WHO: Cell Phone Use May Increase Brain Cancer Risk
Cell phone use may put you at risk of developing brain tumors, according to a news release from the World Health Organization. The organization formed a panel of experts who analyzed evidence ?on the link between cell phones and brain tumors. The group concluded that cell phones may increase a user's risk of gliomas, a malignant type of brain tumor.
It is important to note that this conclusion is not based on a new study, but several different studies. Past research on the association between brain tumors and cell phone use has been inconsistent. Some studies have found a link, others have not.
What Does This Mean for You?
Before you terminate your contract with wireless service provider, know that this classification does not mean that you will get cancer if you use a cell phone. It means that there may be an association, but more research need to be conducted to determine a definitive link. If future studies find a definitive link, then cell phones would likely be upgraded from 'possibly carcinogenic' to 'carcinogenic'.Tuesday, 14 June 2011

Less Alcohol Means Less Breast Cancer
Next time you want to "drink pink" just order grapefruit, papaya, or pomegranate juice - without alcohol.? Australian researchers recently crunched the data on alcohol and cancer, finding that 20 percent of breast cancer cases were linked to alcohol use.? That means that for every 5 people diagnosed with breast cancer, one of them will have overused alcohol.
Professor Ian Olver of the Australian Cancer Council calls alcohol a Class 1 carcinogen, comparing its negative health effects to tobacco or asbestos.? Olver said, "We know alcohol does interfere with the balance of female hormones, so there is a very strong link with how it could cause something like breast cancer, but we didn't expect it to be quite that high."? The majority of breast tumors are fueled by estrogen and progesterone.? Drinking any amount of alcohol, especially daily drinking, causes your hormone levels to rise, and exposes your breast tissue to a greater risk for cancer.
So, to lower your risk of breast cancer, empty your glass! And I don't mean putting away another glass of beer, wine, or liquor.? The Cancer Council thought that 2 drinks a day was not harmful - until they did this study.? Now they say that there is no safe level for alcohol intake.? It has long been known that alcohol can cause cancers of the liver, head and neck, esophagus and mouth, breast and bowel.? If you cut down on alcohol, or stop drinking it altogether, you can lower your risk for all these cancers.

I've continued learning about dealing with breast cancer - and many of my readers have taught me from their own wisdom.? The more we know, the better we can fight this cancer, and perhaps someday, it will be totally preventable.
At first, I did not expect to survive breast cancer - everyone I had known with that diagnosis had suffered and died.? My husband's mother Nancy had fought it - twice -? for 6 years, but we eventually lost her, in 1980.? Treatments have improved since then, as have diagnostic procedures and imaging technology.? Patients have become more empowered - we get to choose between a mastectomy and a lumpectomy - instead of leaving that up our surgeons.? In the past, many women went in for a breast biopsy and didn't know if they would wake up with, or without breasts!? Before the widespread adoption of sentinel node biopsy, many women endured a full axillary dissection (nasty term!) and then suffered a lifetime of arm lymphedema.? Now the practice of having almost all your lymph nodes removed to be tested for metastasis is fading - thank goodness!
Best of all, more and more of us are becoming breast cancer survivors.? In fact, the National Cancer Institute says that there are about 2.5 million of us living 5 or more years after being diagnosed with breast cancer.? In addition, we survive longer than previous generations did.
So how did I celebrate?? Just by doing normal things - went to church, made lunch at home, did some yardwork, and played with our little dogs.? All of these things are nice, everyday occupations - and I am so happy to still be around to enjoy them!? I had my 85-year old father and my wonderful husband to spend the day with, and then had internet time with my sister.? Such moments I no longer take for granted.? I am not grateful that I had breast cancer - so that's not what I celebrate.? It is survival and endurance I enjoy, and that's what I am thankful for today.
How do you celebrate a cancerversary?

