Malignant tumours most commonly occurring among men are tumours of the lungs, stomach and prostate gland among women they are tumours of the urinary sexual organs, breast and cervix.

And these preservatives had been found in breast cancer tumors.

Early detection and treatment of oncological diseases, with emphasis on breast cancer

Inherited Malignancy

But imagine how difficult it would be to find that tumor in this dense breast.

You can see, on the right, a mammogram showing a faint tumor, the edges of which are blurred by the dense tissue.

After we had demonstrated that we could find small tumors, we used these images to submit a grant to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

A very serious problem is breast cancer, which is the No. 1 oncological disease among women.

Now it's bad enough that breast density makes it hard to find a cancer, but it turns out that it's also a powerful predictor of your risk for breast cancer.

HANNOVER , GERMANY Breast cancer is among the most life threatening of malignancies, affecting about one in ten women in the Western world. Taking the family history of 100 healthy women, at least one affected first degree relative can be found in up to 15 of them.

That's why mammograms find over 80 percent of tumors in fatty breasts, but as few as 40 percent in extremely dense breasts.

The tumor in your leg is not consistent with a benign tumor.

I heard the word carcinoma.

There is still a high level of malignant tumours.

Both tumors and dense breast tissue appear white on a mammogram, and the X ray often can't distinguish between the two.

In cancer, cells rapidly divide and lead to uncontrolled tumor growth.

One had to do with a friend of mine who had a breast cancer, had a small breast cancer detected had her lumpectomy in the town in which I lived.

But MBI exploits the different molecular behavior of tumors, and therefore, it's impervious to breast density.

And when, onscreen, Crystal got breast cancer, 75,000 more young women went to have mammographies done.

This is a tumor dark, gray, ominous mass growing inside a brain.

And the CAT scan revealed no blood clots in the lung, but it showed bilateral, visible, palpable breast masses, breast tumors, that had metastasized widely all over the body.

According to forecasts, however, in addition to the growing incidence of thyroid cancer among persons exposed to radioactive iodine, an increase in the number of cases of other forms of malignant neoplasm and cardiovascular and other non oncological types of disease may be expected in the years immediately ahead.

After sequencing the entire genomes of 50 patients breast cancer tumors, researchers found that only 10 of the tumors had more than three mutations in common. According to a recent study mapping genetic mutations in 2,000 tumors, breast cancer can actually be divided into ten subgroups.

Mammography relies on differences in the appearance of the tumor from the background tissue, and we've seen that those differences can be obscured in a dense breast.

Four or five opportunities to see the breast masses, touch the breast mass, intervene at a much earlier stage than when we saw her.

Should it be a mastectomy? Should it be a lumpectomy?

So now that we knew that this technology could find three times more tumors in a dense breast, we had to solve one very important problem.

Thus, the breast cancer holds the first place with rate of 22 100.000 (structure index 13,6 ), and cervix cancer with rate 5,5 100.000 is in the seventh place of the leading causes of death due to malign neoplasm.

Thus, the breast cancer holds the first place with rate of 22 100.000 (structure index 13,6 ), and cervix cancer, with rate 5,5 100.000, is in the seventh place of the leading causes of death due to malign neoplasm.

For the same year, the incidence of malignant neoplasms in women aged 15 and over showed that cervical cancer was the leading cause of morbidity in cancer patients, with a rate of 75.4 per cent per 100,000 women aged 15 and over, followed by breast cancer, with a rate of 19.6 per 100,000.

So here is a nine year old boxer named Milo who had a very aggressive tumor called a malignant neurofibroma growing on his shoulder.

Now what's interesting is, of course, that we're still using 80 million pounds of atrazine, the number one contaminant in drinking water, that does the opposite turns on aromatase, increases estrogen and promotes tumors in rats and is associated with tumors, breast cancer, in humans.

And I started talking to him about this problem with breast density, and we realized that we might be able to get this detector close enough around the breast to actually find small tumors.

Recently, my research group, along with researchers in London, provided some real hope for carriers of mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. Both research teams describe how the use of a chemical inhibitor can kill tumor cells that have either a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene defect causing hereditary breast cancer.

Women carrying a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have roughly an 80 risk of developing breast cancer. A mutation in these genes also leads to an increased risk of developing ovarian tumors.

But it was better in one group, and that was women under 50 who were pre menopausal and had dense breasts, and in those women, digital mammography found twice as many cancers, but it still only found 60 percent.

An analysis of the structure of malignant tumours shows that there have been no significant changes over the last several years.

Turning to the issue of cancer and breast cancer in particular, she said a commission on radiotherapy and oncology had been established in the Ministry of Health to improve the quality of cancer services with a view to reducing total mortality from cancer by 15 per cent.

Malign neoplasm is in second place with 18 per cent and its number increased in the last few decades.

Heart diseases, malignant tumours, cerebro vascular diseases and accidents are still the leading causes of death.

Autopsy studies from people who died in car accidents have shown that about 40 percent of women between the ages of 40 and 50 actually have microscopic cancers in their breasts, about 50 percent of men in their 50s and 60s have microscopic prostate cancers, and virtually 100 percent of us, by the time we reach our 70s, will have microscopic cancers growing in our thyroid.

Ninety percent of women don't, and 95 percent of women don't know that it increases your breast cancer risk.

Although, since 1998, there have been fewer incidences of malignant tumours (8,567 first time patients in 2001 as opposed to 8,685 in 2000), but over the course of the last 10 years, the incidence of such tumours has increased by a total of 9.6 (see the table).

Malign neoplasm ranks second (18 per cent) and their number increased in last decades.
