. 
Some  are even very risky as reported by Medical News Today.

You have to remember that up to this time, the use of herbal medicine just as a supporting  
therapy, not the primary therapy in the treatment of cancer. So You still have to undergo the  
main treatment for cancer such as surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Some natural ingredients used as herbal remedies are indeed safe to be consumed. Although  
safe, the herbal medicines could potentially cause side effects both mild and serious on the  
body. Side effects it's also printed on the packaging. In order to avoid danger, here are tips-tips 
 for safe eating of herbal medicine.


1. Be sure to buy products that have been registered in BPOM RI. You can check on the  
page BPOM http://cekbpom.pom.go.id/. It's easy, You just type the information that is  
on the drug, for example registration number, product name, or brand of herbal  
medicine that You want to know.

2. Don't forget to check the expiration date of the product.
3. Follow all instructions for use and dosage listed on the packaging.
4. Contact customer service the product if You want to know more about their products.
5. Before consuming, make sure You consult first to the doctor.

Medicinal herbs can not be consumed by all people. There are some people who should be  
careful or avoid the group of herbal medicines. Don't just consume any herbal remedy,  
especially if the goal for the treatment. You should consult to the doctor if you want to insert  
any substance into the body.

Know the Symptoms of the Cancer Quickly
Any people assume that cancer is a type of disease that is deadly for both men and women,  

not a few people who was stricken with cancer and then lost the spirit of his life. How not, the 
 data shows that in developed countries the classmate of the United States (U.S.) course who  
already have medical equipment super advanced though, the Symptoms of the Cancer  
becomes the cause of death of number two after heart disease.

There are a lot of types of cancer with different causes-different in every person, a variety of  
research to know the symptoms, types and how to treatment is continuously performed until


now. No less than hundreds of billions of dollars that have been issued to finance the research  
since the mid-1970s. However, the keen research done coupled with increasingly 
sophisticated  medical equipment to treat it, it turns out is directly proportional with the 
development of the  type and complexity of the disease of cancer itself.

Cancer patients often do not know if he was stricken with cancer, whereas cancer symptoms  
are quite easily observed. The Cancer Symptoms can be seen from the easiest to the slightly  
more complicated, the symptoms of a cancer that is easily observed is certainly easy to be 
seen  by the naked eye such as that found on the surface of the skin.

While more complicated if the symptoms of the cancer was contained in the body, so that the  
necessary follow-up investigation to ascertain whether the symptoms do indeed lead to cancer. 
 Cancer is a disease that very many of its kind, there are more than 200 types of cancer that 
each  have the symptoms themselves. Of course this is very inconvenient if you have to 
recognize it  one by one.

But most don't, at least You should understand some of the symptoms of cancer so they can be 
 aware if these symptoms happen to You or the people around You. Hopefully, the early  
detection of cancer can be done so quickly can be treated. In simple terms, cancer symptoms  
can be divided into two, namely the symptoms of a cancer that can be seen and the symptoms  
of cancer are difficult to see.

Cancer symptoms that are easy to see

The symptoms of the cancer that is easily seen is that arise on the surface or the symptoms are 
 easily perceived. For example on the symptoms of breast cancer, will appear a lump in the  
breast. Obviously this is easily seen and felt, therefore, always check the body parts that are  
prone to attacked cancer is very important so that early symptoms of cancer is quickly 
detected.


The symptoms of the cancer which is also easily seen such as when the discharge of blood in  
the urine, this is usually associated with the symptoms of cancer in the organs producing 
urine.  As is the case also if a person is experiencing coughing up blood, is very likely a 
symptom of  lung cancer.

Examples of the symptoms of other cancers that are easily seen such as when a person is  
difficult to swallow something, so this could be a symptom of esophageal cancer. Similarly, if  
there is a change of the skin which is striking, this may be a symptom of skin cancer.  
Symptoms-the symptoms of other cancers that are easily observed such as when the urination  
is not smooth, maybe this is a symptom of prostate cancer.

