I have recently seen a program on TV where they talked, if surgery is the only way to go when a woman has breast cancer and they believe it could be in the lymph nodes, and, closest to breast cancer. Now there is growing evidence that the elimination of cancer nodes are actually unnecessary! In fact, they began to demonstrate that the removal of these nodes are doing more harm than good in some patients!
chances of women developing breast cancer is now 1 in 8 women! Unlikely prospect indeed what we as women are working on it! We need to keep up with the latest reports from both U.S. and Canadian College of Surgeons, the first place to start! North America are working together to try their hardest to solve every woman's breast cancer treatment to ensure the survival of women.
There are specific studies that occurred, that advises doctors through the College of Physicians on such matters as the treatment of breast cancer, and now treatment čvorove.Limfni lymph nodes are tying into the whole scenario of the treatment of breast cancer in women. But surgery can not only be disfiguring to the woman, but she left with lymph-edema, swelling of the hands of the permanent disfigurement and leaves women with the painful sensation, fluid settling in the underarm are more susceptible to infection. There is absolutely no cure for "lymph-edema ".
In case you have not been warned previously, lymph nodes, the small glands play a major roll in the body fight infection and disease. They contain white blood cells that filter the lymph fluid.
Most surgeons remove all the nodes of women with breast cancer, it is standard procedure these days. But recently, after numerous studies, it is proved that if the cancer spreads on sentinel node (closest to the tumor), and are considered positive, only then will the surgeon do the surgery the lymph nodes!
That study was commissioned by the National Cancer Institute about the above breakthrough! Cancer Head of Surgical Oncology Department in Santa Monica, a leading authority on breast surgery, who has written over 400 articles on this topic. These surgeons and their teams after 900 patients for about six years, where the median age was 50 years old, and they all had surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are the majority, and half of them had lymph nodes removed.
The results were no significant differences occurred for the return of cancer or overall survival between the two groups. However, the worst part is that women who have had nodes removed is more complications from the surgery, which included infection, swelling of the lymph-edema .. Once published in the Journal of American Medical Association, the news is turning around the medical community.
in the 90's, researchers began to study medical wisdom about the removal of lymph nodes.
Several studies followed, and from 82.2 percent of women who have been removed nodes, they are all still alive and in remission five years later. A 83.9 percent who had no nodes removed were also still alive and in remission, was considered to be no significant differences were found!
so the above statements, the removal of lymph nodes proved unnecessary for most women after both chemotherapy and radiology. These treatments will remove the disease itself in knots! Now medical centers are trying to reduce the operation lymph čvorova.Cancer Center in New York is one of them currently.
recruiting patients for studies has become difficult as the surgeons were uncomfortable with the idea of not removing the lymph nodes. After the CNN interview, it was found that after 6 years, recurrence occurs in only about 1 percent of women who had operaciju.Kirurzi say they do not leave cancer cells behind, but they have found new ways of treating them. They were killed with radiation and drugs! Doctors now believe that it is best to do minor surgery in the breast itself, and the replacement of lumpectomy and radiation to mastectomy as a routine. This is the next step in the evolution of drug therapy as it gets better with a less invasive type of medication, then surgery may be minimal.

...If there is a better way of dealing with cancer lymph nodes, while ensuring that the cancer will be gone at the end of treatment, why not, to prevent the possibility of contracting a lymph-edema in any case.
