Breast Cancer Prevention

Breast Cancer Prevention
Many risk factors that can not be controlled. However, some experts in diet and cancer experts believe that changes in diet and lifestyle, in general can reduce the occurrence of cancer. Currently, the factors that proved to play an important role in the process of tumor is estrogen.

Estrogen is a secondary sex hormone that serves to shape and mature the female genital organs, including breasts, during puberty. Estrogen triggers the growth and maturation of cells in the female genital organs called duct cells.

Duct cell will then divide normally. Moments of duct cell maturation is the most vulnerable time for the cell is exposed to mutation. If there is one cell to mutate due to hereditary factors, radiation, free radicals, etc., then these cells may divide excessively which in turn will develop into cancer.

From this it can be concluded that estrogen is one factor that is responsible for the risk of breast cancer. Here are some preventive measures that can be done in order to avoid breast cancer:
1. Make early detection (checking himself) every month after the menstrual period and clinical examination (mammography and biopsy).
2. Avoid eating foods that are high in fat.
3. The use of contraceptive drugs or devices containing hormones must be on doctor's instructions.
4. Feeding the baby as long as possible (until about 2 years).
5. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and soy, including processed products
Options Breast Cancer Drugs

Breast cancer treatment can be done medically or naturally. Medical treatment consists of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormone inhibitors. Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells in the affected area.

Chemotherapy (a combination of drugs to kill cells that multiply quickly or pressing breeding) and drug-hormone inhibitors (drugs that affect the hormones that promote cancer cell growth) is used to suppress the growth of cancer cells throughout the body.

But it can cause many negative side effects on the body. For example, chemotherapy cause side effects such as vulnerable to infection, fatigue, nausea, hair loss, bleeding problems such as nosebleeds, and many other negative side effects.
In hormone therapy, there are several classes of drugs that are used as a cure for cancer, it is an antiestrogen that one class of drug is Tamoxifen. Side effects include heartburn and facial flushing, gastrointestinal disorders, mild leukopenia & thrombocytopenia, vaginal bleeding, itching in the vulva / vulva (external female genitals), and skin rash.

You can also consider the treatment of breast cancer naturally. One of the anticancer natural herbs that have been proven to be effective is the Ants Nest (Myrmecodia pendans) derived from the wilderness forests of Papua. Ants Nest ability empirically as a breast cancer drug is allegedly related to the flavonoid content. There are several mechanisms of flavonoid in fighting tumors and cancer, here’s:

1. inactivation of carcinogens
Disabling active substances that cause cancer.
2. antiproliferasi
Hinder the process of multiplication of abnormal cells in cancer.
3. Inhibition of cell cycle
In cancer, there is a failure in the control of cell division cycle. Where the cells undergo rapid division and continuously. Flavonoids work by inhibiting abnormal cell cycle (cancer) .
4. Induction of apoptosis and differentiation
Stimulate cancer cell suicide process.
5. angiogenesis inhibition
Inhibits the formation of new blood vessels in cancer cells that play a role in providing food / nutrition for the development of cancer cells. If cancer cells are not getting adequate nutrition, cancer cells will die.
6. Reversal of multi-drug resistance
Flavonoids help the body avoid resistance / resistant to the drugs consumed.
