Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. To better understand breast cancer, it helps to understand how any cancer can develop. What the risk factors are, understanding the symptoms of breast cancer, how to screen for breast cancer, the types of breast cancer and staging. Cáncer de mama ¿Qué es el cáncer de mama? El cáncer de mama es un crecimiento descontrolado de las células mamarias. Para comprender mejor el cáncer de mama, es útil entender cómo se puede desarrollar cualquier tipo de cáncer. El cáncer se produce como resultado de mutaciones o cambios anormales en los genes responsables de regular el crecimiento de las células y mantenerlas sanas. Los genes están en el núcleo de cada célula, que actúa como la "sala de control" de cada célula. Normalmente, las células de nuestro cuerpo se reemplazan a sí mismas a través de un proceso ordenado de crecimiento celular: nuevas células sanas toman el relevo a medida que mueren las viejas. Pero con el tiempo, las mutaciones pueden “activar” ciertos genes y “desactivar” otros en una célula. Esa célula cambiada adquiere la capacidad de seguir dividiéndose sin control ni orden, produciendo más células iguales y formando un tumor. Un tumor puede ser benigno (no peligroso para la salud) o maligno (tiene el potencial de ser peligroso). Los tumores benignos no se consideran cancerosos: sus células tienen una apariencia casi normal, crecen lentamente y no invaden los tejidos cercanos ni se diseminan a otras partes del cuerpo. Los tumores malignos son cancerosos. Si no se controlan, las células malignas eventualmente pueden diseminarse más allá del tumor original a otras partes del cuerpo. El término “cáncer de mama” se refiere a un tumor maligno que se ha desarrollado a partir de células en la mama. Por lo general, el cáncer de mama comienza en las células de los lóbulos, que son las glándulas productoras de leche, o en los conductos, los conductos que drenan la leche desde los lóbulos hasta el pezón. Con menos frecuencia, el cáncer de mama puede comenzar en los tejidos del estroma, que incluyen los tejidos conectivos grasos y fibrosos de la mama. Anatomía mamaria. Una mama se compone de tres partes principales: lóbulos, conductos y tejido conectivo. Los lóbulos son las glándulas que producen la leche. Los conductos son tubos que llevan la leche al pezón. El tejido conectivo (que consta de tejido fibroso y graso) rodea y mantiene todo unido. La mayoría de los cánceres de mama comienzan en los conductos o lobulillos. Con el tiempo, las células cancerosas pueden invadir el tejido mamario sano cercano y llegar a los ganglios linfáticos de la axila, pequeños órganos que filtran sustancias extrañas en el cuerpo. Si las células cancerosas ingresan a los ganglios linfáticos, tienen un camino hacia otras partes del cuerpo. El estadio del cáncer de mama se refiere a cuánto se han propagado las células cancerosas más allá del tumor original (consulte las Etapas del cáncer de mama a continuación para obtener más información). El cáncer de mama siempre es causado por una anomalía genética (un “error” en el material genético). Sin embargo, solo entre el 5 y el 10 % de los cánceres se deben a una anomalía heredada de la madre o el padre. En cambio, el 85-90% de los cánceres de mama se deben a anomalías genéticas que ocurren como resultado del proceso de envejecimiento y el “desgaste” de la vida en general. Hay pasos que cada persona puede tomar para ayudar a que el cuerpo se mantenga lo más saludable posible, como comer una dieta balanceada, mantener un peso saludable, no fumar, limitar el consumo de alcohol y hacer ejercicio con regularidad (aprende lo que puedes hacer para controlar los factores de riesgo de cáncer de mama ). Si bien estos pueden tener algún impacto en su riesgo de contraer cáncer de mama, no pueden eliminar el riesgo. Desarrollar cáncer de mama no es culpa tuya ni de nadie. Sentirse culpable o decirse a sí misma que el cáncer de mama ocurrió por algo que usted o cualquier otra persona hizo, no es productivo. Etapas del cáncer de mama Mama en etapa temprana El cáncer de mama en etapa temprana se refiere a las etapas 0-III Cáncer de mama en etapa tardía o avanzada El cáncer de mama en etapa tardía se refiere a la etapa IV o cáncer de mama metastásico (MBC) Etapas del cáncer de mama La estadificación es un término estándar que se usa en la profesión médica para comunicar qué tan extendido o avanzado está el cáncer en el tejido mamario y posiblemente en otras partes del cuerpo. Si le diagnostican