Breast cancer is the second leading malpractice-related condition with most lawsuits arising out of misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. One problem is that a mammogram may be negative, even for women with a breast lump, but a negative mammogram does not definitively rule out breast cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), they have found out that women who had no children or had their first child after 30 years old have slightly higher risk of getting breast cancer. Having multiple pregnancies or pregnant at an early age seems to reduce the breast cancer risk.
Researchers at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have identified a source that fetal cells taking up residence in the mother before birth. Fetal cells in women may confer immune protection and promote cell repair, such cells also may be harbingers of some autoimmune diseases.
To prove the theory, researchers examined the blood of 82 women post-pregnancy, 35 of whom had had breast cancer. They looked for male DNA in the blood, presuming it was present due to a prior pregnancy. The rationale for this is that it is a relatively definitive matter to detect the male Y chromosome amid the mother’s native which is obviously female cells within a blood sample.
