Myth: Using deodorant or antiperspirant causes breast cancer. Fact: This urban legend has suggested that chemicals in antiperspirants are absorbed through the skin, interfere with lymph circulation and cause toxins to accumulate in the breast that eventually lead to breast cancer. There is absolutely no experimental or epidemiological evidence to support this. Chemicals in products such as

A Canadian task force has concluded that there is little evidence that breast self-exam (BSE) saves lives this was  after reviewing eight major studies on BSE. The group found that the number of false alarms and unnecessary biopsies produced by self-exams made it a harmful procedure. The study's authors' conclusions, which were published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found

When an abnormality, such as a lump, is detected in the breast, your doctor will order tests or procedures to further evaluate the problem. These may include a diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a needle biopsy or aspiration, or a formal surgical biopsy. These can help to determine if an abnormality is breast cancer, and if so, to characterize the tumor.

A number of recent advances will help prevent,detect and treat the disease that women dreaded so much. The good news is that breast cancer survival rates are among the highest of all cancers.

Staging Your Cancer Tumor size,lymph node involvement, and whether the cancer has spread to the other parts of your body will determine the stage of your cancer. A key part of staging breast cancer is to determine whether an invasive tumor has spread to regional lymph nodes. To accomplish this, a test called sentinel node biopsy has become the gold standard. The sentinel nodes are the lymph
