Breast Cancer Facts Conventional patients have become more proactive in combating the possibility of having cancer. But when it comes to statistics, one in eight women suffers from breast cancer. However, the mortality rate has declined. 2. Following the Guidelines. For high-risk patients, screening should begin before the age of forty. High-risk patients are women with a strong family or personal history of breast cancer, as they may have inherited genes that increase the risk of breast cancer. For the moderate risk category, they should start getting mammograms between the ages of forty and forty-four. Beyond that point, patients should get mammograms every year. 3. Breast Cancer Treatments. When it comes to conventional care, it depends on the stage of breast cancer. If it's an early stage, a patient may be advised to get a lumpectomy or a mastectomy. Other options include radiation, chemotherapy drugs, or hormonal treatments. Dr. Aminah Keats is a licensed and board-certified Naturopathic Physician specializing in integrative oncology.
