Former Breast Cancer Patients Can Back Suffering Cancer

THE health experts discovered the possibility of the return of breast cancer in patients who had been declared cured.

In a study found 1 in 5 women who have recovered from breast cancer, this dangerous disease returned a few years later.

This conclusion is drawn from research led by Dr Adam Glaser of St. James' Institute of Oncology, Leeds, UK. This research involved 1,000 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer since 1999.

The researchers found that tumors grew again on 214 cases or 22.6 percent.Tumors that trigger the growth of breast cancer cells return on average within three years and four months after patients complete treatment and declared cured.

Need a pity, because 95% of women with breast cancer for the second time, just to survive up to 10 years.

Similarly, as revealed in the results of the research to be presented at the National Cancer Intelligence Network conference, Birmingham, this week.

"These findings help us to understand how many breast cancer patients with cancer for the first or second time," Glaser said as quoted by the Daily Mail.

More than 48,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer each year and claimed as many as 11,500 people. This figure is only in the UK alone, not including cases of breast cancer in other countries.

However, breast cancer patients still can breathe a sigh of relief, because the research also shows that 60% of cancer patients successfully through periods of crisis.
