Breast cancer is a devastating disease and is one of the most common reasons for disease of women-related deaths. Although the number of deaths due to cancer in general and specifically breast cancer have been declining in recent years, the actual number of deaths remains of concern.
It is estimated that nearly 40,000 women die from this disease every year and more than 260,000 will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a disease that has an effect of the emotions of women, as well as the body. Studies are still in learning more about breast cancer and the incessant research constantly reveals new information about the disease which helps us inch just slightly more towards the conquest of the disease.
A team of scientists is working on how prevent breast cancer using the drug exemestane. The reason behind the drug preventive properties because the aromatase inhibition. Through the aromatase inhibition, the amount of estrogen circulating in the body of the woman is reduced. The less than estrogen, the lower the likelihood of developing the disease. Doctors have been prescribed long drug tamoxifen, which is an estrogen anti drug women who already have successfully developed and cured of breast cancer and who want to avoid a relapse. Tamoxifen blocks get access to estrogen breast cancer cells, but does not prevent the body to produce the hormone.
Work in a different way aromatase inhibitors. In fact closed the production of estrogen in the body. So there is no simple obstruction between estrogen and breast cancer cells, but there is no supply of estrogen at all. New research is being conducted on exhaustion of estrogen in the full body of a woman's long-term effects will shed new light on how to efficiently and securely to measure the inhibitor preventive araomatse.
What is known about the loss of estrogen is accelerated bone loss.? Particular case, also warns that low estrogen levels may aggravate the hot flashes. Even in the light of some side effects such as previous unemployment, production of estrogen on aromatase inhibitors is considered the most effective treatment to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer rather than tamoxifen. For tamoxifen those cuts the risk of developing breast cancer by 50%, the aromatase inhibitors reduce risk by another 50%. Is to see if there are still undiscovered side effects of inhibition of estrogen complete, but for now it seems that the most effective preventive treatment for breast cancer. New research results are expected by the scientific community.
