Breast Cancer Is Becoming A Chronic Disease

Our own doctor stated that breast cancer can now be monitored closely like a chronic disease for many years and said, “The number of women who are diagnosed and cured at an early stage with screening facilities and the number of women living with breast cancer is increasing day by day with the success rates achieved at different stages.” According to the statistics, one out of eight women has breast cancer, however successful results achieved are promising, our own doctor said, “Regardless of the stage, it is possible to live healthily for many years with treatment and follow-ups in breast cancer. However, at this point, being able to manage cancer right from the treatment comes to the fore. He said, “Cancer can be defeated by acting smarter with the knowledge gained about both the structure of cancer and the use and side effects of drugs.”

Appropriate Strategy Must Be Developed

Stating that the number of women living with breast cancer is increasing day by day, both in women who are diagnosed and cured at an early stage with screening opportunities and with success rates at different stages, Prof. Ağalar said, “Managing cancer as a chronic disease emerges at this point. A strategy should be developed against the disease that is so close to us. Since we cannot eliminate environmental factors, then we have to get used to living with cancer. We will accept that cancer is a chronic disease and we need to draw a road map and strategy in this direction. In this way, it will be possible for us to make it a disease that we will live with for many years, just like diabetes and rheumatism, in cases where we cannot fully recover. ‘’
