Breast Cancer
Introduction:
The following information focuses on potential Integrative Medicine interventions for both breast cancer prevention and possibilities for improvement of breast cancer survival. The gynecologist is of highest importance in guidance and performance of screening for breast cancer by a greater expertise in breast exams and in recommending mammogram intervals. It is vital that the patient adhere to the gynecologist recommendations and be compliant with clinic appointments to obtain the greatest possible benefit. Careful attention should be provided to signs and symptoms of breast cancer which include painless hard or irregular lumps, nipple discharge, breast swelling, skin ulcers, breast pains, skin irregularities, bone pain, redness of the skin, swelling under the armpits, and weight loss. Men may also get breast cancer but it is much less common than in women.
