The
new study found that breast cancer patients gene information could help
physicians determine whether chemotherapy is effective in combating the
type of cancer that annually kill millions of women in the world.Choose between effective treatment and preventive surgery is an important decision in the fight against breast cancer. New
research concludes that the information gene can confirm whether cancer
patients chemotherapy the best choice that must be done. world trends
Information gene has been widely used to help guide the treatment of breast cancer to predict and better prevention.Sandra Cohen always be wary of getting breast cancer because her mother and grandmother died from the disease. But thanks to the gene test, she and her doctor can decide to perform preventive surgery. He said he now felt better and recommend genetic testing to others who have similar medical history.
The study looked at response and survival of women newly diagnosed with breast cancer in cancer treatment. This data is based on tumor samples taken from 310 patients treated with two chemotherapy drugs.The
researchers said the gene information of patients to be a good way to
predict which tumors are really sensitive to chemotherapy and are
resistant to chemotherapy.Dr. Charis
Eng a cancer researcher who did not participate in the study said,
"Prediction is always a good idea,
because if we can predict accurately,
we can know. Think of "crystal ball" says this person will not recover if given the standard treatment for early stage breast cancer. That
would make them more alert doctors and trying to overcome the cancer
that grows longer faster or even give a very aggressive treatment.
"The
investigators agreed such a test could prevent patients treated with
drugs in which their bodies do not respond or could become a more
personal treatment.Experts say the gene
test also reduces the cost of health care and allow doctors to attack
the malignant tumor without losing valuable time.The
experts in this study said that more needs to study more, but believe
their findings will become an additional weapon in the fight against
breast cancer.
