This book was released on 2005 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le cancer du sein chez la femme jeune est rare puisqu'il ne représente que 2% de la population, cependant c'est le cancer le plus fréquent chez la femme jeune. Ce cancer a généralement un mauvais pronostic, car il est souvent découvert à des stades avancés, mais également parce qu'il présente des caractéristiques histopathologiques particulières. En effet, différentes études ont déterminé que ce cancer a une fréquence accrue de tumeurs ayant un grade SBR élevé, que les tumeurs sont le plus souvent HER 2l neu positives et sont plus proliférantes avec un Ki 67 élevé. Nous rapportons dans cette étude, 50 cas de femmes ayant eu un cancer du sein entre 1998 et 2004. Des antécédents, tels qu'une ménarche plus jeune, une prise de contraception orale plus fréquente, une tendance à retarder la première grossesse étaient majoritairement observés. De même, les antécédents familiaux étaient présents chez un tiers des patientes. Nous avons pu observer une grande fréquence de retards de diagnostic, avec des tumeurs de plus grande taille lors des retards diagnostic, sauf lorsque le cancer était associé à la grossesse. Par ailleurs, dans la moitié des cas étudiés, l'imagerie était en cause et cela, même lors du dépistage. Le dépistage n'a été effectué que dans une minorité de cas, mais n'a cependant jamais permis un diagnostic précoce.Il est ensuite apparu que le retard de diagnostic en général a eu un rôle agravant sur le pronostic, objectivé par une taille clinique des tumeurs supérieure à celle qui est retrouvée en l'absence de retard, .celui-ci ne semble pas avoir réduit le pronostic lors des cancers associés à la grossesse. Les progrès pourraient s'orienter vers une sensibilisation des médecins généralistes à la problématique du cancer du sein chez la femme jeune. Le dépistage clinique et radiologique doivent pouvoir être améliorés et la place de l'IRM est encore à définir dans ce dépistage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De nombreuses études ont montré que les femmes âgées atteintes de cancer du sein sont sous traitées par rapport aux plus jeunes. Si des publications suggèrent l'existence de fortes inégalités socio-économiques et géographiques dans le stade de découverte et la qualité de vie des patientes, l'effet différentiel de ces facteurs en fonction de l'âge est cependant largement méconnu en France. Les objectifs de ce travail étaient d'identifier les déterminants socio-économiques et géographiques du stade de découverte du cancer du sein en fonction de l'âge, de décrire la prise en charge et la survie des patientes atteintes de cancer du sein en fonction de l'âge, et d'identifier les déterminants de la qualité de vie, en fonction de l'âge chez des survivantes à 5 ans du cancer du sein. Les résultats des travaux réalisés ont montré que les femmes âgées de 50-74 ans et qui vivaient dans des zones économiquement défavorisées étaient diagnostiquées à des stades avancés pour leur cancer du sein. Les résultats ont également permis de mettre en évidence une diminution du traitement par chirurgie conservatrice et une augmentation de la proportion de femmes ne recevant aucun traitement chez les femmes les plus âgées. La survie était également moins bonne chez ces femmes. Enfin, cinq ans après le diagnostic du cancer du sein, chez les femmes âgées, seuls les comorbidités et le score de précarité EPICES impactaient la qualité de vie. Afin d'améliorer la survie et la qualité de vie des patientes âgées, une approche pluridisciplinaire par l'évaluation oncogériatrique, présente un intérêt et serait d'une importance capitale pour permettre une prise en charge individualisée de ces patientes.
Download or read book Managing Breast Cancer Risk written by Monica Morrow and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Breast Cancer Risk is a single source for information needed by primary care physicians, nurses, gynecologists, as well as oncologic specialists who deal with women who are concerned about breast cancer. Its purpose is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of experts to address breast cancer risk in a clinically meaningful way. Chapters providing detailed information on individual risk factors are accompanied by a discussion of models, which integrate multiple factors for a more complete assessment of risk. Traditional strategies for risk management, including surveillance and prophylactic surgery, are reviewed, and the data on newer techniques such as ductal lavage and screening with magnetic resonance is presented. The rational for chemoprevention with selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS) is discussed, and the evidence for tamoxifen as a chemopreventative is updated. The potential for chemoprevention with newer SERMS and the aromatase inhibitors is reviewed. Finally, the critical (and often ignored) areas of quality of life and symptom management are addressed.
Download or read book Digital Mammography written by Ulrich Bick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Radiography has been ? rmly established in diagnostic radiology during the last decade. Because of the special requirements of high contrast and spatial resolution needed for roentgen mammography, it took some more time to develop digital m- mography as a routine radiological tool. Recent technological progress in detector and screen design as well as increased ex- rience with computer applications for image processing have now enabled Digital Mammography to become a mature modality that opens new perspectives for the diag- sis of breast diseases. The editors of this timely new volume Prof. Dr. U. Bick and Dr. F. Diekmann, both well-known international leaders in breast imaging, have for many years been very active in the frontiers of theoretical and translational clinical research, needed to bring digital mammography ? nally into the sphere of daily clinical radiology. I am very much indebted to the editors as well as to the other internationally rec- nized experts in the ? eld for their outstanding state of the art contributions to this v- ume. It is indeed an excellent handbook that covers in depth all aspects of Digital Mammography and thus further enriches our book series Medical Radiology. The highly informative text as well as the numerous well-chosen superb illustrations will enable certi? ed radiologists as well as radiologists in training to deepen their knowledge in modern breast imaging.

