3. Pomegranates

Crunchy seeds of pomegranate fruit (also called arils) contains a compound called ellagic acid - a powerful antioxidant that can inhibit enzymes that play a role in the development of breast cancer, according to scientists from the U.S. from the City of Hope Beckman Research Institute.

As a rich source of antioxidants, the pomegranate has also been linked able to promote heart health. You can get antioxidants from pure pomegranate juice with one cup (250 ml) per day.

5. Walnuts

Preliminary data indicate that snacking about 60 grams of walnuts every day can stop the progression of breast cancer tumors. Researchers from West Virginia Marshall University School of Medicine suspect omega-3, antioxidants and phytosterols in walnuts as an actor that inhibit cancer cell growth.

6. Blueberries

Research shows that pterostilbene, a phytonutrients in blueberries, can stop tumor growth of breast cancer by causing cancer cells to self-destruct (a process called apoptosis).

4. Other factors suspected as the cause of breast cancers are; not married, married but no children, gave birth to their first child after age 35 years, never feed a child.

Some studies reveal that breast cancers increased in people who often face stressful conditions (shock soul) and also for women who previously had periods under 11 years of age.

One study revealed that women who have a diet consisting of meat and variety of livestock products like milk, eggs and processed products can reduce the risk of breast cancer.While many of those who receive a high intake of fiber foods like fruits, vegetables and grains also showed a low risk of ovarian cancer.The findings were published in the medical journal The International Journal of Cancer that links between the role of diet to cancer risk in women.

Intake with higher alcohol content consistently linked to higher risk of cancer, but when associated with other diet will find some results that can differ from each other, "said Dr.Valeria Edefonti of the University of Milan.

From some studies say that women who ate red meat or processed meat product range will have a higher risk of breast cancer, but other studies found the opposite was the link between red meat and variety meats that have been processed with cancer.

Saturated fats are found mostly in foods of animal protein is said to have close links with breast cancer but in several other studies had conflicting results.

While some other researchers recommend a diet that is a combination of nutritional considerations favored with what each individual. In his research and his colleagues Edefonti access to a diet of 3600 women with breast cancer and ovarian and compared with 3413 healthy women.

Based on answers to the researchers found four dietary groups
The first group is a group of adherents of animal protein pattern of `" the red meat consumed in large amounts, saturated fat, zinc, calcium and certain number of other nutritious food.

The second group is the group that has an eating pattern rich in vitamin and fiber ", which is rich in vitamin C, beta carotene and other nutrients found in fruits and vegetables.

Diet group "unsaturated fats" which contains a high content of vegetable oils and fish oil while also vitamin E. While the last group is the group with eating a high carbohydrate content of vegetable protein and sodium.

Group of women who adhered to the diet "unsaturated fats" have the lowest risk of breast cancer while consuming a high carbohydrate foods with a risk of both types of cancer.

In the general advice of the doctors suggested that we should eat less red meat, foods high in saturated fats and multiply eat vegetables and fruits, wheat family and whole grains, and consume unsaturated fats. Which is rich in vitamins and rich in fiber is the group with the risk of ovarian cancer is the lowest compared with the group with low dietary vitamins and low in fiber.

Breast cancer is generally attacked by the gland, both in the gland and the channel supporting the breast tissue. In contrast to benign tumors, breast cancer can spread to the tissue throughout the body. The first affected generally is the armpit tissue, lymph nodes and organs in the body, such as the lungs.

"Often when such examination found abnormalities in the lungs, which is actually a child spread of cancer cells. We do a biopsy, it turned out to disseminate child is breast cancer," explained founder and Chairman of the Breast Cancer Foundation of Jakarta.

If there are abnormalities in the form of a lump, she advised to immediately conduct examinations or ultrasound. "If necessary, if there genekomasti found after age 25 years and over, should be appointed," he advised.

Treatment and therapy conducted

According to dr. Sutjipto, treatment or therapy the patient made a woman or man is the same, namely the way the operation. What distinguishes only stadium from his cancer. It could be just to do a biopsy operation, until the surgical removal of breasts or called by Mastectomy.

"The appointment of the breast is not only done when the patient is at an advanced stage. Instead, at stage 1 and stage 2, the maximum stage 3, we perform more radical surgery. When you have an advanced stage, we simply do a biopsy, chemotherapy, and radiation," explained the doctor's glasses.

Differences stadium, he added, viewed by size. The first stage of breast cancer are still measuring no more than 2 cm. In stage two, the size reaches 2 to 5 cm. Was the third stage, tumor size was more than 5 cm but still has not spread. When you have spread, so regardless of size, stage it was at level four.

In an early stage breast cancer did not cause symptoms. But along with the progression of the disease, symptoms will occur that causes changes in the breast.
