Profiling Young Women with Cancer
Breast cancer is among the most frequently diagnosed menaces in young women and mainly those aged below 45. This therefore implies that cancer related mortality is majorly caused by cancer. In young women, the disease abbreviate as BC illustrates a more biologically aggressive ailment and therefore carries a worse prognosis. Also young women diagnosed for BC experience a considerable decrease in social life, mental health in addition to sexual functioning compared to the older counterparts. BC is a public health hazard in developing nations, where the incidence of the disease is constantly on the rise and in places where young women comprise a higher percentage of the total BC patient population. In Latin America for instance, women aged below 45 illustrate up to 20 percent of the novel BC cases and approximately 15 percent of all deaths.
The frequency of BC in Japanese females is rising fast. About 61,000 females are identified with breast cancer yearly in the Asian country. BC rarely appears in very young women; but, management issues in young patients have to be taken into account, not only health as well as social factors, but also matrimonial and reproductive hazards. BC arising in young women is said to be more hostile and associated with negative prognoses. Because of the restricted number of patients and unavailability of clinical experiments using young women with BC, both medical practitioners’ and patients face an absence of information concerning decision-making to choose treatment, involving the form of surgery and the decision of adjuvant therapy. Since ensuing life plans may be changed by the form of treatment selected, information on the clinical traits of breast cancer in young women and trends in medical therapy is required in clinical practice.
