Hormone Therapy Worsens Breast Cancer, Study Finds - Polidicks

[url]http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/20/health/20hormone.html?src=mv[/url] [Quote]Hormone treatment after menopause, already known to increase the risk of breast cancer, also makes it more likely that the cancer will be advanced and deadly, a study finds Women who took hormones and developed breast cancer were more likely to have cancerous lymph nodes, a sign of more advanced disease, and were more likely to die from the disease than were breast cancer patients who had never taken hormones. The increased risks were relatively small and are not fully understood. But previous research has found that hormone treatment can cause delays in diagnosis by increasing breast density, making tumors harder to see on mammograms. Delayed diagnosis may increase the risk of death.[/Quote] Bad day for boob fans everywhere.

[QUOTE=The golden;25522602]How the fuck does any of that even relate in any way? I'm talking about natural cycles like menopause you turd.[/QUOTE] Cancer is natural too. You think cancer is made in a lab?

[QUOTE=The golden;25523113]Cancer is not a natural cycle that is established and everyone experiences in their life.[/QUOTE] Since basically there isn't an effective way to prevent for gene degradation, the longer you live, the greater your chance of getting cancer. As time goes on, and as people live longer, the percent of people in a population that experience cancer once in their life will approach 100%. Assuming we don't find a way to prevent it. [editline]20th October 2010[/editline] So yes, cancer is a natural cycle in a sense.

Humans in modern society are perpetually surrounded by carcinogens or prospective carcinogens. At nearly every given moment, you're being exposed to the electromagnetic radiation of a varying number of communications signals which are suspected to be possible cancer-causing agents. Everything from new car smell to ferns could be tilting the odds by a variable amount. A great majority of cancers are caused by doing things we wouldn't be doing if we were living in the jungle, so as cancer research advances and we're capable of pinpointing more dangerous carcinogens, we'll be able to gradually eradicate them for future generations.