Smoking Raises Breast Cancer Risk For Postmenopausal Women
A new study based on 80,000 postmenopausal women found that first hand and second hand smoking raises the risk of breast cancer.? The study was done by Dr Juhua Luo from West Virginia University and Dr Karen Margolis from the HealthPartners Research Foundation, and published in the British Medical Journal.? Luo and Margolis analysed data from 80,000 women who were aged between 50 and 79 years.? The data came from Women's Health Initiative Observational Study of 1993-98, and included patients from 40 clinics around the United States.? Ten years after the data was taken, 3,250 women developed cases of invasive breast cancer.
The study results demonstrate that smokers have a 16% greater risk of developing postmenopausal breast cancer, compared to women who had never smoked.? Former smokers have an average of 9% increased risk for breast cancer, but the risk was worst for women who smoked since their teen years, or for 50 years or longer.? Even 20 years after a woman stops smoking, her risk remains higher than the lifetime average risk for breast cancer.
Some of the women in this study had never smoked, but had been exposed to secondhand smoke.? Those who had been exposed extensively to passive smoking for 10 years during childhood, 20 years during adulthood at home, or 10 years as an adult in the workplace had a 32% excess risk of breast cancer.? So if you had a parent that smoked when you were a kid, or a spouse or partner who smoked at home, or coworkers who smoked around you on the job, they haven't done you any favors.
Dr Karen Margolis thinks that we'd all be healthier if none of us smoked at any stage of life.? "Our findings highlight the need for interventions to prevent initiation of smoking, especially at an early age, and to encourage smoking cessation at all ages."? The bottom line is: don't smoke, avoid those who do smoke, and get help to stop smoking.? A lower than average risk of breast cancer is just one benefit you get when you stop smoking, there are many more good things about giving up smoke.
Chemo for Breast Cancer Threatens Fertility in Young Women
Cathy was just 22 when she was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma.? To make things worse, it was a high-grade tumor and HER2 positive.? With support from her mother and her boyfriend, Cathy took some heavy-duty chemo after her lumpectomy, then had radiation.? She didn't lose her breast, but she did lose her hair.? One of her chemo drugs, Taxotere, affected her female hormones, her menstrual cycle, and her fertility.
Several chemotherapy drugs can temporarily or permanently switch off your fertility.? If you are pre-menopausal at diagnosis and nowhere near the change of life, be sure to discuss your fertility options with your oncologist.? Have this discussion before anybody sticks a needle into you!? Too many young women were not warned before they started chemo, not knowing that their fertility might be compromised.? Of course, we think first of our own survival when faced a breast cancer diagnosis.? Future fertility might not seem that important at the time you're making treatment decisions.? But it is indeed an important time to plan, not only for survival, but also for your life after treatment and the possibility of children.
You do have several options for preserving your fertility after chemo.? Ask your oncologist about Lupron injections to prevent ovulation during chemo.? Visit a fertility specialist and see what your options for freezing eggs or tissue for future fertility.??? Many women have found that their fertility returned after treatment for breast cancer, and went on to have children.? The good news is that having a child after breast cancer does not raise your risk of recurrence!
So if you are a young woman who is newly diagnosed with breast cancer, be your own best advocate. Ask lots of questions about your treatment options and how those will affect your future fertility.? Will your chemo drugs push you into early menopause?? How can your doctor help preserve your fertility?? Make sure you plan well and get the proper help you need for your life after breast cancer.? There are now about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in America right now - we are of all ages and races.? Reach out for support - not just for today - but also for your future!

Breast Health And Hormonal Contraception
Breast Pain and Birth Control PillsArt ? Pam Stephan
Breasts don't stay the same all your life.? Hormonal cycles, weight gain, and pregnancy may affect the shape, size, and texture of your breasts.? Even your contraception choices may affect your breasts.? If you use hormonal contraception - more simply called "The Pill" then you may have noticed how it affects your menstrual cycles.? But did you know that the hormones in birth control pills also affect your breast health?
This month, About.com is having a blog carnival on the topic of Contraception and Your Overall Health.? Many women in their fertile years are juggling careers, education, relationships, and motherhood.? Birth control pills are often a part of that picture, while they might not be for others.? The synthetic hormones - estrogen and progestin - in combination birth control pills and minipills effect not just your reproductive health, but your overall health.? So when making a decision about taking The Pill, consider the big picture.
