INVOLUNTARY SMOKING CAUSES BREAST CANCER TOO Being around people who are smoking, even as little as one hour a day, can almost triple a woman's risk of contracting breast cancer, the second leading cause of deaths among all American women, and the leading cause of death among middle-aged women. This is the finding of a new study Dr. Alfredo Morabia recently published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Morabia headed a team of researchers from the University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland, that analyzed the smoking habits and exposure of nearly 1300 women. Among their findings: Just smoking fewer than 10 cigarettes a day was enough to double a woman's risk of breast cancer. Smoking 10 to 19 cigarettes a day saw the risk jump almost five fold. Women who were exposed to cigarette smoke for one hour per day for 12 consecutive months nearly tripled their risk of contracting this deadly disease. More women die of breast cancer than from any other cancer. It is now the second leading cause of death in American women. Last year doctors diagnosed cancer of the breast in 182,000 women, and 46,000 died from it. It kills more middle-age women than any other disease. Every fifteen minutes at least three women will develop breast cancer and one will die.

Scientists from Oxford University reviewed clinical trials from 55 countries and found that tamoxifen helped prevent a cancer relapse for women of all ages whose tumors were sensitive to the female hormone estrogen. Currently breast cancer patients who are under 40 or pre-menopausal have not routinely received the drug therapy because doctors weren't sure it would help them live longer. Oxford University scientists believe all women with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer should take tamoxifen The comprehensive British study analyzed trials involving 37,000 women. Tamoxifen worked in all age groups, including patients with node-negative tumors that had not spread into the lymph nodes and in those who had chemotherapy. Relapse rate cut in half "We've got evidence that this drug, which is already saving more lives than any other cancer drug, could save twice as many lives," Dr. Rory Collins of Oxford said Thursday. The study showed that within 10 years of surgery, about one third of patients relapsed and died. But starting tamoxifen early and continuing for around five years cut the relapse rate in half and improved survival for patients of all ages.

Search CNN Networks SPECIALS Quick News Almanac Video Vault News Quiz Study: Drug cuts breast cancer rate for women at risk April 5, 1998 Web posted at: 7:16 p.m. EDT (2316 GMT) PHILADELPHIA (CNN) Women at increased risk for developing breast cancer may be able to cut that risk nearly in half by taking tamoxifen, a drug now used to treat the disease, according to results of a study by the National Cancer Institute. The results, reported Sunday in The Philadelphia Inquirer, could potentially affect millions of woman as they age, because women older than 60 are considered at increased risk for developing breast cancer. Also considered at risk are women with a family history of breast cancer and those with precancerous tissue in their breasts. Tamoxifen works by interfering with the interaction of breast cancer cells and estrogen, a hormone involved in the division and growth of cancerous cells. Women at risk for breast cancer: Family history Advanced age Precancerous breast tissue Source: American Cancer Society "(Tamoxifen) attaches to the receptor in the cells that 'sees' estrogen and prevents the cell from 'seeing' estrogen. So it can actually stop the growth of breast cells and of breast cancer cells," said Dr. Larry Norton of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

73. Bangkok Breast Cancer Support Group Offers support and encouragement with objectives explained and mission stated. http://www.bangkokbreastcancer.com/

As a doctor once said: "With breast cancer, you're treating not just the disease, but the entire woman." The Bangkok Breast Cancer Support Group is here to help you where your doctor leaves off. The Bangkok Breast Cancer Support Group is comprised of over twenty volunteer women who've had experience with breast cancer - we're either surviving breast cancer ourselves, or have been close to other women who've had it. The group's objective is to provide emotional support both to each other, and to women who've been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Whether you're Thai, American, British, Malaysian, Cambodian, French, Australian... women of all nationalities need support when they've been diagnosed with cancer, are being treated for it, or are recovering from their treatment. That's what we're here for. The group meets on a monthly basis, with private consultations and visits whenever a woman needs to talk to someone who's been where she has. Women of all languages and income levels are catered to, as well as patients of all hospitals. Usually meetings are conducted in English, so women who don't speak English often bring a close friend who can. We're also here to answer questions about breast cancer anyone might have. Our answers come from our combined experience. Another important objective of the group is to provide education to women in Thailand about the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. The group arranges talks on breast cancer prevention for companies as well as for interested individuals.

Breast Cancer Return to the tutorial menu. The Breast The female breasts are modified sweat glands composed of lobes and lobules interspersed with adipose tissue and connective tissue. Ducts drain from each lobule. These converge to form a lactiferous duct that drains from each lobe. The lactiferous ducts merge just beneath the nipple to form a lactiferous sinus. The functional secretory unit in lactation is the terminal duct lobular unit. Here, each duct has a lining epithelium surrounded by a thin myoepithelial cell layer responsive to oxytocin, the hormone that stimulates lactation. Neoplasms may arise in either the ductular epithelium, lobules, or the stroma. However, the majority of cancers arise in the ducts. Normal breast, high power microscopic. Normal breast, duct with myoepithelial cells identified by immunoperoxidase staining for actin, high power microscopic. Incidence of Breast Cancer Breast cancer is very rare before age 20 and is rarely diagnosed in women younger than age 25. Past that age, the incidence rises steadily to reach a peak around the age of menopause. The rate of increase is lessened after menopause, but older women are still at increasing risk over time. About 1 in 8 women in the United States and Canada will develop breast cancer. This incidence is similar for many European countries. However, breast cancer is much less common in Asia.

Treatment Options The most common type of breast cancer begins in the lining of the ducts (thin tubes that connect the nipples to the other parts of the breast) and is called ductal carcinoma. Another type, called lobular carcinoma, arises in the lobules (small sections of the breast, which contain the bulbs that produce milk). When breast cancer spreads outside the breast, cancer cells are often found in the lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes). If the cancer has reached these nodes, it may mean that cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body - other lymph nodes and other organs, such as the bones, liver, or lungs - via the lymphatic system or the bloodstream. Cancer that spreads is the same disease and has the same name as the original (primary) cancer. When breast cancer spreads, it is called metastatic breast cancer, even though the secondary tumor is in another organ. Doctors sometimes call this "distant" disease.

Calculate Risk for New Patient More Information Credits An interactive tool to measure a woman’s risk of invasive breast cancer Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) Biostatistics Canter have developed this Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool, a Web tool that allows a health professional to project a woman’s individualized estimate of risk for invasive breast cancer over a 5-year period and over her lifetime (to age 90). This tool uses statistical methods applied to data from the Breast Cancer Detection and Demonstration Project, a mammography screening project conducted in the 1970s. This Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool has been designed for a health professional to project an individual patient's estimate of invasive breast cancer risk. It is only part of the complex discussion regarding a woman's options in reducing her risk of breast cancer. Therefore, if you are not a health professional, you should discuss with your doctor the interpretation of the results of this risk profile. Another useful source of information that may help in the discussion with your health care professional is the Cancer Information Service (CIS), which may be reached at 1-800-4-CANCER.
