Recent study found that pregnant women suffering from breast cancer, the face of death and the risk of recurrence of cancer, no less than other young breast cancer patients is far greater. Earlier small-scale survey that pregnancy will breast cancer patients got worse, but this time the largest investigation concluded the opposite. U.S. University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Bi Deer, said: “If found early, you can get both adults and children’s treatment outcomes.” Generally speaking, pregnant women in particular, fear of suffering from breast cancer, because both the treatment and to avoid harm to the mother to the fetus. Some doctors suggested pregnant women, abortion, in order to concentrate on treatment of the mother.
Bi Deer Study Group, “Cancer” magazine published a survey report, the team analyzed the period from 1973 to 2006 at the Anderson Cancer Center treated 652 patients with breast cancer information. Age of these patients are under 35 years of age or less, including those of 104 pregnant women. Of which 51 were diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy and another 53 people in a year suffer from this disease. The researchers investigated the cancer in women, after 10 consecutive years of follow-up data, found that cancer recurrence, proliferation and survival of these patients is basically the same with other breast cancer patients. The survey also found that pregnant women with advanced breast cancer is usually already found, this may be because patients and doctors have overlooked the breast changes.
Breast cancer for young women against a larger, and their survival is also significantly lower. Medical personnel to the view that age may be pathological factors, it is unclear how the pregnancy is not one of the reasons. Bi Deer said, in the latest survey, pregnant women found no evidence of tumor growth relatively quickly.
