450 Men Will Die This Year -Breast Cancer

by J John Swanko

10/20/11 (People Port Family) In researching childhood breast cancer mortality rates, for a I Love Boobies article, It became the article. More than 39,000 women will die this year from the disease. Male breast cancer and childhood breast cancers are considered rare. In a preliminary report by Keep-A-Breast (KAB), those responding claimed, .4% females, .1%males had breast cancer.

Those answered the question, "Do you own a Keep A Breast I Love Boobies bracelet? If YES why?" The apparent disconnect occurs when new questions are asked. In this case, the KAB study is preliminary.

Editor's Note:

Breast cancer occurs in tissues of the breast. Breast cancer may form in both male and female children. Most are fibroadenomas, which are not cancer (benign). Rarely, these tumors become cancer (large phyllodes tumors) and begin to grow quickly. Your doctor will use a needle, sometimes a biopsy.

Risk factors do not mean you will get a disease, it is like driving. One bald tire, broken windshield wipers, thin brake pads, tail light out, broken seat belt... all are risk factors that increase your likelihood of an accident you will not survive.

From the National Cancer Institute, the risk of breast cancer is increased by the following:

-Having a personal history of cancer that may spread to the breast, such as leukemia, rhabdomyosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, or lymphoma.

-Past treatment for another cancer, such as Hodgkin lymphoma, with radiation therapy to the breast or chest.

Breast cancer may cause any of the following signs and symptoms. Check with your doctor if any of the following problems occur:

-A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area.
-A change in the size or shape of the breast.
-A dimple or puckering in the skin of the breast.
-A nipple turned inward into the breast.
-Scaly, red, or swollen skin on the breast, nipple, or areola (the dark area of skin that is around the nipple).
-Dimples in the breast that look like the skin of an orange, called peau d’orange.

Other conditions that are not breast cancer may cause these same symptoms.

The CKiD Study Is Out

Complications of chronic kidney disease occur earlier in children

The Chronic Kidney Disease in Children study is out. Growth failure, metabolic abnormalities, even cardiovascular disease are risk factors. The NIH funded study found intensive management should begin early.

Many experts previously thought that complications of kidney disease, such as anemia, acidosis and elevated potassium and phosphate, did not usually happen until kidney function was much worse. Until this study, Children with chronic kidney disease were rarely systematically assessed.

CKiD is a multi-center, prospective study of children and teenagers ages 1 to 16 years with mild to moderate impairment of kidney function, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 90 and 30. Forty-eight sites in the United States and two in Canada are following 586 children.
