THE BEST!!!

Yes!  THE BEST treatment of breast cancer with earlier diagnosis!!!

Earlier diagnosis gives more options for a more treatable disease.  This is not cookie-cutter medicine and does not mean a blanket recommendation but a customized, individualized treatment plan designed to fit you and your cancer!  That is the job of the breast doctor: to treat you as the woman who has the breast cancer.  Not to over treat (like has been in the news recently), but to make a treatment plan that is appropriate for you.  

Call 512-451-5788 to make an appointment today for:

• Prevention, so that we may see FEWER breast cancers
• RIsk Assessment so that we may make an EARLIER diagnosis
• Personalized treatment plan, THE BEST for you

Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancer cases this year!

EARLIER!!

Yes!  EARLIER diagnosis of breast cancer saves lives!!

We have all seen the USA statistics in this blog http://drwinsett.blogspot.com/2012/09/one-important-statistic.html.

Five year survival for breast cancer limited to the breast is 98%.

How do we achieve that success?

• Appropriate screening, which means individualizing the recommendation for breast cancer screening to the woman based on her risk determined by:
• Personal history
• Family history
• Personal genetics
• Clinical characteristics like breast density

We offer a personal Breast Cancer Risk Assessment individualized to you derived from the information above and possibly the HALO Breast Pap Test, The BREVAGen Breast Cancer RIsk Assessment and/or BRACAnalysis (which ever may apply).  With this information we are able to give you a risk assessment and tailor the screening to you.  Call us 512-451-5788.    

Fortunately, most of you will never get breast cancer, but for those that will, our goal is to find it EARLIER!!

EARLIER doesn't just mean better treatment options but THE BEST!!! 

THE BEST!!! discussed in the next blog post.  Please check back tomorrow.

The BEST and worst about weight!

I know so many are so tired of hearing about it, but facts are facts.


What is the BEST thing you can do about weight?

• Be lean!

What is the worst thing you can do about weight?

• Be overweight!

Almost too many studies to count have shown that there are fewer of the most common kinds of breast cancers in LEAN women.  Furthermore, one of the most quotable studies demonstrated that for women over 50 years, each pound gained equals 1% more breast cancer risk; but, even better, each pound lost and kept off equals 2% FEWER breast cancers! Weight is that important a risk factor for breast cancer.

The BEST and worst for early detection

Yesterday: the BEST and worst for breast cancer prevention.

 Today: early detection of breast cancer.

1.  What is the BEST thing you can do to detect breast cancer early?

• keep your regular doctor appointments!

2.  What is the worst thing you can do? (i.e. miss out on early detection)

• skip regular screening!

Numerous studies have shown that smaller cancers are easier to treat, get over and survive. Tumors 10mm or less have overall survival of greater than 95% data has shown. Furthermore, studies, both in the community and at University setting, have shown that regular follow-up is the way to find those small tumors, which most often are treated by lumpectomy, maybe or maybe not radiation, most often not chemotherapy and sometimes anti-hormone therapy. 

I know most who already know this and come to regular screening (clinical breast examination, mammography and ultrasound when applicable or even other modalities); but we need to share this good news with those friends and relatives who don't participate in regular screening, BECAUSE


Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancer cases each year and we teach breast cancer prevention at each visit!  Feel free to share this information.

The Best and the worst

Two questions came up this weekend that I thought I would share:

1.  What is the BEST thing I can do for myself to prevent breast cancer?

• Get up and get moving!

2.  What is the worst thing I can do?  (i.e. to get breast cancer)

• Be sedentary.

Numerous studies have shown the preventive effects of movement, activity, and exercise for preventing breast cancer.  Numerous studies have shown the deleterious effects of being sedentary: the longer you sit still, the more likely you are to get breast cancer.   

So, get up and get moving!

If you want to make certain that you do not have breast cancer and then learn more things you may do to be proactive and reduce your risk for breast cancer,  call to make an appointment, 512-451-5788.
