Breast cancer symptoms you should NEVER ignore, with Dr Philippa Kaye
A BREAKTHROUGH in breast cancer research has seen scientists discover how to kill 'hibernating' tumour cells.Luca Magnani, professor of epigenetic plasticity at the institute, said: “After surgery to remove primary oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, patients are given five to 10 years of hormone therapy which aims to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Prof Magnani said: “Our research identified a key mechanism used by cancer cells to evade therapy by remaining in a dormant state, hibernating before they ‘wake up’ years later and begin to rapidly divide again.” “Our research has made it increasingly clear that cancer cells can lie dormant in the body for many years before being triggered to reawaken, causing cancer to return.
It's very common for women to worry that breast cancer will return after treatment, even mastectomy to remove breasts. This is known as recurrence.The risk of breast cancer recurring is higher in the first few years and reduces as time goes on.It is important to regularly check your breasts for any changes. Breast tissue reaches all the way up to your collarbone and across to your armpit, so it’s vital to check these areas too.
