What type of treatment is breast brachytherapy?

Can you have breast cancer in one breast but not the other?
Yes, it's possible to have breast cancer in one breast without it affecting the other breast. Breast cancer can develop independently in each breast, and the risk factors, genetic factors, and environmental influences that contribute to breast cancer can vary between breasts. Factors that may lead to breast cancer in one breast but not the other include: Genetics: Some genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, increase the risk of breast cancer. However, these mutations can affect one breast more than the other, or they may only be present in one breast. Environmental Factors: Exposure to environmental factors like radiation, certain chemicals, or hormonal influences can affect one breast more than the other, leading to the development of cancer in one breast while the other remains unaffected. Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking can impact breast cancer risk. These factors may affect each breast differently, resulting in cancer in one breast but not the other. Hormonal Factors: Hormonal changes, such as those related to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or hormone replacement therapy, can influence breast cancer risk. These changes may affect one breast more than the other. Previous Medical History: Previous breast surgeries or treatments, such as lumpectomy or radiation therapy, may impact the risk of cancer development in each breast differently. It's important for individuals to be vigilant about breast health, perform regular breast self-exams, undergo recommended screenings like mammograms, and consult with healthcare professionals if they notice any changes or have concerns about their breast health. Early detection and timely treatment are crucial for managing breast cancer effectively.
Can men get breast cancer at the age of fifteen?
Absolutely. In the developed world, your risk is very low. The average age of diagnosis for breast cancer increases roughly with the level of development your country has. Be that as it may. You still are always at risk, as cancer can develop without any identifiable factor influencing it.
What if i have breast cancer?
Then I have to give a question back. (Hypothetically) How did you find out you have breast cancer? 1. If your answer is that you self-test by finding a lump on your chest area then the first thing you should do is get a diagnosis from an expert. As much as you want to get treatment as soon as possible.. that is not possible. You still have to have a recommendation from a Doctor to go through cancer treatment. 2. If you found out that you have breast cancer through expert diagnosis then you should then get a 2nd opinion. You have to be 200% - nay - 300% sure that you do have cancer. Cancer treatments are not to be taken lightly. Chemo therapy can damage your system if you're not careful. After all this the next thing you should do is choosing which Cancer Treatment you prefer -- Chemo or Holistic Medicine? or Both? If by chance you decided to cure breast cancer through Holistic Medicine, you have to be 500% sure this time that this is what you want. Not all alternative centers offer the same services, the same goes for Chemo therapies.

Is breast cancer a leading cause of death in women?
First answer (I'm not sure that this addresses the question):The treatment here in the US is barbaric. Cut and burn is what they do in the US. Look to go to another country that 'thinks outside' the box in terms of treating breast cancer and you can get your cancer treated and get to keep your breasts too!Second answer:The odds of surviving breast cancer are much better than surviving cancers at most other site locations. Pancreatic cancer victims, for example, have just a 5% chance of survival. However, there are far more breast cancer cases than most other site locations (except prostate cancer), so deciding how deadly it is takes a bit of analysis and a bit of philosophy. Does "deadly" refer to the total number of deaths or to how likely one is to die once they have become afflicted? Each person must decide that individually.The Information Please Almanac's compilation of data from the American Cancer Society, U.S. National Institutes of Health, and National Cancer Institute tells us the 5 year survivability rate for breast cancer in the US is 90% for whites, and 77% for blacks. I'm estimating this means (.87* .9 + .13 * .77 = ) 88% overall. Early detection and treatment is key. In 2007 there were 180,510 estimated new cases of breast cancer about 1% of whom were men. That means that over the next 5 years, if survival rates remain unchanged, approximately 21,661 (12%) of these people will die of the condition.Comparatively, lung cancer has a 15/12% white/black 5 yr survival rate est. 14% overall. In 2007, there were 213,380 new cases of lung cancer. That means 183,506 of these people are likely to die of lung cancer over the next 5 years. That is 8.5 times the number of people that will die of breast cancer and more than the total number of new breast cancer cases surviving or not. But the largest killer is heart disease. Heart disease killed 631,636 persons in 2006 including 315,930 women - more than half of the total and 14.6 times the number of all breast cancer deaths (men & women).So, how deadly is breast cancer? The rest is an individual and philosophical decision. Chances are if you had a family member that died of breast cancer you'll say it is "very" deadly. If you had a family member that died of cancer at another site location or heart disease you're likely to wonder what all the breast cancer hoopla is about.http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0883543.html#axzz12R7XmUYHhttp://www.infoplease.com/us/statistics/leading-causes-death.html

World's deadliest disease?
The most deadly is the diseases you can't see. Because then you can't predict what is going to happen next. Kind of like cancer.
I am a father with custody of my child. His mother just found out she has breast cancer so is taking me to court to have her child support stopped. In Arkansas don't she have to pay something?
If she has lost her income due to illness, then the circumstances have changed. Hopefully you have enough income to support the child in the meantime. If the breast cancer is real, then you should have some compassion for the next few years as she gets past the surgery/chemo and recovers.
