Hormones; A Potential Cause of and Solution to Breast Cancer?

When a severe medical condition leads to disability and an individual being unable to work, Social Security disability benefits may be available to help cover lost wages. Depending on the severity of your condition and if you meet the listing of impairments criteria, these disability benefits may be available.

Disabled World reports that researchers have found a potential correlation between oestrogen and the risk of and treatment of aggressive breast cancer. These findings were recently shared in the Breast Cancer Research and Treatment publication and will be presented in the upcoming International Conference on Breast Cancer.

Oestrogen is a hormone that facilitates the development and functioning of the breast. At the same time, this naturally-occurring hormone also can be a risk factor in the development of breast cancer.

In some cases, breast cancer stem cells don't respond to traditional treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy, so researchers have been seeking out alternative treatment options. As such, they are exploring whether oestrogen might be useful in treating aggressive breast cancers.

Researchers have been able to identify how oestrogen affects the growth of cancer cells and with continued studies, hope to find new opportunities to help in the fight to prevent breast cancer using this hormone therapy.