The symptoms of the cancer that is not easily seen

While the symptoms of the cancer that is not easily seen usually associated with organs in the  
human body, for example if there is bleeding in the rectum. This may be an indication or  
symptom of cancer of the large intestine that befall a lot of parents.

Examples of cancer symptoms that are also not easily seen if preceded by the other pain. For  
example, a person suffering from anemia or malnutrition may actually is suffering from colon  
cancer. Cancer symptoms are not easy to recognize because it is very possible the sufferer just  
think of it as an ordinary disease, in fact, it is only a symptom or indication of the beginning  
and behind it stored a more dangerous disease that is cancer.


The symptoms of the cancer are kind of similar such as anemia and iron deficiency this is  
weight loss and loss of appetite, good weight loss and loss of appetite is actually easy  
recognizable, but in general people will be a lot of shrugged it off and just think of it as a  
regular thing. In fact, if not watch out for who know precisely it is an early symptom of 
cancer.

For that, it is important to immediately see if you see the symptoms of cancer in the top of the 
 perch in Your body, examination of early cancer followed by cancer treatment quickly can 
save  someone's soul.

Prostate Cancer Symptoms and Treatment
For patients with prostate cancer, it might be confusing in choosing the procedure best 
Prostate  Cancer treatment that can be done. Every treatment has risks and also benefits of 
each. The  treatment of prostate cancer depends on several factors:

 The stage of the cancer
 The size of the cancer
 Age and life expectancy of the patient
 How extensive the spread of cancer has occurred
 The health condition of the patient

For patients with prostate cancer in the early stages, they can choose to wait and monitor the  
development of cancer. There are some cases of prostate cancer that requires no treatment at  
all, and this needs to be considered because there are side effects of treatment are quite  
significant.


If you choose to keep an eye on prostate cancer, then during the period of supervision,  
additional information can be collected to help determine the appropriate treatment.

The supervision of the prostate this may require You to undergo the PSA test and also a 
biopsy  procedure on a regular basis. This is done to ensure as early as possible whether there 
is a  growth of cancer cells. A series of procedures is done to determine the treatment in 
accordance  with the stages of cancer, especially when prostate cancer has spread out of the 
prostate gland.

Here are some ways of handling prostate cancer are  
recommended:
Surgery For Prostate Cancer

Here are some of the ways and also the surgery procedures that can be done to overcome  
prostate cancer.

TURP or trans-urethral resection

TURP is a surgical procedure in cutting part of the prostate gland. TURP is done by way of  
general anesthesia or anesthesia of the spine, so You do not feel pain during the surgery 
lasted.  The goal of surgery is to relieve or eliminate the Prostate Cancer symptoms of 
urination is  impaired due to prostate cancer

The surgeon will insert the iron wire with a circular section on the end into the urethra 
towards  the prostate. The electric current used to heat the circular section which serves to cut 
the  prostate cancer.

Radical prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the prostate gland and surrounding  
tissue. Radical prostatectomy can cure prostate cancer in men if the cancer has not spread out  
of the prostate gland. But there is a small chance that not all cancer cells can be lifted. There is 
 a possibility of cancer cells will return after the operation.

Some of the potential complications of the procedure of radical prostatectomy are:

 Urinary incontinence, i.e. inability to control urination.
 Erectile dysfunction. Better known by the term impotence. The inability to achieve 

and  maintain an erection.
 Can no longer ejaculate so that can't have children through intercourse.

Kryoterapi

Kryoterapi sometimes performed to treat cancer of the prostate early stages. However, most  
doctors will not choose this handling as the initial step of treatment.

In this procedure, the doctor will use a gust of very cold temperatures to freeze and kill 
prostate  cancer cells. Some of the side effects of this action are:


 Most patients will experience blood mixed in the urine during a day up to two days 
after  the action kryoterapi.

 Kryoterapi effect on the anus and bladder, which makes the appearance of the pain, the 
 pain, and the frequent urge to urinate.

 Erectile dysfunction or impotence, because kryoterapi risk damaging the nerves 
around  the prostate that control erection.

 Difficulty to control urination.

