30 August 2020
In 2003 the Time Books (Time Inc. Home Entertainment) published a book titled "A to Z Health Guide".
This book informs about cancer:
"As one prominent cancer specialist puts it, "Cancer is not a bolt.It's more like a thunderstorm."(p.26)
A part of this book talks about the "Anatomy of Tumor". It reads:
"Every breast cancer is a little different, but many follow a fairly standard course."(p.22)
The Time book (2003) addresses:
"Research found that women with the so-called breast-cancer gene can reduce their risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancers 75% if they have their ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed."(p.28)
"Harsh medicine indeed, but women with the genetic mutation face a 50% to 85% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and a 15% to 40% risk of ovarian cancer," informs the Time book.(p.28)
According to the information provided by this book:
"Removing the ovaries helps prevent breast cancer by stemming the flow of estrogen, which spurs tumor growth.
(p.28)
The information addresses, "Ovary removal may be an easier choice-especially for women who have completed childbearing-than the alternative: a prophylactic double mastectomy."(p.28)
