Measures to prevent breast cancer spread

Especially in the case of cancer, which spreads to the brain and vertebrae via blood, the chance of treatment can be reduced, so the treatment should be planned in a timely fashion. Memorial Foggy The Hospital is Professor of Neurology and Spinal Cord Surgery. Dr. Gökhan Akdemir, February 4 World Cancer Day before " breast cancer the effects on brain and spine health ".

It's 100 times more common in women than in men

About 25% of the cancers seen in women are breast cancer. It is important that patients with breast cancer or under treatment have knowledge about metastasis, that is, cancerous tapping and splashing to other parts of the body.
