Breast cancer treatment: survival facts and associated side effects

  • Drashti Joshi

Abstract

In the world the cancer is a prevailing disease therefore some rational and effective therapy required. The breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in a woman and now a day’s patients are increase. Therefore, development and research are ongoing on the effective treatment on breast cancer. The breast cancer treatment is depending on the cancer stage disease and risk, based on this therapeutic agent should be employed in the patients to protect the breast cancer disease. Such treatments are reducing the mortality and morbidity but constant monitoring of drug adverse effect. Moreover, it has been seen that the survival rates in breast cancer is rising that is good news for science but on the other side the side effects of the treatments bring new challenges.  The early stage diagnosis of the breast cancer can survive the effective or healthy patient life because of long-term and various treatment can be employed on the cancer disease otherwise breast cancer is life threatening illness. Survivors of breast cancer have not only the side effects issues of the cancer therapy treatment but also, they have many other issues of previous treatments therefore it is challenging job for the researchers. Consequently, this review article is dealing with the breast cancer effective treatments and side effects of it. Moreover, it includes the other long-term medical issues after breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. This review will help to the researchers for better understanding of the long-term medical issues in the breast cancer.

Keywords: Breast cancer, Adjuvant therapy, Chemotherapy, Endocrine therapy, Breast cancer treatment side effects and long-term medical issues.
