The relationship between smoking and breast cancer recurrence
To prevent and deal with breast cancer, we can use some effective methods. One of these methods is to quit smoking. Doctors have warned women that excessive smoking may cause the recurrence of this dangerous cancer in their bodies. become
In their recent study, researchers from Lund University concluded that common treatments for breast cancer work less well among women who smoke than others. “Those women smokers who were treated with aromatase inhibitors were three times more likely to have breast cancer recurrence than non-smokers,” says study author Helena Jernström. This study showed that women who smoke with breast cancer face the risk of dying from breast cancer or other diseases. According to the report of the British Journal of Cancer, Swedish researchers in this study examined 1,16 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 2002 and 2012. The important point that this study shows is that women over 50 years old who are treated with aromatase inhibitors are severely exposed to the risks of smoking. In addition, the researchers found during the study that few patients were willing to quit smoking, even though they were aware of the importance of doing so and its positive impact on their recovery.