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy uses radiation energy to kill cancer cells in cases where the cancer has not 
spread  out of the prostate. Radiotherapy can also be used after surgery to kill cancer cells 
remaining.  In addition, radiotherapy is also done to relieve symptoms Prostate Cancer or the 
pain and  slow down the rate of development of cancer in cases of cancer.

The patient does not need to undergo hospitalization for the procedure of radiotherapy. Here  
are some of the side effects of radiotherapy in prostate cancer:

 Pubic hair loss
 Feel fatigue
 Feel uncomfortable around the anus and rectum
 Inflammation of the bladder
 The inability to an erection
 Urinary incontinence
 Problems with bowel movements, such as diaredan bleeding

Chemotherapy

On these measures, patients will be prescribed anti-cancer drugs by a doctor. This action is  
very appropriate if the condition of the cancer has spread to organs outside the prostate gland.  
Some of the side effects of chemotherapy are:

 Hair loss.
 Thrush.
 Nausea and vomiting.
 Diarrhea.
 The increased risk of infection, due to reduced number of white blood cells.
 Easy bruising or bleeding.
 Fatigue.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy is usually combined with the procedure of radiotherapy. Hormone therapy is 
 conducted before radiotherapy aims to improve the success of Prostate Cancer treatment.  
While the hormone therapy that is given after radiotherapy is intended to reduce the 
possibility  of the return of cancer cells.

In addition to the functions above, hormone therapy can also be used to slow the progression  
of prostate cancer late-stage and relieve symptoms or the pain that appears.


Side effects of hormone therapy on prostate cancer are:

 Loss of sexual arousal
 Erectile dysfunction or impotence
 Weight gain
 Swelling of the chest
 Hot flush or the condition in which the body suddenly felt hot, which could cause  

sweating in excess and body chills.
 Sweating

Steroid tablets can be used if hormone therapy is no longer successful because the cancer is  
resistant to hormone. Steroids can be used to shrink tumors and inhibit tumor growth.

Cancer Vaccination

The doctor could give a cancer vaccine for patients with prostate cancer. Cancer vaccines 
work  by encouraging the immune system to attack prostate cancer cells.

Cancer vaccine for each patient can be different, because the vaccine is made based on the  
white blood cells of the patient. However, these vaccines are consumed instead to prevent  
developing cancer, but prolongs life patients several months.

Treatment on the bone

If prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, then most likely it will spread to the bone  
first. Spread to the bone will make sufferers feel pain, occur bone fractures, or calcium levels  
in the blood.


This action aims to prevent or slow the spread of cancer to the bone. There are several steps  
commonly performed the doctor for the procedure the treatment of Prostate Cancer on the  
part of the bone, namely:

 Give drugs such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, to inhibit the spread of cancer.
 Administration of corticosteroids or pain medication to relieve pain in the bones.
 External radiation therapy that serves to relieve pain of the bones.
 A radioactive drug. This is a drug that contains a radioactive element that is used to 

kill  cancer cells.

Treat Late-Stage Cancer

If prostate cancer has already entered the final stage, then the condition is no longer curable.  
The treatment is carried out only to slow the progression, extend life, and relieve symptoms.

To cope with prostate cancer end stage, treatment that can be done is radiotherapy, hormone  
therapy, chemotherapy.

Researchers Find Cancer Remedies to kill 
 Cancer Cells

As it turns out, scorpion venom can indeed be beneficial for the medical world so valued that  
expensive.

Although known to be very dangerous, scorpion venom it has protein chain facilities 
(  chlorotoxin ). Site askabiologist.asu.edu call this protein is able to stop and turn off the cell.  
The special ability is developed the scientists to kill cancer cells and can be one optional for  
natural cancer remedies.


Meanwhile, Dr. Jim Olson of Seattle Children's Hospital and Fred Hutchinson Cancer 
Research  Center, Seattle, Usa, called protein in scorpion venom can paralyze cancer cells that 
attack the  brain. Content in in scorpion venom called could be the solution to penetrate the 
membrane  around blood vessels of the brain safely.