Birth control pills may be prescribed to help with breast pain or irregular menstrual periods.? In some cases, the use of birth control pills helps regulate hormonal cycles and prepares the way for conception - once they are discontinued.? But there are other health benefits and risks associated with The Pill.
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), using the synthetic hormones in oral contraceptives lowers your risk for endometrial and ovarian cancers.? NCI also studied the effect of The Pill on risk for breast cancer.? Most breast tumors are fueled by estrogen, and many tumors also use progesterone to grow.? For young women, particularly those who began using The Pill as teenagers, the lifetime risk for developing breast cancer was greater than average. Condoms and spermicides or abstinence might be safer contraception options for women in their teens and twenties.? Family history of breast cancer, race, location, and economic status didn't affect their breast cancer risk - only the addition of synthetic hormones appeared to raise these young women's risk.? Women over 20 who used The Pill had a slightly increased risk for breast cancer, but the study found that 5 to 10 years after stopping The Pill, their risk returned to the lifetime average for their age group.
So while hormonal contraception can be good for cyclical breast pain and prevention of endometrial and ovarian cancers, The Pill does comes with some risk.? If you're considering using birth control pills, discuss your risks and benefits with your doctor before requesting a prescription.? Be sure to do your breast self-exam monthly, and stay current on your screening mammograms.? If you are diagnosed with breast cancer while taking The Pill, stop using it right away.

Discrimination Against Breast Cancer Survivors
In Durham, North Carolina, Alaina Giordano a young mother of two, with Stage 4 breast cancer, has been told to give up her children to her ex-husband. Her health and finances were cited as one reason for the judge's decision.
On the coast in Seattle, Korean Airlines turned away Mimi Kim, a metastatic breast cancer patient, who only wanted to return to her birthplace to spend her final months among family. Mrs. Kim looked too frail to survive the flight, according to Korean Air.? Delta Airlines looked over her doctor's note and upgraded Mrs. Kim to first class and flew her home.
Ruth Ann Swenson, a soprano formerly with the Metropolitan Opera, was passed over for leading roles after her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis.? When she recovered her stamina, Ms. Swenson toured Europe and America, showing no loss of quality in her voice.
In the windy city of Chicago, Mary Ellen Hintz went to renew her apartment lease and was told by her landlord that because she has terminal breast cancer, she may have a lease agreement for only one month at a time.? Ms. Hintz's landlord said he thought her treatments caused such severe chemobrain that she might not be lucid enough to sign contracts or pay her bills.
Sometimes, when discrimination looks like it's really about money, it may be primarily about fear.? Modern society doesn't have good ways of dealing with Cancerophobia.? Even with cancer rates as high as they are, sometimes it seems like the average person doesn't know how to react or support a friend or coworker or even a spouse recently diagnosed with breast cancer.? Some women feel shunned by their friends, as if they've suddenly become contagious, or done something immoral that resulted in cancer.
I think it comes down to the ultimate:? fear of death.? Despite decades of awareness-raising, patient education, improved treatments, and higher survival rates, there seems to be this persistent perception that a breast cancer diagnosis is an automatic death sentence.? And that may be linked to the misconception that all breast cancers are alike (they aren't) and all treatments are severe and disabling (it varies).
We as educated patients and breast cancer survivors have to face our prognosis daily.? We deal with our fears, our possible outcomes, our side effects, finances, and relationships every day.? Landlords, airline agents, divorce lawyers, and opera managers seem to have other priorities.? Breast cancer survivors - no matter what stage they have - should not have to fight for rights and privileges that are freely given to people who appear healthier.? We should not have to lawyer up and battle back against uneducated cancerphobes.