cáncer de mama, los médicos y patólogos examinarán los resultados de la biopsia y las imágenes para determinar la etapa, también conocida como progresión, de la enfermedad. El proceso es complicado pero necesario para determinar el mejor plan de tratamiento para su tipo particular de cáncer. El sistema de estadificación más común es el TNM (Tumor, Nódulo, Metástasis; más sobre esto a continuación), que se centra en el tamaño del tumor, la afectación de los ganglios linfáticos y la diseminación metastásica del cáncer. También tiene en cuenta detalles relacionados con los receptores hormonales, la proteína HER2 y la tasa de crecimiento de las células. Los médicos utilizan la estadificación de su tumor para explicar la amplitud y el alcance del cáncer y les ayuda a determinar cómo avanzar con el tratamiento, incluida la cirugía, si es necesario. Los médicos usan pruebas de diagnóstico para determinar la etapa del cáncer, por lo que es posible que la estadificación no esté completa hasta que se terminen todas las pruebas. La etapa de un cáncer de mama está determinada por las características del cáncer, como su tamaño y si tiene o no receptores hormonales. La etapa del cáncer le ayuda a usted y a su médico a: • averiguar su pronóstico, el resultado probable de la enfermedad • decidir las mejores opciones de tratamiento para usted • determinar si ciertos ensayos clínicos pueden ser una buena opción para usted El estadio del cáncer de mama generalmente se expresa como un número en una escala de 0 a IV; el estadio 0 describe los cánceres no invasivos que permanecen dentro de su ubicación original y el estadio IV describe los cánceres invasivos que se han propagado fuera del seno a otras partes del cuerpo. Estadificación clínica vs. patológica La estadificación clínica se basa en los resultados de las pruebas realizadas antes de la cirugía. Si su biopsia resulta positiva, su médico puede ordenar pruebas adicionales para obtener una mejor comprensión de si las células cancerosas se han diseminado y hacia dónde. Este período de recopilación de datos puede incluir exámenes físicos, mamografías, ecografías y resonancias magnéticas. En algunos casos, su médico también puede ordenar una tomografía computarizada o de huesos. La estadificación patológica se basa en lo que se encuentra durante la cirugía para extirpar tejido mamario y ganglios linfáticos. Si bien muchas de las pruebas antes mencionadas pueden brindarle a su equipo oncológico mucha información y puntos de datos, no es hasta que se realiza la cirugía en la que los cirujanos pueden extirpar el tumor y los posibles ganglios linfáticos para confirmar el tamaño del tumor, el número de afectación de los ganglios linfáticos y si el cáncer ha hecho metástasis o no. Cáncer de mama en etapa temprana El cáncer de mama en etapa temprana se refiere a las etapas 0-III. Etapa 0 Los cánceres en etapa 0 se denominan “carcinoma in situ”. Carcinoma significa cáncer e “in situ” significa “en el lugar original”. Los tipos de “carcinoma in situ” incluyen • CDIS: carcinoma ductal in situ • CLIS: carcinoma lobulillar in situ • Enfermedad de Paget del pezón Etapa I El estadio I se puede dividir en estadio IA y estadio IB. La diferencia está determinada por el tamaño del tumor y los ganglios linfáticos con evidencia de cáncer. Etapa II El estadio II significa que el cáncer de mama está creciendo, pero aún está contenido en la mama o el crecimiento solo se ha extendido a los ganglios linfáticos cercanos. Esta etapa se divide en grupos: Etapa IIA y Etapa IIB. La diferencia está determinada por el tamaño del tumor y si el cáncer de mama se ha propagado a los ganglios linfáticos. Etapa III El cáncer en etapa III significa que el cáncer de mama se ha extendido más allá de la región inmediata del tumor y puede haber invadido los ganglios linfáticos y los músculos cercanos, pero no se ha propagado a órganos distantes. Esta etapa se divide en tres grupos: Etapa IIIA, Etapa IIIB y Etapa IIIC. La diferencia está determinada por el tamaño del tumor y si el cáncer se ha propagado a los ganglios linfáticos y al tejido circundante. Etapa IV En la Etapa IV, el cáncer se ha diseminado a otros órganos y partes del cuerpo más allá del seno. Esta etapa a menudo se denomina cáncer de mama metastásico (CMM) y es más difícil de tratar debido al impacto en otros órganos. Los síntomas del cáncer en etapa IV incluyen hinchazón visible en el seno y la axila; piel seca y escamosa; piel roja con hoyuelos; secreción del pezón; dolor en los