Will the removal of the breast cancer to avoid Angelina Jolie?

Two weeks ago, Angelina Jolie has a set of procedures that make up a mastectomy. So is the removal of breasts. Or to put it simply - the chest.

 

Angelina decided to remove both breasts after she learned that the probability of breast cancer is high and it is 87%. Geneticists have found out that she is a carrier of the gene BRCA1, which often includes developing cancer .

 

Can the rescue operation on the chest of cancer told "Komsomolskaya Pravda" PhD, a breast oncologist Irina Smirnitsky:

 

- Of course, we are not at liberty to discuss it, whether Angelina made that removed the breast. So, on that there were compelling medical reasons. Hereditary predisposition to breast cancer has been proven in the 80's of the 20th century. What, then, by the way, has provoked an epidemic in the United States the whole mastectomy (ie, operations to remove the breast). Even completely healthy women insisted on the operation. Now knowledge about cancer has increased, and similar operations are carried out only on special indications.

 

We Jolie, as she says, has been found destructive gene responsible for the risk of developing breast cancer. Her mother died just from the disease. In addition, as the media wrote some time ago, the actress is suffering from hepatitis, which also weakens the body's immune defenses.

 

Of course, Angelina herself asked not to cut off her breasts. I think ever since the disease mother, she regularly delivers tests for tumor markers (by the way, in the U.S. in some states, these analyzes are required, especially if breast cancer in a close relative by blood). According to the results of tests oncologists identify the risk of developing the disease in the near future. We Jolie risk was 87%. In such a situation, the removal of the glandular tissue of the breast is really seriously reduces the chance of developing cancer. But it is very individual.

Do not panic, they say, if we Jolie was left without a breast, I'll go and I'll cut yourself something. But should be checked regularly. Breast cancer - the most common cancer diseases among women in our country. But at the initial stage it is completely curable. Modern mammography shows the tumor is less than 0.5 cm For all women over 40 years of very desirable once a year to do a mammogram and breast ultrasound. If there is a risk (family history, breast or other breast disease), it is also held once a year test for tumor markers. And I repeat: do not be afraid to be tested, the cancer feeds on our fear of it.

Firmer breasts without bra

Half of women do without them, and the rest did not even see them in front of them. A new study caused many reactions worldwide concludes that from a medical standpoint, the right is on the side of the latter.

As announced in the French press. Dr. Jean-Denis Rouigion, professor of sports medicine at the University of Besancon, the bra not only reduce their back pain, but continued support to the breast causes more relaxation.

This conclusion comes from the observation for over 15 years 320 volunteers, with any size breasts. At the start of the study, the volunteers were aged 18-35 years.

"From a medical, anatomical and physiological standpoint, the breasts have nothing to gain by being deprived of gravity," said Dr. Rouigion. "On the contrary, relax more with the continuous use of bra."

The course of study, he continued, is that "bras are necessarily wrong."

Dr. Rouigion and colleagues spent years carefully measuring and recording the changes in position of the breasts of their volunteers, which were treated at the University Hospital Center of Besancon.

Of all the women were asked at some point to stop wearing bras for periods ranging from a few months to several years. In these time intervals, the researchers recorded any discomfort that may have had on their back, and any problems they face in their daily lives because of not using bra.

As the researchers found, periods when women did not wear bras "the nipples lifted at 7 mm on average each year in line with the shoulders."

Dr. Rouigion said that 42% of women "discomfort" for the first three months were not wearing bras, but after you get used to.

However, none have reported back pain in the middle or obstacles in everyday life (including exercise), due to the lack of bra.

Based on these findings. Dr. Rouigion concluded that "the absence of bra can hold the breasts in good physical condition" and "perhaps to prevent the discomfort in the back."

"The idea of not using bra is repulsive for many women, for reasons of convenience and aesthetics," he said. 'However, unlike what most people think, the chest will not fall but will tighten and rectified without him while skin quality will improve."

Nevertheless, Dr. Rouigion hastened to add that we should not rush the women to throw away their bras because the study was small and did not last several decades to become viable long-term effects of not using bra.
