Breast Cancer in Coahuila: Recent Statistics and Expert Insights
According to the latest data, Coahuila witnessed a total of 764 new breast cancer cases in 2024. Specifically, around 27 cases were reported in the Sanitary Jurisdiction No. 6, encompassing the municipalities of Torreón, Matamoros, and Viesca. INCAN specialists highlight both inherent and exogenous factors influencing breast cancer, emphasizing lifestyle modifications to reduce risks.
Key Factors Contributing to Breast Cancer
INCAN experts have identified family history and age as primary intrinsic factors for breast cancer. Exogenous factors, which can be modified, include smoking, alcohol consumption, pollution, diet, obesity, and hormone treatments. Understanding and addressing these factors can significantly lower the risk of developing breast cancer.
Age as a Critical Risk Factor
Notably, INCAN specialists indicate that if all women lived to 80 years, approximately eight out of 10 would develop breast cancer. The age group most at risk in Mexico is women between 40 and 60 years old. Awareness and preventive measures are paramount in this demographic.
Prevention and Early Detection
Mastography (mammography) and ultrasound screenings are recommended annually starting at age 40. For those with a family history of the disease, these screenings should commence at age 35. Early detection dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment and survival. The probability of recovery stands at 95% in the early stages, compared to 70% in advanced stages.
Recognizing Symptoms of Breast Cancer
The symptoms of breast cancer can include a painless nodule or thickening in the breast, changes in size, shape, or aspect, dimpling, redness, cracks, changes in the nipple or surrounding skin, and any anomalous or bloody discharge from the nipple. Anyone experiencing such symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
This update serves as a stark reminder for all women to take control of their health, educate themselves, and prioritize regular screenings. Early detection and prompt medical intervention are critical in battling this disease.
