LONDON (Reuters) – Scientists at the UK Cancer Research Foundation have found the most comprehensive way to predict women's risk of breast cancer, according to a study published by the Foundation on Tuesday.
The method calculates the risk of the disease by combining information on family history and genetics with other factors such as weight, age at menopause, alcohol consumption and alcohol use. 39, use of hormone replacement therapy.
Scientists found that by simultaneously examining these factors, it was possible to identify groups of women with different risks of breast cancer.
"This method can help change the rules of the game for breast cancer, we can now identify a large number of women with different levels of risk, not just high-risk women," said Professor Antonius Antonio author of the study.
Researchers analyzed for the first time more than 300 genetic indicators of breast cancer, making "calculating risk more accurate than ever".
Researchers have also created an online calculator that general practitioners can use in their surgical operations. Some general practitioners, nurses and genetic counselors are testing this tool before using it more widely.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Syria, with 30% of the population, said Firas Al-Jarf, head of the Department of Cancer Control at the Ministry of Health, at SANA last January .
According to the plateau, 70% of cancer cases in Syria are usually detected late.
Early detection of breast cancer worldwide still relies on a radiological examination performed primarily by women after the age of 40.
While the discovery will help determine the age at which women are first invited to breast cancer screening.
Risk calculation can also help women make decisions about preventive treatment by identifying high-risk women and encouraging them to think about how to reduce their own risk.
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.38 million new cases of breast cancer and 458,000 deaths each year.