That is, these proteins not only bind to and knock out cancer cells, but also cancer cells that  
radiant so as to facilitate the surgeon to lift it completely.

Of about 2,000 species of scorpions worldwide, only 30's that has a poison strong enough to  
kill a human. However, scorpions are very dangerous such as Chinese golden scorpion, blue  
scorpion, Israeli scorpion, the deathstalker scorpion is precisely that used as the object of  
medical research. Special to the blue scorpion, a scorpion is a most malignant is considered as 
 the most potential to be a drug.

Figure of medical find the fact that scorpion venom can be used as a cancer drug is Demetrio  
Rodriguez Fajardo. Men of Mexican origin, this even finding this amazing fact when she was  
17 years old. Now, at just 21 years of age, Demetrio still be a doctoral student at the  
Universidad de Guadalajara and his findings even already getting recognition from the Food  
and Drug Supervisory Agency of the United States (FDA) to be used as a breast cancer  
remedies.


Now, more and more researchers who developed scorpion venom to be used as cancer  
remedies other diseases such as heart failure and various types of cancer other deadly.

See how large the benefits from scorpion venom, can be understood right why the price can 
be  very expensive?

Symptoms and signs of Breast Cancer Can Still be Cured
Breast cancer has become one of the main causes of the high number of deaths in women. In  

2015, data from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that there have been 507  
thousand women died due to breast cancer. It is scary, but actually if the traits of early-stage  
breast cancer can be detected, it is not likely this disease can be cured. Therefore, it is 
important  for You to know the traits of early breast cancer signs and symptoms as early as 
possible.


Refer to the explanation for the development of breast cancer by stage as well as the signs 
and  traits of breast cancer below.

The development of breast cancer stage one up.

If seen from the development of cancer cells, breast cancer can be divided into several stages, 
 namely:

Breast cancer stage zero

When this stage occurs, the cancer cells already there and growing. But its development is 
still  only in the ducts of the breast. Has not spread at all.

Breast cancer stage one

Breast cancer stage one still get early-stage breast cancer. The characteristics of breast cancer  
in this stage is the cancer cells have started growing and enlarged in the breast that become a  
place of growth. However, the cancer cells have not spread and the size is not more than 5 cm.

Breast cancer stage two

At this stage, cancer cells can develop and grow in several ways. On the breast cancer stage  
IIA, the size of the mass of cancer less than 2 cm but has spread to lymph nodes in the armpit.


While on the breast cancer stage IIB, the mass of cancer has been more than 5 cm but cancer  
cells have not spread to the glands under the armpit.

Breast cancer stage three

If someone has already entered this stage, it is definitely a cancer cells are able to spread. 
Stage  IIIA is a condition where cancer cells have spread to the tissues of the body.

While the stage IIIB cancer cell growth has reached to the surface of the skin and lymph 
nodes  in the breast.

Breast cancer stage four

Treatment breast cancer stage four is the development of increasingly fast and increasingly  
widened to the other organs.

Signs and traits of breast cancer

The early symptoms and signs breast cancer is recognized, then the easier the cancer cells is  
removed from the body. Cancer cells stage zero, usually do not show signs or traits of any 
kind.  However, You can already recognize the characteristic features of breast cancer stage 
one.

The characteristics of breast cancer the most common is the appearance of lumps in the breast. 
 Unfortunately, not only cancer be the only abnormality in the breast that can be detected by 
the  presence or absence of lumps. This is because a lump in the breast can be triggered by 
hormonal  changes in teens to damaged fat tissue. Then, what are the characteristics of the 
cancerous lump  breast?

Generally, the characteristics of the lumps of breast cancer will be seen to have a hard texture  
with unclear boundaries and its surface is uneven. Bump also continue to settle 8 to 10 days  
after menstruation. If the lump close to the nipple, it will be seen that the nipples are 
interested  in, and somewhat hard-driven (sticky).


In addition to the appearance of bumps, signs and traits of early-stage breast cancer that You  
can recognize is:

1. Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast.
2. Change the shape of the breast nipple.