This book is an excellent resource to improve the understanding of breast diseases, recognize and manage problems encountered in breast imaging and clinical management of the breast diseases. With forty four chapters, this volume is divided into six sections on screening of breast cancer, imaging modalities, benign breast disorders, interventional procedures, pathological considerations and breast cancer. Breast Diseases: Imaging and Clinical Management is a crisp volume on clinical and multimodality breast imaging with emphasis on interventional procedures, pathology and the entire spectrum of breast cancers.
Download or read book Seeking Sickness written by Alan Cassels and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Alan Cassels strips layers of expectation, hype, jargon, false-starts, and conflicts of interest off the medical screening mantra.” —Nortin M. Hadler, author of Worried Sick Why wouldn’t you want to be screened to see if you’re at risk for cancer, heart disease, or another potentially lethal condition? After all, better safe than sorry. Right? Not so fast, says Alan Cassels. His Seeking Sickness takes us inside the world of medical screening, where well-meaning practitioners and a profit-motivated industry offer to save our lives by exploiting our fears. He writes that promoters of screening overpromise on its benefits and downplay its harms, which can range from the merely annoying to the life threatening. If you’re facing a screening test for breast or prostate cancer, high cholesterol, or low testosterone, someone is about to turn you into a patient. You need to ask yourself one simple question: Am I ready for all the things that could go wrong? “With engaging clarity backed by academic rigor, Cassels discusses a variety of popular investigational procedures . . . an excellent way to start the important process of self-education.” —Quill & Quire “Smartly written and very readable.” —Brian Goldman, MD, author of The Secret Language of Doctors “Cassels tackles this touchy topic, looking at it test by test. His overarching message is that modern medicine has ‘overpromised’ with claims that screening will save our lives. He contends that with the lack of hard evidence on benefits, the evidence of harm from by such screening, as well as the multi-billion dollar interests at stake, we should approach this kind of screening with great precaution.” —Canadian Women’s Health Network

Download or read book Mitochondrial Replacement Techniques written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-04-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mitochondrial replacement techniques (MRTs) are designed to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases from mother to child. While MRTs, if effective, could satisfy a desire of women seeking to have a genetically related child without the risk of passing on mtDNA disease, the technique raises significant ethical and social issues. It would create offspring who have genetic material from two women, something never sanctioned in humans, and would create mitochondrial changes that could be heritable (in female offspring), and therefore passed on in perpetuity. The manipulation would be performed on eggs or embryos, would affect every cell of the resulting individual, and once carried out this genetic manipulation is not reversible. Mitochondrial Replacement Techniques considers the implications of manipulating mitochondrial content both in children born to women as a result of participating in these studies and in descendants of any female offspring. This study examines the ethical and social issues related to MRTs, outlines principles that would provide a framework and foundation for oversight of MRTs, and develops recommendations to inform the Food and Drug Administration's consideration of investigational new drug applications.
Download or read book The Breast Cancer Wars written by Barron H. Lerner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this riveting narrative, Barron H. Lerner offers a superb medical and cultural history of our century-long battle with breast cancer. Revisiting the past, Lerner argues, can illuminate and clarify the dilemmas confronted by women with--and at risk for--the disease. Writing with insight and compassion, Lerner tells a compelling story of influential surgeons, anxious patients and committed activists. There are colorful portraits of the leading figures, ranging from the acerbic Dr. William Halsted, who pioneered the disfiguring radical mastectomy at the turn of the century to George Crile, Jr., the Cleveland surgeon who shocked the medical establishment by "going public" with his doubts about mastectomy, to Rose Kushner, a brash journalist who relentlessly educated American women about breast cancer. Lerner offers a fascinating account of the breast cancer wars: the insistent efforts of physicians to vanquish the "enemy"; the fights waged by feminists and maverick doctors to combat a paternalistic legacy that discouraged decision-making by patients; and the struggles of statisticians and researchers to generate definitive data in the face of the great risks and uncertainties raised by the disease. As easy as it is to demonize male physicians, the persistence of the radical mastectomy and other invasive treatments has had as much to do with the complicated scientific understandings of breast cancer as with sexism. In Lerner's hands, the fight against breast cancer opens a window on American medical practice over the last century: the pursuit of dramatic cures with sophisticated technologies, the emergence of patients' rights, the ethical and legal challenges raised by informed consent, and the limited ability of scientific knowledge to provide quick solutions for serious illnesses. A searching and profound work on an emotionally charged issue, The Breast Cancer Wars tells a story that remains of vital importance to modern breast cancer patients, their families and the clinicians who strive to treat and prevent this dreaded disease.
Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.
