Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Australia. It is also the second most common cancer that kills women, after lung cancer.
Breast cancer pills is when the cells that line the lobules or ducts of the breast grow in a strange way. These cells keep growing without stopping, and they could spread to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can happen to both men and women, but it happens to men less often. People who are not women or men can also get breast cancer.
People who are transgender or have different genders can also get breast cancer. A transgender woman who takes medicine to lower her male hormones and raise her female hormones may be more likely to get breast cancer.
In 2022, it is expected that more than 20,600 people will be told they have breast cancer. The average age at which it is found is 62.
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer diagnosed in Australia. About 1 in 8 women and 1 in 668 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the time they are 85.
Signs of breast cancer
Some people don’t know they have cancer until a screening mammogram or a doctor’s physical exam finds it.
If you do have signs of something wrong, they could be:
new lumps or thickening in the breast, especially if only in one breast
sores on the nose, a change in the shape of the nose
discharge from the nipple or turning in
size or shape changes in the breasts
dents in the breast skin
Having armpit pain or swelling
rashes or swollen, red breasts
Pain that lasts longer than your period and isn’t related to your period. It only happens in one breast.
Why women get breast cancer?
Some things that make you more likely to get breast cancer are:
Getting older
family backgroun
exposure to female hormones (natural and administered)
beginning your period before you turn 12
a breast cancer diagnosis in the past
a history of certain breast conditions that are not cancerous.
Men and women can also have a slightly higher chance of getting breast cancer if they do things like:
being overweight, not getting enough exercise, having a drink.
There’s also a link between some benign breast diseases and having been exposed to radiation in the past.
Arimidex 1 mg is used to treat breast cancer in women after menopause.Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Anastrozole decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers.