senos; fatiga; insomnio; pérdida de apetito; pérdida de peso; dificultad para respirar y otros síntomas relacionados con los órganos específicos involucrados. Aunque el cáncer de mama en etapa IV no es curable, es tratable hasta cierto punto y los avances actuales en investigación y tecnología médica significan que cada vez más mujeres viven más al manejar la enfermedad como una enfermedad crónica con un enfoque en la calidad de vida como un objetivo principal. Con excelente atención y apoyo, así como motivación personal, el cáncer de mama en estadio IV puede responder a una serie de opciones de tratamiento que pueden prolongar la vida durante varios años. Sistema de estadificación TNM Los médicos usan el sistema TNM para asegurarse de que los profesionales médicos usen el mismo lenguaje y sistema para describir el tumor. T se refiere al tamaño del tumor medido en centímetros y dónde está ubicado. N se refiere al número de ganglios linfáticos que dieron positivo para el cáncer. Si no hubiera ganglios linfáticos afectados, el informe patológico indicaría N(0). M se refiere a si el cáncer ha viajado o no a una parte distante del cuerpo, como los huesos o los órganos. Si se ha propagado, indicará dónde y cuánto. Por ejemplo, el estadio IIB puede decir algo como esto: (T3, N0, M0), lo que significa que el tumor mide más de 55 mm y no se ha propagado a los ganglios linfáticos ni a otras partes del cuerpo. Directrices de puesta en escena actualizadas El Comité Conjunto Estadounidense sobre el Cáncer (AJCC) estableció la forma en que se comunica el cáncer. Los médicos y la comunidad de vigilancia cuentan con el AJCC para obtener los datos de estadificación anatómica más completos disponibles, es decir, el Manual de estadificación del cáncer y el Atlas de estadificación del cáncer. En 2018, el AJCC actualizó las pautas de estadificación del cáncer de mama para agregar otras características del cáncer al sistema T, N, M para determinar la etapa del cáncer. Además de conocer el estadio de tu cáncer, el cáncer de mama también se clasifica según otras características. Estos incluyen cuán sensible es a las hormonas estrógeno y progesterona, así como al nivel de ciertas proteínas que desempeñan un papel en el crecimiento del cáncer de mama, como HER2. También se clasifica por la composición genética del cáncer. • Grado del tumor: una medida de cuánto se parecen las células cancerosas a las células normales • Estado del receptor de estrógeno y progesterona: ¿las células cancerosas tienen receptores para las hormonas estrógeno y progesterona? • Estado de HER2: ¿las células cancerosas están produciendo demasiada proteína HER2? • Puntuación Oncotype DX, si el cáncer es receptor de estrógeno positivo, HER2 negativo y no hay cáncer en los ganglios linfáticos. Las pautas modificadas anteriormente han ayudado a crear y reforzar los avances en tratamientos ontológicos/quirúrgicos. Como puede imaginar, la estadificación es una tarea compleja y estas últimas pautas del AJCC permiten un diagnóstico y opciones de tratamiento más coherentes y universales. Escucha el podcast

Breast Cancer Symptoms Understanding the Signs. Breast Cancer Signs and Symptoms Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel is an important part of breast health. Finding breast cancer as early as possible gives you a better chance of successful treatment. But knowing what to look for does not take the place of having regular mammograms and other Screening tests. Screening tests can help find breast cancer in its early stages, before any symptoms appear. The most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. A painless, hard mass that has irregular edges is more likely to be cancer, but breast cancers can be tender, soft, or rounded. They can even be painful. For this reason, it is important to have any new breast mass, lump, or breast change checked by a health care professional experienced in diagnosing breast diseases. Other possible symptoms of breast cancer include: Other possible symptoms of breast cancer include: Swelling of all or part of a breast (even if no distinct lump is felt) Skin irritation or dimpling (sometimes looking like an orange peel) Breast or nipple pain Nipple retraction (turning inward) Redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin Nipple discharge (other than breast milk) Sometimes a breast cancer can spread to lymph nodes under the arm or around the collar bone and cause a lump or swelling there, even before the original tumor in the breast is large enough to