So be sure to know your rights as a person and as an empowered cancer patient and survivor.? You can't be fired for having breast cancer. If you have health insurance, you don't have to lose it; and you can apply for assistance.? If you're going to travel during treatment, prepare notes from your doctor and bring those along.? Mimi Kim knew what she wanted - and she knew it was within her reach.? Cancer wasn't going to reduce her to less than a full person, denied the civility and respect that should be routine.? Mrs. Kim went home first class, and was greeted with cheers.? Now that's my idea of respect and proper treatment!
Have you ever been discriminated against because of breast cancer? Please leave a comment below.
Obesity Linked To Higher Risk For Breast Cancer
In our super-sized western society, with lots of fast, fat-loaded food available on every corner, obesity has become an established problem.? We know that obesity affects our health - and our children's health - in terms of quality of life and risk for many diseases.? Extra weight overloads the body and all its systems, leading to diabetes, high blood pressure, back pain, higher levels of estrogen, and increased risk for cancer.? The Cancer Advocacy Coalition of Canada believes that many thousand cases of newly diagnosed breast cancer may be prevented if better diets and regular exercise were promoted across the country.
Many of us eat too much animal fat, processed grains and refined sugars.? We avoid vegetables and fruits except as incidental side dishes.? We line up for fried foods and guzzle down sweet drinks so often that it seems normal.? Once we're loaded down with calories from this kind of diet, we don't burn it off, or use our bodies with healthy exercise.? Instead, we watch television and stare at computers or other small screens.? We drink more alcohol that we should and probably don't keep count of how many ounces of alcoholic calories we consume in a week or a month.? All this adds up to lack of good health awareness and increased risk for breast, colon, uterus, kidney and esophageal cancers.
What would it take - short of being diagnosed with breast cancer (or any cancer) for us to come to grips with our hazardous health habits?? What would it take for us to demand better education of our families and society about the effect of diet and inactivity on health?? The national and personal cost of cancer - any type of cancer - is very high.? What is needed, to get the simple message out?
If you are slim, stay that way, and keep active.? Eat carefully - your food and drink choices shape your health.? If you are carrying extra pounds, get help from your doctor to lose weight and consult a nutritionist to get a proper diet plan.? Every extra pound on your body stores hormones that can fuel breast tumors.? Even after menopause, when hormone levels fall - your extra fat tissue holds enough estrogen to cause concern.
So drop it. Drop the extra weight.? Get off the couch, out of the easy chair, hit the jogging trail or gym, and learn how to eat the anticancer diet.? Prevention is worth the work it takes to spare yourself a cancer journey.

Breast Pain: Should You Worry?
Painful BreastArt ? Sebastian Kaulitzki
Breast pain in the era of Pink Ribbon Awareness campaigns is really disturbing.? Most of us instantly worry, "Is my breast pain a symptom of breast cancer?"? Even men with breast pain may get worried about their own breast health.? Pain in both breasts or a sharp pain in just one breast may send us scurrying to the bathroom to do a quick breast self exam.? Suddenly every little bump, bruise, and hair follicle on your breast skin seems ominous and important.
Even when we've heard the statistics about 80% of all breast lumps being benign, when a lump or bump or odd rash is bothering our own breasts, its very hard to remain calm.? So take a deep breath and slow down, because I have good news for you.? Most breast pain is not related to breast cancer. ? There are many benign breast conditions - many of which can cause breast tenderness, aching, swelling,? lumps, shooting pain, and even nipple discharge.? Once you figure out if your breast pain may be hormonal or non cyclical, you can use some home care to alleviate the pain - or you can call your doctor for help.
But the flip side of the good news is the bad news:? since breast cancer rarely causes pain, it can sneak up on you, if you aren't aware of your breast health, or you aren't being regular about your self-exams and annual screenings.? That is why you need to know about your family health history, your personal risk factors, and what healthy choices you can make to reduce your risk.? So its okay to have breast pain, if you take care to treat your breasts right.? Get your doctor's help when home care doesn't reduce your breast pain, and remember that those twinges and tenderness most likely are not breast cancer.
Discuss: What is the worst thing about breast pain?
