Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases affecting women. Breasts are of great importance to any women, and not only in terms of aesthetics.The main biological function of breasts is production of milk (lactation) for feeding infants. Breasts are meaningful component of female body and have a great social importance as a symbol of maternity, femininity and sexual attractiveness. Unfortunately, great number of women in the world suffer from breast cancer and in many cases the cancer affected breast should be removed to prevent the disease from spreading. Various forms of breast cancer (there are more than 30 types) are found in half of all female population of the world (i. e. in every second women above 30 years old).
Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of them are benign and do not threaten life. Malignant tumors (including breast cancer) is found less frequently, though it is number 1 oncological pathology in women above 40. One of the main reasons for late diagnosing of breast cancer is belated resort to medical assistance.
Very often women even in presence of evident signs of breast cancer are reluctant to consult a doctor for fear to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The results of breast cancer treatment mainly depend on the stage of breast cancer, i. e. the rate of spreading the cancer in breast, in lymphatic system and whole body. It has been proved that 95% of women with early diagnosed breast cancer have been able to overcome the disease. Nolvadex in combination with hormonal and other adjuvant therapy shows great results in the treatment of breast cancer. About 1 million women in the world take Nolvadex yearly. And keep in mind that prophylactic examinations can help you to detect the disease in early stage, which would enable you to start timely treatment. Timely medical treatment allows to avoid surgical interference and breast removal.