be felt. Swollen lymph nodes should also be checked by a health care provider. Although any of these symptoms can be caused by things other than breast cancer, if you have them, they should be reported to a health care professional so that the cause can be found. Because mammograms do not find every breast cancer, it is important for you to be aware of changes in your breasts and to know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Radiation Treatment Chemotherapy, Surgery, Radiation & Hormonal Therapy When you meet with your oncology team, it is always important to remember that this is a partnership; a partnership between you and your doctors. It is ok to ask questions, to ask for clarification and to ensure you are 100% comfortable with your treatment options. Depending on the type of breast cancer you have (Triple Negative, Lobular, Inflammatory, etc. ), and the stage of your breast cancer, your treatment options will vary. In some cases people will start with chemotherapy, while others may have surgery first. In some cases, if your cancer has spread to the bones or organs, surgery may not be necessary.

Resources For Parents A breast cancer diagnosis not only affects the person with the disease, but also has a significant impact on the people around them; their families, spouses, children, friends and co-workers. Receiving the news that someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer may propel you into a flurry of emotions. It is natural to feel worried about the unknown and uncertainty. It is also natural to want to do everything you can to protect and support the person as well. After all, we want to be strong and be there for the person as they are going through grueling treatments and tireless complex decision-making. At Survivingbreastcancer.org (SBC), we also understand that the role the family (parent, spouse, & children), caregivers, and friends play is a critical one, and you too need support and resources. Navigating a breast cancer diagnosis takes both an emotional and physical toll on each and every one of us. While a lot of the attention may be directed towards the person with breast cancer, we pride ourselves on carving out space to provide education, community, and resources to meet your specific needs as the spouse, parent, child, or friend. Whether you recently found out that someone you love has been diagnosed with breast cancer, has experienced a recurrence or progression, or has passed away from metastatic disease, we hold space for you and want you to know that you are not alone. We are here for you! Remember that each of us manages and navigates a breast cancer diagnosis differently. What we aim to provide is a community where you can share experiences and recommendations, and learn from each other. No one is navigating this alone. Your story is someone else's lifeline.

There is healing power in positive thinking. But can you heal yourself just by being positive, optimistic and focused? Yes! It is believed that positive thoughts are able to prompt physiological changes in your body that strengthen your immune system, decrease pain, and provide stress relief. The “Power of Positive Thinking”, a self-help book by Norman Vincent Peale , published in the last century, first proposed the method of "Positive Thinking ". It aimed to ensure that one could achieve a permanent fruitful and optimistic attitude through constant positive influence of his/her conscious thought. This was to be accomplished through affirmations/visualizations, thus allowing one to attain higher satisfaction and quality of life. Similarly, in the book, “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, the Law of Attraction is explored and suggests that whatever energy, thoughts, or visualizations you put out into the universe, you will receive. So, if you send out negative vibes, or think something negative will happen, it probably will. If you send out positive vibes, positive things will be returned. How to Develop Positive Beliefs Start by applying the right kind of positive thinking so that you direct your subconscious mind to help heal your body and improve your life. Direct your conscious and subconscious mind to help you heal. Don’t worry. "Worry only takes the joy out of your day". Find a way to focus on the positive. What are you grateful for? Start a mental list of the things and people in your life that you are thankful for. Be optimistic. On Demand Meditation Cannot make a live class. No worries, we got you covered.

