Are you suffering from breast cancer? Are you looking for best treatment? Surgery is not the only way for treatment of breast cancer. There are several other methods also. The effective ways for breast treatment are chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy. All the therapies are some positive and negative effects. You may contact some homoepathy doctors in the primary stage. In the primary statge homoeopathy treatment may be effective.
Don’t neglect your treatment. If you are careful and start your treatment in the primary stage you can be easily cured. In the later stage of cancer treatment is very much complex and your life may be at stake.
Chemotheraphy can be used before or after the surgery. Chemotherapy helps to kill the cancer cells. It also helps to combat against growing cancer cell further. In Chemotherapy medicines generally are administered through intravenous. You should mentally fit before taking chemotherapy. Because chemotheraphy has some bad effect also. You may be more fatigued, you may lose your hair. Loss of appetite, vomiting tendencies etc. are other bad effects of chemotherapy. So you should not frighten in these problems. Be courageous to combat cancer with valor.
Radiation therapy is also used to combat against cancer. It is nothing but powerful gamma rays (x-rays) which target the affected cancer cells. Radiation therapy generally used after surgery. It is not possible to remove all the cancer affected area (tumor) by surgery. There is every possibility of having cancer cell in the affected area after surgery also. At this stage the rest of the cancer cells are destroyed by radiation. Radiation therapy also stops to recur the cancer cell.
Women who are genetically at high risk of developing breast cancer may benefit from tamoxifen as it has previously been seen to decrease the incidence of the disease occurring. Raloxifene, which is used to treat osteoporosis, is now being studied for treating breast cancer. It is seen in some of the breast cancer cases, a woman’s natural hormones are suppressed with drugs whereas other patients find benefits by adding hormones. Tamoxifen for instance is currently the most commonly prescribed effective hormone treatment. It can be used for treating breast cancer and in the prevention of breast cancer. Tamoxifen has few side effects and can considerably improve the life span of those women who have advanced cases of breast cancer. Fulvestrant has recently been approved in the USA as alternative treatment of breast cancer. It is planned to be used for treating hormone receptor positive metastastic breast cancer in women who have been through the menopause. It is given following antiestrogen therapy.
Monoclonal is antibodies that are antagonistic against the proteins, which are in or around cancer cells. They recognise an invader such as a cancer cell and attack it. This antibody therapy is currently being investigated holds out a lot of hope for breast cancer sufferers.Intake of excessive alcohol and obesity following menopause can increase the risk of developing breast cancer although this increase is slight. Those physically active women have a lower risk. More and more women who are at a high risk of developing breast cancer are having preventative or prophylactic mastectomies to avoid them developing breast cancer.The main risk factors for women to develop breast are age, sex and genetics. Women can do nothing about some risks so preventing death caused due to breast cancer is recommended with regular screening. So it is recommended women should undertake regular screening including self-examination, mammography and clinical breast examinations.
