False Beliefs About Breast Cancer (I)
Worldwide, every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, the second leading cause of death in women. Knowledge and early detection of tumor is the best prevention. And to achieve this we need to be informed. Today we will see some major misconceptions about breast cancer.
“Breast cancer cannot be prevented.”
FALSE. Periodic monitoring for early detection becomes the only way to treat it on time and increase the chances of a cure. The survival rate 5 years after diagnosis and early treatment is 96%. You are conducting studies with drugs that could
prevent breast cancer.
“If there are no symptoms should not worry.”
FALSE. 75% of nearly 18,000 women each year who are diagnosed with this disease had no known risk factors or symptoms. It is therefore important to monitor periodically, although in some cases the disease is announced from any symptoms such as lumps in the breast, changes in color or texture of the skin, hard or persistent axillary nodes, among others.
“There is no right age to start with the controls.”
FALSE. The WHO recommendations and Intersociedades Argentine Consensus indicates that we must perform a mammogram every year after age 40. If a woman has a family history of breast cancer begins ten years before the age of onset of disease in your family. Due to the particularity of each woman’s age and the frequency may be determined by your doctor.
“Self-examination is not used to detect breast cancer.”
FALSE. The method is used to detect breast cancer early, but is valid for awareness regarding breast care.
“The ultrasound replace mammography”
FALSE. They are two different types of techniques with specific purposes and uses, and often complementary at the discretion of the physician, but ultrasound does not replace mammography.
The important functions of the mind at rest
Until recently, scientists were of little interest to brain activity at rest. But within a few years they have come to consider it is a mental work which has important functions, reports the Los Angeles Times. This activity is based on a network of nerve cells in brain regions distant from each other that are activated in unison. This network is called the default mode network.
Individual brain regions that make up this network are known to be active when people talk about their past, project into future scenarios, attribute motives and feelings to others, and assess their personal values.
But when the mind wanders, these structures are activated in unison and the state are “neutral” in the brain. Understanding this behavior could one day help diagnose psychiatric conditions such as Alzheimer’s, autism, depression and schizophrenia, diseases in which the default mode network is disrupted.
Some believe that by studying the brain at rest, neuroscientists are exploring a central mystery of human psychology: where and how the concept of “self” is created, maintained, modified and renewed.