Breast Cancer & Intimacy Sex After Breast Cancer? In a previous blog and podcast we opined on the difficulties of maintaining relationships with loved ones, family, spouses, partners, etc. following a breast cancer diagnosis. Now we look at the adversarial effects of breast cancer towards sexual intimacy. Many, although not all, women find that breast cancer treatment, I.e. surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, estrogen eliminating hormonal therapy, severely hampers intimate sexual relations. Poor self image, physical exhaustion, painful treatment, and emotional distress all tend to weigh in negatively regarding sex drive. But overall recovery from breast cancer is partially dependent on overcoming the above referenced issues and participating in warm loving sexual acts. Sex can thus play a pivotal role. As we have mentioned in previous posts, single women who have been diagnosed worry how breast cancer will affect their relationship prospects, and also about how and when to tell those prospective lovers about their condition. The most uncomfortable stuff to talk about is probably your sex life and the changes that have taken place with your illness. You may not know what needs fixing or how to fix it, but you know things are different. Many women report having less sex than before their illness, for several reasons: • The breast cancer experience slows down your body. It takes longer to do lots of things, including getting interested in and starting and finishing sexual intercourse. • Sex may be uncomfortable or even painful if you've been thrown into sudden onset menopause. No surprise that you tend to have less sex, for now. Many women may have had little or no sex from the time of diagnosis through treatment. Most people have wild ideas about what goes on in other people's bedrooms. Give yourself a break: The carefully researched book Sex in America (by Michael, Gagnon, Laumann, and Kolata) tells us that Americans have a lot less sex than the movies, television, and the guys in the locker room would have you believe. The averages reported in that book are: • seven times a month between ages 30 and 40 • six times a month between ages 40 and 50 • five times a month between ages 50 and 60 For people over 60, the numbers continue to decline. But although you may assume that no one in their 70s and 80s has a sex life, that's just not so. Don't let the myths about other people's sex lives get in the way of what's happening in yours. And remember that there are exceptions to every pattern. If your sex life is not working the way you want it to, your doctor or nurse may be able to referee these issues with your partner and you. You can cue your doctor in advance, since he or she has most likely already touched on delicate issues with you. Maybe he or she can be the tour guide for the two of you. If your partner is there when you talk with the doctor who's managing your care, you and your partner both get a chance to air and dispel fears, and replace myths and false information with facts. Help from a pro Not all doctors and nurses are comfortable discussing sexual issues and practices. Most doctors don't routinely ask about your sex life. And patients don't usually begin to discuss their love life with a doctor who hasn't mentioned it. Nobody's talking! Someone has to break the pattern. A trained social worker, sex therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist can help you open up communication with your partner and get around to talking about intimacy and sex issues. A support group may be more helpful than you might realize. Women in these groups often share advice that extends to the bedroom, including ways to increase sexual pleasure that are explicit and specific for women who've had breast cancer. Meeting needs in other ways Most marriages have problems that don't get fixed. Marriage is a package deal, and in marriages that work, the good things outweigh the bad. But as a survivor, you may find that breast cancer highlights the problems in your marriage. Can you live with those problems? Can you enjoy your marriage even as you contemplate what's missing? Can you capture the missing pieces in other ways? Give serious thought to your needs and how to meet them. Other ways to meet your needs: • Fantasy can enrich your life. Countless women read to fill the vacuum (romance novels are enormously popular). • Join a book club, a church or synagogue, or a group that meets to discuss investments, movies, or local politics. • Do more with individual friends, like walking, shopping ("retail therapy"), or travel. • Make a bigger deal of birthdays and anniversaries. • Expand your involvement in community or spiritual activities. • Get politically active in the breast cancer movement: camaraderie for a cause close to your heart. Having a serious illness almost always takes some kind of toll on your sex life. But breast cancer can bring all thoughts of intimacy and sexuality to a screeching halt. Treatments can bring on temporary -- and sometimes permanent -- premature menopause, making intercourse painful. Chemotherapy and radiation often lead to crushing fatigue. You may want to stay in bed, but you don’t want to use it for anything but sleep. The medications you take, as well as the emotional effects of the disease, can