INTRODUCTION

Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer seen in women these days (Who.int, 2015). In 2012, an estimated 1.7 million new cases were registered worldwide. The highest rate of breast cancer was seen in females of Belgium.the highest numbers of survivors for five years post diagnosis are seen in North America and Europe. (Wcrf.org, 2015)
INCIDENCE: Age incidence: higher is the age, higher the chances of developing breast cancer (Cancerresearchuk.org).

RISK FACTORS

AGE: As mentioned earlier, increasing age increases the risk of breast cancer.
FAMILY HISTORY: Positive family history increases the chances manifold
GENETICS: In some cases the occurrence of Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

Cancer is a primary public health concern in the United States and in other parts of the globe. At present, cancer is the second major cause of death in America, and is likely to exceed heart diseases as the primary cause of mortality in the future. Cancer belongs to a group of diseases described by the uncontrolled growth and dispersal of abnormal cells. In the event that the dispersal of abnormal cells is unrestrained, it can lead to death. Cancer is brought about by external factors, including tobacco, unhealthy diet, and infectious organisms, and internal factors, including hormones, inherited Continue reading...

1.1: Thesis objective
We are undertaking this project research due to the realization that breast cancer is one of the most common cancers and despite the huge improvement in treatment therapy, there is a large amount of people who do not survive. Therefore, the main objective is to improve the treatment of breast cancer in general and breast cancer in specific by looking at the role of XIAP in Breast cancer. We are investigating new molecular targets that can be used as a potential therapeutic modality for the treatment of breast cancers.
The aim of the above investigations is Continue reading...

Discussion 2/1

Introduction
Mammography is a tool which can substantially reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer due to early diagnostics. However, due to sensitivity and specificity issues as well as low positive predictive values the question of its feasibility as a routine screening method for certain patients remains controversial. This paper explores the issues related to mammography’s validity and reliability and associated ethical dilemmas and controversies.

Mammography as a screening and diagnostic tool

Mammography is a low-dose X-ray imaging used to obtain the pictures (images) of breast called mammogram. The mammography device uses adjustable plate on the top and X-ray or digital detector at the Continue reading...

The Preventative or Excessive

INTRODUCTION
Cancer is one the most feared medical diagnoses that any patient can receive. Granted we know a great deal more about cancer than in the past and many can be treated to a positive end, however, others are more risky. Breast cancer is a serious consideration for women. Today there are tests and measures that can be taken to identify, treat, and address the needs of breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, survival is still very much a matter of case by case basis. However, recent research has shown that there may be certain genes and hereditary markers that can Continue reading...

“Briefly describe the health issue of the study’s focus?”
Breast cancer is one of the most common issues faced by women (Zastrow, & Kirst-Ashman, 2015), and after treatment of breast cancer, they have to visit hospital outpatient clinics regularly. This regular visit is used to detect and treat the recurrence of disease at an early stage. However, this follow-up has not been found much useful, and researchers are working on the alternative ways to provide follow-up care. These alternative ways include General Practitioner follow-up, Radiographer follow-up, and Breast care nurses (BCNs) follow-up. There is Continue reading...

What was the purpose of this study? Explain why this study was done based on what was known about Breast cancer before.
The study was aimed at determining the options of the procedures to deal with early breast cancer among the patients with specific focus on early treatment involving radiation and chemotherapy as opposed to the removal of the lymph nodes.

Describe the sample of patients in terms of ALL of their important characteristics.

The removal of the lymph nodes is not necessary for women who are in early stages i.e. clinical stages T1 and T2. The biopsies showing that either one or the two nodes have cancer that cannot be felt Continue reading...

Cancer is a terminal condition characterized by abnormal cell growth in the body. It is mostly associated with tumors that often put the patient at risk of spreading to other body parts. Scientific studies have not been conclusively clear on the causes of cancer. There have been several hypotheses about factors that have contributed to this disease. Most studies show that smoking is a major factor that contributes to abnormal cell growth. Obesity, lack of physical exercise, exposure to radiation and some infections such as hepatitis are also part of the factors attributed to cause cancer in humans. There Continue reading...

Abstract

Scientific researches show that milk was not always the American staple that it became in the 20th century. Nevertheless, milk has been preached as a diet staple that should not be missed in any diet, least, an individual deprives himself from the necessary vitamins and minerals that milk has to offer. Social media public figures would often quip ‘Got Milk,’ to let their fans know that there is so much that milk has to offer health-wise. The Milk Processor Education program already changed their slogan from ‘Got Milk’ to ‘Milk Life’ to give importance on milk in people’s Continue reading...

Affirmation of Confidentiality is one of the main reasons that drive patients into disclosing delicate personal information. The ethical principle of confidentiality existing within the physician-patient relationship protects patient’s genetic information. Nevertheless, confidentiality is not absolute (Peshkin& Burke, 2007). Mrs. Joan Smith has breast/ovarian cancer and does not want to share the information with her family members. On the other hand, there is one in two chances that her sister also has the cancer. As both are patients at the clinic, their interests have to be upheld. From an ethical point of view, the nurse has the responsibility Continue reading...

Introduction

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) application in advanced nursing practice has raised controversies. Different opinions propose while others oppose the supplement of natural hormones. The HRT has limitations and strengths that require consideration before prescription. In reference to the scenario of a patient requesting the HRT at a community health clinic, as an advanced practice nurse, I have to weigh the limitations and strengths of HRT before the choice. The paper discusses the limitations and strengths of hormone replacement therapy in reference to the case study at hand in choosing the hormone replacement therapy or not.

Limitations of hormone replacement therapy

Upstream approaches in the health sector are intended to look into the root causes of a health problem. The method covers the social, environmental and economic status concerning health. These three factors may lead to health disparities. Health disparities refer to the differences experienced by persons because of biological and genetic factors and more often by unequal access to factors that affect the health such as education, income, employment and social supports. People belonging to different races, ethnic communities, sexual orientation and socioeconomic classes may have inequality in aces to treatment. One intervention, to treat these inequalities, is MHHDRE Continue reading...
