What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a malignant growth that begins in the tissues of the breast. It is one of the most common cancers among women around the world. The chances of a women being diagnosed with the disease sometime during her lifetime is 1 in 8. Therefore, it is important for women to be aware of breast cancer and about breast cancer care.

Studies involving hundreds of thousands of women with history of breast cancer revealed how likely a woman is to be diagnosed with state I breast cancer. Results varied depending upon ethnicity or race. Black women were the least likely to be diagnosed with this condition, while Japanese women were the most likely to be diagnosed with stage I breast cancer. Risk levels of women of Asian descent, Hispanic & non-Hispanic white women fell in the middle risk group. USA alone is estimating about 60,290 cases of breast carcinoma in 2015. Almost 83% of these are likely to be ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) & lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) to be around 12%. These new facts & figures are not meant to discourage, but to provide awareness amongst women to be cautious.

What Causes Breast Cancer?

Most experts agree that it is difficult to say what exactly causes breast cancer. Any woman having breast cancer will not be able to pinpoint & say an exact cause. However certain risk factors are more likely to develop breast cancer than others. What we know for sure is that breast cancers invariably cause damage to a cell's DNA. Some risk factors like consuming alcohol can be avoided while many others are simply a part & parcel of regular living. Though having a risk factor does not in any way mean a woman will have breast cancer, having a family history of breast cancer can be discouraging. Other common risk factors for a woman developing breast cancer include getting older which is 50+ after menopause, having breast lumps, dense breast tissue, estrogen exposure, obesity, taller than average, radiation exposure, HRT - hormone replacement therapy & women with cosmetic implants that may even undermine breast cancer survival.

Risk Factors of Breast Cancer


  • Family history: It increases the risk by two to three folds. Mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and p53 results in a very high risk of breast cancer
  • Reproductive factors: Late menopause and late age at first child birth at an old age are amongst the most common risk factors
  • Age: Breast cancer risk increases after a certain age (above 40)
  • Lifestyle related factors: Using oral contraceptives
  • Obesity and heavy drinking

What is VSD (ventricular septal defect)? A  ventricular septal defect  (VSD) is a type of birth defect (congenital condition) which results in the development of a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers (ventricular chambers) of the heart. This wall of membranous tissue and inferior muscles is known as the ventricular septum and the hole is more commonly seen in the membranous portion of the septum (chamber wall). What are the signs and symptoms of a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)? Ventricular septal defect (VSD)  is mostly a congenital (birth) defect that is seen in infants around a few weeks after birth.

Cardiac Ablation for Heart Rhythm Problems

Image
Cardiac ablation procedures Cardiac ablation is a procedure that is used to scar small areas in your heart that may be involved in your  heart rhythm problems . This can prevent the abnormal electrical signals or rhythms from moving through the heart. During the procedure, small wires called electrodes are placed inside your heart to measure your heart's electrical activity. When the source of the problem is found, the tissue causing the problem is destroyed. Description There are two methods for performing cardiac ablation: Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to eliminate the problem area. Cryoablation uses very cold temperatures. The type of procedure you have will depend on what kind of abnormal heart rhythm you have. Cardiac ablation procedures  are done in a hospital laboratory by trained staff. This includes cardiologists (heart doctors), technicians, and nurses. The setting is safe and controlled so your risk is as low as possible
