 The exact causes of breast cancer are still not fully understood, but recent research findings have begun to shed light on factors that increase the risk of developing it. Factors that have been identified include early age at menarche, late age at menopause, nulliparity, late age at first childbirth, and lack of breastfeeding. Additionally, significant diet and lifestyle changes are considered major contributing factors. To mitigate the risk of breast cancer from these factors, it’s important to maintain a balanced diet, engage in regular exercise, prevent obesity, avoid smoking, and moderate alcohol consumption. These lifestyle habits reduce the risk of breast Treatment methods for breast cancerOne of the most common treatment methods for breast cancer is surgery. This can involve breast-conserving surgery (also known as lumpectomy or breast-conserving therapy) or mastectomy. In breast-conserving surgery, the tumour and a portion of surrounding healthy tissue are removed, while in mastectomy, the entire breast is removed. In recent years, numerous medications for breast cancer treatment have been developed, with different drugs being used depending on the nature of the breast cancer and the treatment goals.Breast cancer is a serious illness that threatens lives, but I believe the battle to overcome it is not just a single endpoint. I hope that with advancements in medical care and strengthened support Finally, I would like to touch upon the author Kana Nishino. In 2019, she immigrated to Canada with her husband and child, only to be diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2021, just 1 year and 8 months later. In her book, she recounts how she desperately tried to dispel her anxiety by chanting internal phrases like “There’s no way I could have cancer” and “Most lumps are benign, so surely mine is too.”Her book,” Kumo wo Sagasu” released in April 2023 by Kawade Shobo Shinsha, is a non-fiction work that meticulously depicts her roughly 8-month journey in Canada, where she was diagnosed with “triple-negative breast cancer,” considered one of the most challenging types to treat. The book details her experiences with treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery. It also touches upon the differences between Canadian and Japanese medical care.One notable incident she recounts is the aftermath of receiving a phone call from a clinic doctor informing her of her cancer diagnosis immediately after a needle biopsy.

Additionally, it’s crucial to undergo regular screening methods such as mammography and breast self-examination to facilitate early detection of breast cancer, which increases the chances of successful treatment.center she had been eagerly waiting for, she was abruptly cut off by the clinic staff with the advice to “just wait” since they had already faxed her information to the cancer center. The receptionist’s tone conveyed dissatisfaction. Unable to endure it, she managed to obtain the contact information for the cancer center and made a call, only to be passed around and eventually faced with an unintelligible voice guidance system, resulting in the call being abruptly terminated. It was on that day that Nishino shed tears for the first time since being diagnosed with cancer.While she was often moved to tears by the inadequacies of cancer treatment in Canada, Nishino reflects with a smile, “That’s why I could encounter miraculous moments.” She continues, “I had been accustomed to the perfection of healthcare in Japan, but I realized that since humans do everything, it’s natural to make mistakes. On the day of my surgery, a nurse mistook me for another patient named ‘Bonita’ and I missed taking the painkiller I was supposed to take 30 minutes before surgery. Despite the fear and anxiety, I should have felt as I was being wheeled into the operating room, I found myself bursting into laughter.systems, coupled with heartfelt support, all those affected by breast cancer can continue walking towards a brighter future.html(おしえて乳がんのコト)https://oshiete-gan.jp/breast/about/countermeasure/prevention.
