Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Prognosis
This is the first book that discusses subjects of diagnosis, therapy, therapy assessment, and prognosis of breast cancer in one single volume.
Cancer killed 6.7 million people around the world in 2002 and this figure is expected to rise to 10.1 million in 2020. Approximately, 189,510 new cases of breast cancer were reported in 2007 in the United States, and 40,910 died in the same year.
Focusing on Breast Carcinoma, this first volume in the series Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Prognosis brings together 56 leading scientists from around the world to deliver a comprehensive treatise on all aspects of breast cancer, including diagnosis, treatments and prognosis. Scientists and clinicians have contributed state of the art chapters on their respective areas of expertise providing the reader a whole field view of breast cancer management.
This fully illustrated volume:
* Presents a constructive evaluation of commonly used methods for elucidating primary and secondary cancer initiation, progression, relapse, and metastasis.
* Highlights methods of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment assessment including various imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, immunohistochemistry and histochemistry.
* Discusses detailed therapeutic protocols, including both their benefits and side-effects.
* Discusses examples of breast cancer treatments includingchemotherapy, radiation, chemoradiation, surgery, hormonal - and immunotherapy
* Details the molecular processes that lead to the development and proliferation of cancer cells
* Includes recent major advances in cancer diagnosis and therapy assessment
Professor Hayat has summarized the problems associated with the complexities of research publications and has been successful in editinga must-read volume for oncologists, cancer researchers, medical teachers and students of cancer biology.
Prognosis for stage 1 breast cancer?
I'm curious re: Stage 1 breast cancer,tx & prognosis. Thanks
Matt doesn't know what he is talking about. Some cancers can spread through the blood and lymphatic system but chemo does not cause cancer to spread. If a patient on chemo dies, it isn't because the chemo caused the cancer to spread it was because the cancer was stronger than the chemo.
To answer your question, Kelsey is correct. I know from personal experience as I am a stage II breast cancer survivor and my sister is a stage 1 breast cancer survivor.
Breast cancer: can anyone give me any real-life experiences?
Last month my mom, who'll be 60 in January, was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. The 1cm tumor was too deep to be felt from the outside and was detected on her yearly mammogram. It was removed and biopsied, and she went back for a second surgery to have the margins of tissue that surrounded the tumor removed. At that time, they tested her lymph nodes and determined them to be clear and free of cancer cells, and so far her prognosis looks good. The oncologist ordered additional testing on the tumor to determine the aggressiveness of the cancer, although it is suspected that the disease is what it has appeared to be all along: the most common form of breast cancer, caught extremely early. Anyway, we know for a fact that she'll be having 6 weeks of radiation therapy. She will be given the option for chemotherapy if it is determined her tumor is a more serious form of cancer than originally thought. Can anyone give me your experiences with this disease: any information about what radiation therapy and other treatments are like, and generally what to expect over the next few months? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Thank you. All the doctors so far have said that chemo will probably not be necessary. We are hoping for the best, and extremely thankful that mom didn't decide to skip her yearly checkup!!! Thanks for your prayers.
It sounds like your mom caught the cancer early and that is the key to survival. My wife was diagnosed with cancer in her breast that was 4.78 cm and it had traveled to her lymph nodes.
She went through 15 weeks of chemotherapy, and had to be injected daily with a drug that kept her white blood count high. Chemo is not fun; however it works.
After 15 weeks she rested 3 weeks and then had a mastectomy. After the surgery when she was first rolled into the hosipital room she said she had not felt so good for the past 2 weeks. (fear of the surgery, and it was not too bad) For the week after surgery I had to clear her drain, that involved taking daily counts of the liquid from the lymph nodes.
The lab back from the surgery showed that the cancer found in her breast was 5mm. (size of a small grain of rice) so it worked well. In her lymph nodes cancer was found in one of 14 nodes removed about the size of a large grain of rice.
The effects of chemo were:
1. fatigue
2. Mouth sores
3. Brittle nails
4. Constipation.
5. watery eyes
6. Hair loss
With the above findings we will begin 12 weeks of Taxol, (not as bad on system) that hopefully will kill all the cancer cells that may still be in her body. Followed by 6 weeks of daily radiation.
You are sooo lucky that mom found the cancer early. The margins sounded great! What a wonderful Christmas gift! Believe me…it could've been much, much, worse.
Today, I saw a friend that I have not seen for several years. She was just married and I found out her husband has colon cancer (stage 4).
She just had a new baby, and her husband says he just lives each day for his child and wife. He has a great attitude and I believe he will do well, but I thought to myself, how lucky my wife and I were.
You don't realize it until you hear a worse story than yours.
God bless.
