History of the Medical Progress of fighting Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is not a disease of modern generation but, the disease has been known to be prevalent for several years and generations. With the progression of the medical science many facts about the disease came to light and the researchers made many developments in their research process. Many interesting things came to the knowledge of the people by the evolution of the technology. The biggest fact about the disease is that it is curable and can be diagnosed easily at the early stage of the horrible disease.

As the disease can be easily cured during the initial stages with chemotherapy, the patient does not need to panic with the outbreak of it. Though the after effects of the disease may bother the patient, but they are minor and especially trivial when a valuable life gets saved. The after effects of the disease also vanish by the time.

Over the years medical science has really progressed and have found varied treatments for the same apart from the chemotherapy. There are several novel ways to evaluate the symptoms of breast cancer. 3D mammography and Scintimammography are the effective ways to diagnose the disease and start with the procedure of the treatment as soon as possible.

Oncoplastic surgery is one of the known and effective treatments for the breast cancer in the early stage. This is a new concept and an experienced surgeon can only carry on with the surgery. Researches have proved Vitamin D deficient women are prone to the disease. Women are advised by the research communities to stress about taking Vitamin D supplements and this is one of the greatest findings in the medical history so that women can keep themselves safe from the disease.

The American cancer Society has reported that the breast cancer treatment has come a long way and have achieved huge success in the treatment of the patients over the past two decades. The breast cancer deaths, both in men and women have decreased to about 20% from its zenith in 1991 to 2010. The disease has declined more than 50% among the black men in their 40’s. It is an incredible ration of the success of the medical industry to help the victims of the breast cancer to find solution for longer life.

From the year 2006 -2010 the death instances of the disease has decreased 1.8 per year in men and 1.4 per year in women. The rates of the breast cancer deaths are expected to decline further in the coming years.
