Breast cancer spread is more likely in women under the age of 35, according to a new study. According to a review of 400 cases, the incidence of secondary cancer varies between 6% and 22% depending on several circumstances.
As per a global study, women with breast cancer under the age of 35 have a greater risk of it growing.
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy, affecting 2.3 million individuals each year. The good news is that survival statistics are generally favorable, thanks to increased screening, early identification, and treatment.
Nevertheless, nothing is known regarding the risk of secondary breast cancer, which occurs when cancer expands to other areas of the body, becoming incurable.
“About 1,000 women in the UK die each month from incurable secondary breast cancer. We desperately need to learn more about this devastating disease so that we can find new ways to improve treatment, care, and support for people living with it, and for those living in fear of a diagnosis. Secondary breast cancer can develop many years after an initial cancer diagnosis, so it’s vital that we understand it better and find new ways to prevent it,” declared Kotryna Temcinaite from Breast Cancer Now.
According to a meta analysis of over 400 research, the chance of breast cancer extending to some other area of the body varies from 6% to 22%. The study’s findings will be discussed at the sixth International Consensus Conference for Advanced Breast Cancer this week.
The data also imply that certain women, such as those suffering from cancer under the age of 35, those with larger tumors when first diagnosed, and those with specific forms of breast cancer, such as luminal B, are at a higher risk.
The most frequent type of cancer worldwide is breast cancer. The majority of women are diagnosed when their cancer is contained to the breast or has progressed only to adjacent tissue. However, some women’s cancers will expand and migrate to other regions of their bodies or return in a new portion of their bodies several years after their original therapy is completed.