lead to depression. And of course, from the changes wrought by surgery to the hair loss and puffiness of chemotherapy, breast cancer can have a devastating effect on your body image and your ability to feel sexy. The sexual side effects of breast cancer can linger long after treatment stops. A 2007 follow-up report on young breast cancer survivors, conducted by researchers at the University of California-Berkeley, found that some women reported persistent sexual difficulties five years after their treatment had ended. And according to the National Cancer Institute, about one out of every two women who’ve undergone breast cancer treatment experiences long-term sexual dysfunction. That’s the bad news. But the good news is there is sex after breast cancer! Sex and self-image Breast cancer changes the way you see your body. “Women sometimes feel very disconnected from their bodies when they go through this,” says Jean Carter, PhD. Carter is a licensed psychologist and the sexual health counselor for the sexual health program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. “Your body’s been through so much and it’s worked to get well,” she says. ”But there have been sacrifices.” One thing you need to know early on is that your partner still finds you attractive and desirable. That’s rough on the days when you look in the mirror and can’t imagine ever feeling sexy again, much less looking sexy to someone else. It’s important to prepare yourself and your partner for what you’ll see. If you haven’t yet had surgery, ask your breast center if they have photographs of women after the kind of surgery you’ll undergo. Look at them with your partner and talk about what to expect. There's no denying that the sexual side effects of breast cancer can linger long after treatment is over, but there is sex after breast cancer. Lumpectomies, Mastectomies, Breast Reconstructions and Thoughts on Body Image. It was created by women in a cancer survivors’ group at Penn State. “The way your partner looks at your incision for the first time,” says Lillie Shockney, RN, “you’ll remember that forever.” Shockney is administrative director of the Johns Hopkins Breast Center and a breast cancer survivor herself. “If he has no clue what to expect and has a puzzled look on his face, the woman may interpret it as ‘He thinks I’m ugly, he thinks this is awful.’ Showing photographs can take the surprise away.” Communication is important. Talk with your partner about what you’re comfortable with, and what you’re not. “Both partners may be waiting for the other one to make the first move,” says Shockney. “She’s waiting for him to tell her he wants sex, and he’s waiting for her to touch him.” Your partner may be afraid of hurting you, or afraid that you’ll think he’s pushing you to have sex when you’re not ready simply by asking about it. If your breasts were major erogenous zones for you before surgery, you may be feeling particularly bereft after a mastectomy or even a lumpectomy . Shockney suggests taking the pressure off by exploring and discovering other areas of your body, rather than trying to “force it” in areas where you still have performance or body image issues. “For some women, the diminished arousal in areas of a newly constructed breast or scar tissue might serve as a painful reminder that their sex life has changed,” Shockney says. Instead, think of areas like shoulders, ears, and knees as new hot spots for intimate touch. If you’re still not comfortable with your new body, that’s what lingerie is for! There’s nothing wrong with getting a little help. A soft, satin nightie can be sexy and arousing. At the same time, it can help to conceal areas you’re still shy about. Or you can get even more creative. “I asked a patient to try using a feather boa to help her feel sexy, and at the same time keep her scars from being so evident. She loves it!” says Shockney. “It’s all about finding what you’re comfortable with.” Coping with changes But even as you get comfortable with the “new you” in the mirror, other parts of your body may be causing you problems in the bedroom. You may go through temporary menopause because of chemotherapy. Or if you have estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, you may be taking hormonal therapy that can leave you in a menopausal state for years. The resulting vaginal dryness and other symptoms may make it painful to even think about having sex. “A lot of women I see are afraid to have sex,” Carter tells WebMD. “They’re really struggling. And it’s a shame, because there are wonderful, simple strategies to improve your sexual experience that, taken together, can work wonders.” Vaginal moisturizers. These aren’t lubricants, which are meant to be used during sex. Instead, they’re like the moisturizers you use on your face and hands, to benefit the tissues themselves. “They’re introduced as a suppository into the vagina adding moisture back into the vaginal space and giving it that natural elasticity,” says Carter. “It’s meant to be absorbed, and it helps the vagina to have more health and moisture for several days.” Lubricants. You definitely still want a lubricant for use during intercourse, says Carter. But lubricants should be combined with regular, ongoing use of vaginal moisturizers for best results. “If you’re feeling