according to Marisela Bermúdez, Deputy Minister of the Collective Health Network of the Ministry of the People's Power
for Health.
President Nicolás Maduro invited Venezuelans, through the teacher, to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of this disease
as an effective remedy for coping and prolonging life .
In Caracas, operations were carried out in different health centers. in the whole capital, as in Pdvsa La Estancia, in Altamira.
The owner of health, Carlos Alvarado, announced for his part that the following days: Screening and screening for bad cancer will be extended by one month.
According to Bermudez vice minister in the world, a sort of collective clamor has been raised regarding
the need to prevent bad cancer "which kills women of the planet" as the only one. one of the leading causes of death "
He pointed out that in Venezuela the incidence of this disease preferably affects women, although men are also victims and that the American countries Latin America, such as Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, have the highest mortality rates.
Deputy Minister maintains that bad cancer is a serious public health problem, Where the need to raise awareness and promote bad cancer styles.healthy life, ie the well-being of the entire population, especially women.
As a that risk factors, which increase the risk of suffering from the disease, mentioned smoking isma or tabaq uismo, the consumption of alcohol. On the other hand, it proposes to respect a balanced diet, to reduce the consumption of fats, to definitively eliminate the consumption of "black" or carbonated beverages, which generally contain a high sugar content.
For Marisela Bermúdez, it is essential to practice constant physical activity. He pointed out that there are ongoing activities in our country to promote overall health, but that it is the woman herself, through a self-badessment, which should take the initiative and take a step forward to quickly detect and prevent the
"In any case, the network of the Ministry of People's Power for Health, its core teams, its professionals,
hold permanently interviews, attend training sessions to allow women to discover their bad.Exploration is done from an individual point of view, but it can also be done to two.
Breast Cancer Prevention must become a family and community goal, "he said. Referring to October 19 as World Day for Breast Cancer Prevention, she noted that the ministry is redoubling its efforts in the community network, popular clinics, comprehensive diagnostic centers and the specialized care network.
All of these activities are aimed at promoting women's health based on the aforementioned risk factors and early detection measures.
The deputy minister added that there are other risk factors such as "heredofamiliar", which consists of a genetic predisposition in women and men, which makes them more likely to bad cancer.
RISK FACTORS
"If there are or existed grandmothers, sisters, aunts, mothers who have suffered from or died from this disease, since there are a genetic predisposition, there must be greater control over these women they must practice prevention, and if they are women who have these determinants, they should have a mammographic or mammographic ultrasound for children under 35 years, "she said.
The deputy minister pointed out that, according to studies of cancer specialists, mum, it was previously recommended to have a mammogram in children under 40, but now, given incidence and prevalence of bad cancer mortality, it is recommended that women aged 50 and over undergo mammography.
"A woman who may not have a hereditary family pattern, but any other woman who does not pres not even these risk factors, after age 50 and up to 74 or 75, should have a mammogram every two years, knowing that it does not have family risk factors or other factors such as not consuming tobacco, moderately drinking alcoholic beverages, exercising and maintaining a balanced diet, "says Marisela
Bermúdez. [19659002] Regarding the approach, he pointed out that once an early diagnosis had been established in the community network and that
a predisposition to this disease was observed, or that the disease was detected at the clinic, it was possible to go to the centers. diagnoses to echo within and in general all that follows when a woman is detected from bad cancer.
For the Minister, a crucial aspect is the promotion of well-being in the population and the fact that the woman is self-badessed.
She pointed out that women can detect other bad diseases that are not necessarily cancers, such as fibrocystic bad status, which are bad cysts or benign nodules.
Fibrocystic bad status, "explains" the woman is suffering and tends to go to the doctor to suspect the presence
of cancer, but it is a minor disease . When the cancer is detected, it is obvious that we want to capture this woman at an early stage to be able to guarantee the entire path related to her recovery, for example, in the case of surgery, or once diagnosed by an anatomopathological method, where it is studied. the pathological anatomy studies the cells or the lesion that the woman has within, then the surgical behavior is determined, the medical behavior if it is a radiotherapy, d & # 39; chemotherapy or surgery only. "
In circumstances characterized by a criminal blockade against the Venezuelan people and financial distortions, it is evident that limitations have been encountered, but radiotherapy equipment and diagnostic equipment are being recovered to enable detection.
strives to be able to give full attention and oncology services to women detected on bad cancer.The most important, he insists, is the early diagnosis of this disease so to give women a longer life expectancy.
THE ESTROGENS
Marisela Bermúdez states that once diagnosed illness and defined medical behavior or treatment, whether surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy , the woman for five years must be supervised by a mastologist or a bad cancer specialist, because the determining factors can be The badessment should be completed during this period, whether the patient is cured or not.
Regarding other risk factors, the deputy minister says that women of African descent are more prone to bad cancer. Also influences obesity, the so-called "junk food", foods with excess fat. Note that in countries that have adopted Western food fashions (Chile, Uruguay, Argentina), the bad cancer index has increased. This also occurs in women who have not badfed because badfeeding is beneficial to avoid this disease.
The same is true for women who did not have children, although that does not mean that women who did not have children after 30 years The disease will last for years, but studies indicate that women who have not badfed can suffer from this disease. Explains that menopausal women who are prescribed hormone replacement therapy can not take them for more than five years because their bads are exposed to these hormones, which could contribute to the development of bad cancer. 19659002] Women who have been taking oral contraceptives for many years may be at another risk because the estrogenic effect
of these hormones can lead to the development of cancer.
"The prescription of oral contraceptives must be made by doctors, and for a while, you can then change the contraceptive method for another, so as not to expose your bads to these estrogenic effects.
Menarche , the first menstrual period in children under 12 years, or during menstruation that lasts a long time In women under 50, there are estrogenic effects that affect the onset of cancer, "she says.
She insists that a meal be enjoyed Ana, with many fruits and vegetables, low in fat, and does not consume soft drinks, black drinks.
Juices should be consumed without sugar, use vegetable oils, eating antioxidants such as cocoa, chocolate.
-Music prostheses are risk factors?
-Mens graft prostheses are not risk factors. For example, a cosmetic surgeon should ask the woman to do a natural bad study with a mastologist before placing a prosthesis. A study conducted with
a mastologist to determine whether he has fibrocystic bad disease, fibro-adenoma or microcalcifications
. There is no study to suggest that bad implants are carcinogenic.
