Medical oncologist Dr. Margarita Taushanova pays attention to Orlin Pavlov, that breast cancer is perhaps the most common cancer in women. According to the data from the video, from this type of carcinoma every day in the world about 1000 women - one's daughters, mothers, wives. They also suffer from it 1% and 3% from men, therefore, they also need to monitor their health status, especially if there is a heredity.
However, the specialist is categorical, that with proper behavior today this type of carcinoma is completely curable.
"Breast cancer treatment in recent years 10 – 15 years revolutionized oncology. If years ago this was considered an oncological disease with a fatal outcome, now we are already talking about a chronic disease", Dr. Taushanova explains in the video.
The basis of a good outcome is prevention and self-monitoring.
"These two factors are extremely important to detect this cancer at a very early stage, when the chances of a complete cure are still almost 100%", Dr. Taushanova is categorical.
The video clearly shows how women can monitor themselves, and the oncologist's advice is to do it at least once a month and if they find any changes in their mammary glands, immediately seek a specialist. After 30 ‒ 35 years, preventive examinations should also be done regularly. When there is a hereditary burden, these reviews should be annual, and after 40 ‒ 45 years and twice a year.
You can learn about the meaning of prevention and the revolution in the treatment of breast cancer from the video with host Orlin Pavlov.