3. Pain in the breast that does not go away, even when You have already entered 
into a  period the next month. Even so, some women are also there who do not 
experience pain  or soreness in her breasts.

4. Nipples secrete a clear liquid, brown, or yellow.
5. The nipple suddenly reddened and swollen without known cause.
6. Swelling around the armpit due to enlarged lymph nodes in the area.
7. Veins visible on the breast, as a result the veins in the part of the breast is clearly 

visible.

8. At an advanced stage began to seem the presence of abnormalities in the 
breast skin  (like an orange peel or the skin becomes reddish), sometimes the skin is 
also so curved  like dimples because they are attracted by the lump.

If You experience or suspect any of the signs and symptoms and characteristics of early-stage  
breast cancer as has been mentioned above, you should immediately consult to the doctor.

This is done so that You get the right treatment according to Your condition. With  
responsiveness to the traits of early-stage breast cancer, then Your chances to recover from 
this  disease is also greater.

The various causes of breast cancer


Actually until now researchers still can not know for sure what causes breast cancer.

Like other cancers, breast cancer is a condition when certain cells grow abnormally and can  
not be controlled. Over time, these cancer cells will attack the tissues of the breast healthy  
nearby, and eventually spread to the entire body.

Further, researchers have successfully found some genes which if mutated, would be  
potentially against the development of breast cancer. Gene mutations are cancer gene 1  
(BRCA1) and cancer gene 2 (BRCA2).

The second gene is found in approximately 10 percent of the population of patients with 
breast  cancer. Even so, even with the presence of gene mutations, experts still can not 
establish the  cause of the biochemical interactions that are needed in the development of 
breast cancer cells.

the breast pain swelling

In addition to gene mutation, the researchers also agreed that medical history or lifestyle may  
increase the risk of breast cancer. Some risk factors that may be the cause of breast cancer is:

1. Gender

Women are 100 times more often diagnosed with breast cancer than men. This is due to the  
influence of female sex hormones, particularly estrogen and progestron. In some cases of 
breast  cancer, both of these hormones act as a trigger for cell growth and division.

The risks of this cancer will generally increase due to the cells of the breast are often exposed  
to the second exposure of these hormones during the menstrual cycle. In addition, women 
who  experienced early menstruation (before 12 years), menopause after 55 years, as well as 
have  large breasts are also at high risk of breast cancer.

2. Age

According to a study by the American Cancer Society, more than two-thirds of breast cancer  
cases found in women aged 55 years and more. Only one-eighth the population of women  
found to have breast cancer at age less than 45 years.

3. Family medical history

Other risk factors that could potentially be the cause of breast cancer is family medical 
history.  Women at risk is high of developing breast cancer if they have a blood relationship 
directly  with the people who are diagnosed with breast cancer, e.g. mother, brother, or child.

4. Genetic

According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, genetic mutations of BRCA1 and  
BRCA, as far as this is the cause of breast cancer derived the most common.


Mutations in BRCA1 generally will only affect the risk of breast cancer in women, but  
mutations in BRCA2 have contributed as a risk factor of breast cancer in both women and 
men.  Other genes that have a role in breast cancer derivative is ATM, p53, CHEK2, PTEN, 
and  CDH1.

5. Certain ethnic

One of the factors the causes of breast cancer other is ethnic. Women nationality Europe rated  
more susceptible to breast cancer. Even so, African-American women have the chances of  
survival are very small to survive from this disease. Breast cancer also be the main cause of  
death in women Hispanic.

In Indonesia, breast cancer ranked the first cause of death in women, beating a number of 
other  types of cancer. The death rate due to breast cancer in women reaching a 21.4 percent 
based  on the profile data mortality from Cancer (Cancer Mortality Profile) which was 
released by  WHO in 2014.