a rubbing or burning sensation during intercourse,” Carter says, “you don’t have enough lubrication. If it’s a stretching , painful sensation like the skin is going to split, you don’t have enough moisture.” Exercises. The classic Kegel exercises -- tightening and releasing the sphincter muscle as you do when you urinate -- that so many women use during pregnancy are also great for making intercourse easier. “If intercourse has been painful,” Carter says, “you may tighten up in anticipation of the pain. If you do Kegels right before intimacy , you fatigue the vaginal muscles and it is more open.” Vaginal dilators. A sex therapist, like Dr. Carter, can teach you how to use these dilators, which help gently stretch the vaginal tissue. Over and over again,” Carter says, “I’ve seen women who are completely hormonally deprived be able to have comfortable, enjoyable intimacy by using these strategies. A lot of the time, it’s so easy to fix. It astonishes me how often women come into my office and ask, ‘Why didn’t anyone tell me this? Shockney advises her patients to shake up their previous sexual habits. She tells them they may have been a silent player in bed before. But now she wants them to speak up. She tells them, “Say, ‘This feels good. This doesn’t feel good.’ Don’t rely on grunting for him to figure it out. That’s not the best way to communicate.” She also tells her patients, “If you’ve never watched an x-rated movie, try one -- just one. It may jump-start things, and you’ll be amazed at how active you’ll become. Or try various sex toys. So what if you never did these things before. You never had breast cancer before, either! I’ve had women come to me and say ‘I thought my sex life was great before, and then I thought I was going to lose it. But now it’s better than ever.’” What's the Difference between Diet and Nutrition? On Breast Cancer Conversations, the Podcast Listen Now

For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women.

About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2021, an estimated 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 49,290 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. About 2,650 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2021. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 833. About 43,600 women in the U.S. are expected to die in 2021 from breast cancer. Death rates have been steady in women under 50 since 2007, but have continued to drop in women over 50. The overall death rate from breast cancer decreased by 1% per year from 2013 to 2018. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances and earlier detection through screening. Understandng Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Statistics Breast Cancer Symptoms Risk Factors Geneic Testing Breast Desnity For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. As of January 2021, there are more than 3.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. In 2021, it's estimated that about 30% of newly diagnosed cancers in women will be breast cancers. Breast cancer became the most common cancer globally as of 2021, accounting for 12% of all new annual cancer cases worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. In women under 45, breast cancer is more common in Black women than white women. Overall, Black women are more likely to die of breast cancer. For Asian, Hispanic, and Native-American women, the risk of developing and dying from breast cancer is lower. Ashkenazi Jewish women have a higher risk of breast cancer because of a higher rate of BRCA mutations. Breast cancer incidence rates in the U.S. began decreasing in the year 2000, after increasing for the previous two decades. They dropped by 7% from 2002 to 2003 alone. One theory is that this decrease was partially due to the reduced use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by women after the results of a large study called the Women’s Health Initiative were published in 2002. These results suggested a connection between HRT and increased breast cancer risk. In recent years, incidence rates have increased slightly by 0.5% per year. A woman’s risk of breast cancer nearly doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Less than 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it. About 5-10% of breast cancers can be linked to known gene mutations inherited from one’s mother or father. Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most common. On average, women with a BRCA1 mutation have up to a 72% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. For women with a BRCA2 mutation, the risk is 69%. Breast cancer that is positive for the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations tends to develop more often in younger women. An increased ovarian cancer risk is also associated with these genetic mutations. In men, BRCA2 mutations are associated with a lifetime breast cancer risk of about 6.8%; BRCA1 mutations are a less frequent cause of breast cancer in men. About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic mutations that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations. The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are sex (being a woman) and age (growing older). References American Cancer Society. How Common Is Breast Cancer? Jan. 2021.
