A REVIEW ON BREAST CANCER
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Development & Technology - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT Breast cancer is the common disease in women worldwide, with some 5-10% of all cases due to inherited mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The prognosis of breast cancer is generally favorable. Ductal carcinoma in situ is regarded as non-life threatening disease. Hence early diagnosis and quick treatment is essential. Obesity, hormone therapy and use of alcohol are possible causes and over-expression of leptin in adipose tissue may also play a role for breast cancer. Normally surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy allow a good prognosis for breast cancer. Recent treatment measures include adjuvant therapy, neo adjuvant therapy, and introduction of mono-clonal antibodies and enzyme inhibitors. Keywords: Breast Cancer, BRCA1, BRCA2, Chemotherapy.