6. Lifestyle factors

In addition to the various factors that cause breast cancer are already mentioned above, some  
lifestyle habits also indirectly be the cause signs and symptoms of breast cancer. According to  
the American Cancer Society, a sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk of breast cancer  
include:

 Obesity or excess weight
 Excessive alcohol consumption


 Do not have children
 Having your first child after 35 years old
 Taking birth control pills
 Using hormone replacement therapy

Various treatment options of breast cancer

Here are some of the treatment options of breast cancer include:

1. Surgery

Surgery conservative, that is raised along with the cancer cells of the lymph nodes involved. 

 Mastectomy total, ie lifting the entire breast affected by cancer.

Modified radical mastectomy (mastectomy modified radical), which remove the entire breast  
with cancer, lymph nodes under the armpit, along the muscles on the chest, and sometimes 
part  of the muscles of the chest wall.

2. Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy uses X-rays to high-powered targeted to kill cancer cells can reduce the risk 
 of recurrence. Radiation is generally used to destroy the cells that escaped the surgery. This  
therapy is given regularly for women who are at high risk after undergoing a mastectomy.

3. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a cancer therapy using drugs to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. This 
therapy  can be done before surgery to shrink the tumor before it is removed. In addition, this 
therapy  can also be done after surgery to prevent tumor growth back.

4. Hormone therapy

Hormone therapy is a type of cancer therapy by inhibiting the hormones and prevent the  
development of cancer cells. This therapy is effective only in cancers in the breast are 
sensitive  to the hormone. Your doctor will perform tests to determine the type of cancer in 
Your breast.

5. Targeted therapy

Targeted therapy is a therapy that uses drugs or other chemicals to identify and symptoms 
attack  cancer cells specifically without killing the normal cells. This therapy among other 
things:

 Monoclonal antibodies
 Inhibitors of tyrosine kinase
 Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase)


The earlier the stage of cancer Your breast the higher the level of success of the treatment. In  
fact, according to data from the National Cancer, a person who is experiencing breast cancer  
stage one has a chance to survive the next 5 years reach 100 percent.

How to detect a characteristic of early-stage breast cancer?  

breast pain due to PMS

To know the characteristic of early breast cancer, there are 
several things You can do, such as:

1. Breast self-check

The easiest step to determine a feature of early breast cancer, You can do BSE, or breast self-  
examination. Breast self-examination is a technique of checking for women that can be done  
at home to check for lumps in the breast.

Examination BSE conducted on a regular basis will help recognize the texture of the breast  
tissue is normal, so that if later You feel there is something unusual in the breast, You can be  
noticed and can be immediately checked to the doctor. Try make it a habit to check the breasts 
 yourself every month. This way, You will be able to easily detect traits of lumps of breast  
cancer.

The best time to examine breasts is a few days after the menstrual cycle finishes. Because  
hormonal changes can affect the shape and the feeling of You against the breast, the  
examination is best when Your breasts are at status normal.

For women who have not experienced a menstrual cycle yet I should choose the same day to  
do the test, for example the first day of each month. It is highly recommended to write a 
journal  or notes about how to form Your breasts on any checks, to find if there is a change.

2. Mammography

In addition to doing BSE, You can do screening mammography routinely is also important to  
know the characteristic of early breast cancer. Mammography is the technique of scanning the 
 image using the rays of the lower x-ray dose to detect and diagnose breast cancer. A  
Mammogram done simultaneously with the inspection routine clinical and examination breast 
 self monthly as an important step in the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Women aged 40 years and over are required to undergo a mammogram every one to two once. 
 If You or Your family has a history of breast cancer, your doctor may recommend to start  
mammograms early, often, and added some of the alternative scanning.

When doing this procedure, Your breasts will be taped on the screen of the scanner x-rays.  
Then, a compressor will press Your breasts down to flatten the network. This will show the  
results of clearer images of Your breast.

The doctor will usually require You to hold your breath every time shooting. For Your first  
time doing this procedure, You may be a little pain or discomfort. But don't worry, the pain  
and discomfort this will not last long.


During the procedure, the doctor will examine the results of the image displayed on the 
scanner  screen and asked the technician radiologic to take some additional pictures if the 
results are  already there look less clear or requires further examination. Don't panic, it is 
prevalent to do.
