The early breast cancer
You can find lots of information on breast cancer including treatments, ways to prevent it and things that increase or decrease the risk of development. You can also find nutritional advice on exercise and many support groups. But what is rare is information summarizing the history of breast cancer.
Breast cancer was discovered by the ancient Egyptians, who noted that the disease was of tumors or ulcers in the womb. They also found the time there was no treatment beyond removal or cauterization.
Later, doctors have established a link between breast cancer and lymph nodes. French surgeon Jean Petit and Benjamin Hall Scots were the first to actually remove the nodes, tissues and muscles.
The first world mastectomy was performed by Dr. William Halsted. This procedure known as Halsted radical mastectomy and a procedure was popular until 1970.
It should be noted that breast cancer is the fourth most common form of cancer, behind non-melanoma skin cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer. This cancer is most common among women in the United States and statistics show that the accounts of breast cancer in 1% of deaths worldwide. There is one chance in eight women develop breast cancer and 3% chance they will die. Experts agree that this is mainly due to lifestyle choices, the mental and emotional stress, nutritional deficiencies and hormonal treatments, such as breast augmentation.
Measures that may help prevent breast cancer are numerous and easy to implement. They can include dietary restrictions (such as cutting spam or "comfort" food), an exercise regimen, the increase in fiber, fruits and vegetables and focusing on positive thoughts, habits and actions.
The best weapon against breast cancer, you, the health of your body, mind and soul.