Parsley Is Important In Fight Against Breast Cancer
The humble green, parsley, that is used for garnish is suddenly the star of your dinner plate.? Recent research shows that apigenin - a compound in parsley and celery - can stop certain breast cancer tumor cells from multiplying and growing.? Apigenin doesn't prevent breast cancer from developing, but it can prevent tumor angiogenesis by blocking synthetic progestin.
Dr. Salman Hyder, who studies tumor angiogenesis in lab animals, found that rats with breast cancer grew fewer breast tumors if they consumed parsley, celery, apples, oranges and nuts containing apigenin.? The rats in this study had also been exposed to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) - synthetic hormones prescribed to relieve symptoms of menopause.? About 10 million women in America take HRT.? Dr Hyder said, "We know that certain synthetic hormones used in HRT accelerate breast tumor development. In our study, we exposed the rats to one of the chemicals used in the most common HRTs received in the United States - a progestin called medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) - which also happens to be the same synthetic hormone that accelerates breast tumor development."
Breast tumors need a blood supply and nutrients to maintain themselves and to grow.? Tumors can hijack your blood supply by creating their own system of blood vessels, diverting the circulation of life-giving food and oxygen to healthy tissue.? Once a steady stream of nutrition for tumors is established, their growth and spread are harder to combat.? Oncologists use Avastin (Bevacizumab), a targeted biological therapy, in combination with chemotherapy drugs, to prevent tumor angiogenesis.
So how much of that curly green garnish should we be eating?? Dr. Hyder explains that we don't absorb apigenin very efficiently from just eating parsley and celery.? He plans to do further study on the amount of apigenin that would be effective.? For now, he says, "However, it appears that keeping a minimal level of apigenin in the bloodstream is important to delay the onset of breast cancer that progresses in response to (synthetic) progestins such as MPA (medroxyprogesterone acetate). It's probably a good idea to eat a little parsley and some fruit every day to ensure the minimal amount."? Dr Hyder's study was published recently in Cancer Prevention Research.
Some easy ways to get a daily dose of parsley or celery would be to have a dish of tabouli (you get a bonus of whole grains!), pasta with fresh walnut parsley pesto, or a beautiful serving of omega-3 rich parsley-crusted salmon. However you slice it or serve it, parsley and other foods that contain anti-cancer apigenin should become part of your diet for prevention of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Cells Starved By Diabetes Drug
Metformin, a drug prescribed for type 2 diabetes, appears to starve breast cancer cells by denying them access to high-energy nutrients.? The relationship between metformin and breast cancer treatment has been studied for several years, and has been tested in the lab along with Adriamycin on breast cancer stem cells.? It appears to boost the effectiveness of Adriamycin treatment for hormone-sensitive breast cancer, as well as HER2-positive and triple-negative breast tumors.
A new study supported by Breakthrough Breast Cancer has been aimed at developing a test to determine which patients with breast cancer would benefit most from a treatment plan using metformin.? The study was led by Dr. Michael Lisanti of Thomas Jefferson University and Dr. Anthony Howell of the University of Manchester.? Dr Howell explained that, "Some cancer cells are fed by healthy cells.? We discovered an agent that would block that.? It is Metformin, a common drug used to treat diabetes."? When asked how this will help breast cancer patients, he replied, ""The potential benefit is that it will stop the cancer cell being fed by the normal cell and then the cancer cell won't grow."? Dr. Howell also noted that Metformin is relatively inexpensive, especially compared to standard chemotherapy drugs.
Women who are diagnosed with aggressive forms of breast cancer may someday be tested to see if Metformin will stop the growth and recurrence of their cancer.? If their tumor responds to the diabetes drug, then they may take personalized treatment, based specifically on the type of tumor and the fuel it requires to grow.? Dr. Howell said, "This is terrifically exciting. It is a step towards having each patient get the right treatment for them - what we call personalized medicine. We are looking at a new way to separate patients based on who should respond well to the treatments we have, and who might need something different."
Metformin is readily available and each pill costs about 10 pence in the United Kingdom or roughly 16 cents in the United States.? The results of Lisanti and Howell's study was published in the journal Cell Cycle.
