Breast Cancer
Since the 1900s and now people are getting diagnosed of breast cancer and about 234,000
people getting diagnosed and 40,730 died from breast cancer according to Breast Cancer.
Women likely to develop breast cancer more than men do according to Breast Cancer. Women
and men needs to know how serious breast cancer can be and there is treatment for cancer.
Crawford and Alder report. Also the people needs to know how this could affect the family
members. All men and women need to be aware about breast cancer and genetics.
First, women is likely to develop breast cancer more than men do according to Breast
Cancer. The gene is HER2, BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2 the men and women can develop
these according to the Breast Cancer article. About 60% of people can inherit BRCA1 or
developed the disease BRCA2. The cancer has a high rate of survival and diagnosed the rate is 5
years of survival. According to Breast Cancer, if women and men should go to the doctor or go
to the clinic that takes care of breast cancer, so the doctor can roll out the odds of survival. The
treatments for breast cancer like surgery and drain the bad liquid. If the tumor spread rapidly the
doctors has to remove the breast or the tumor is not spreadable the doctors will only remove the
tumor instead.
Furthermore, men and women still do not know how serious this cancer can be and
treatments for breast cancer. The cancer is spreadable and there is different way to get cancer.
According to Breast Cancer, the estimate the population between 1 in 500 and 1 in 1,000

people is getting diagnosed of breast cancer in different places. Also working in a dangerous
environment like the nuclear plant it can cause cancer. Symptoms of breast cancer are lump in
the breast. The breast change shapes, pain, itchiness, fluid leaking for the nipple, turn-in nipple,
fatigue or unexplained weight loss. The doctors can used the DNA and treatments that is
according to Breast Cancer. The doctors use the DNA to match to one of the genes and
chemotherapy is a strong chemical that kills the fast growth cell also radiation is the same thing.
Finally, people need to know how this could affect the family members. 5 to 10 women
that develop breast cancer and they can inherit the genetic mutation of the disease. Crawford and
Alder report. BRCA1 gene carry the mutation it has increased the risk of developing breast
cancer or during their lifetime. But BRCA2 has greater risk to develop breast cancer. Some of the
patient has a strong history of breast cancer about 90% of women can get this cancer. Crawford
and Alder claims. Women can linked the disease and about 66.9 percent of women over age fiftyfive. Crawford and Alber claim. If the mutation of the disease is that strong it can increase the
risk for the children. Children can develop the mutation before turning twelve years old and
regardless the of the gender.
Everyone at the age twenty should be checked to see if she have breast cancer. Women is
likely to develop breast cancer more than men do according to Breast Cancer. The cancer is
spreadable and there is different ways to get cancer according to Breast Cancer. 5 to 10 women
that develop breast cancer and they can inherit the genetic mutation of the disease. Crawford and
Alber claims.
