Dietary changes can transform your lifestyle and safeguard you from many diseases. There’s no specific food that can cause or prevent breast cancer. But, few dietary changes can help reduce the overall risk of breast cancer. If you’re concerned about your risk of breast cancer, schedule an appointment at Al Zahara’s Female Surgeon Dept. that specializes in providing high quality breast cancer treatment in Dubai at an affordable range. But, above all dietary changes is the first step!!

Here are the drinks, fruits and vegetables that can help prevent breast cancer:

DRINKS – Two drinks that can significantly help prevent breast cancer are Green Tea and Pomegranate Juice.

• Green tea not only helps in weight loss and blood pressure management but also helps in cancer prevention. Green tea is a powerhouse of antioxidants – polyphenol and catechins. It protects cells from DNA damage caused by free radicals. There’s no harm in adding a cup of green tea to your daily routine.
• Pomegranate Juice is also rich in polyphenols. Therefore, it can be termed as a preventive tool that has the potential to prevent certain cancers including breast cancer. However, if you have diabetes, talk with your doctor prior adding a pomegranate juice to your diet for it is typically high in sugar and may affect your blood glucose level.

VEGETABLES – Two types of vegetables that can significantly help prevent breast cancer are Cruciferous and green leafy vegetables

• Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, kale and cabbage are a few vegetables that are ideally rich in antioxidant vitamins such as C, E, and K, and are high in fiber. They are also a rich source of glucosinolates, a type of chemical that has cancer-fighting properties.
• Dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, mustard, turnip and green beets are a powerhouse of nutrition and fiber. They are typically rich in antioxidants and fiber which makes them potent anticancer tools.

WHICH FOODS TO AVOID TO PREVENT BREAST CANCER?

To help prevent breast cancer avoid food containing isoflavones. These naturally occurring chemicals are similar in structure to the hormone estrogen. They work on the same sites where the estrogen does, however, the outcome is very much different. Isoflavone foods may raise breast cancer risk.

If you’re currently on a diet that contains the high amount of isoflavones foods, limit your intake or discuss the same with the healthcare provider. After assessing your overall health, they’ll be able to guide you better about what foods you need to avoid.

Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages for they might increase your risk for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. 

CONCLUSION

It’s a known fact that whatever you eat affects your health. Diet and nutrition plays a vital role in the prevention and fight against breast cancer. Eating healthy is important.

Make sure to schedule an appointment at Female Surgeon UAE mammograms and breast sonograms. If you’ve been diagnosed the same, at Al Zahara the team of board certified doctors provide the best breast cancer treatment in Dubai.

Breast surgery can be divided into four general categories: breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction. Following any type of breast cancer surgery in Dubai-based AlZahra Hospital, women feel more confident, healthy and empowered.

Some of the top reasons why women are preferring breast surgery have been enlisted below:

• Reason #1 – Breast Cancer – Breast surgery is the most common treatment to treat breast cancer. One surgery is the breast sparing surgery in which an operation is done to remove cancer and small amount of cells that surround it. Another surgery is mastectomy in which the whole breast is removed. After the mastectomy, you may choose to have breast reconstruction. These surgeries together with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy kill the cancer cells and imbibe in the patient the confidence to live the life once again to its fullest.

• Reason #2 – Asymmetrical Breast – A little bit of asymmetry is normal and acceptable.But, if there is a drastic difference between the size of your two breasts, and if it bothers you – it is a problem. Breast implants are often used to correct breast asymmetry. The main aim of breast surgeons is to enhance the fullness with an implant, lift and shape the sagging breast tissue, remove the excess skin and reposition the nipple. In case of severe asymmetry, the doctor might also recommend pairing implants with reduction techniques.

• Reason #3 – Tuberous Breasts – Tuberous breast is a type of abnormality where in breasts do not develop fully. It results in asymmetry of breast size and shape that requires an implant surgery and a mastopexy. Majority of patients don’t have an idea that it is a congenital condition. The main aim of the doctors performing breast surgery on patients with tuberous breast is to improve the symmetry and the overall shape of the breast. This is a huge confidence booster for these patients.

• Reason #4 – Inverted Nipple – Inverted nipple is another reason why women undergo breast surgery. The surgeons while conducting such sort of breast surgery in Dubai-based Al Zahra Hospital makes sure to correct the inversion without transecting any ducts. However, if the inversion is severe, ducts will need to be transected to correct the condition.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women both in developed and developing countries. Globally, there were over 2 million new cases of breast cancer in 2018. That’s why top breast cancer surgeons in Dubai and research experts recommend that women who are 40 to 49 years old should talk to their physician about their breast cancer screening options.

What is breast cancer screening?

Screening examinations are tests performed to find breast cancer before the person has any symptoms. The goal of undergoing screening tests is to detect the disease at its most treatable stage. When the symptoms begin to appear, the cancer has grown and starts to spread, making it harder to treat or cure. You should have a physical examination every 1 to 3 years starting at the age of 20 years, every year if you are aged 40 years or above and more frequently if you have a family history of breast cancer. What are the cancer screening tests that you should undergo before symptoms appear?

• Physical Examination: If you notice changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling or skin changes or any lump during self-examination, you should contact your physician immediately. Your healthcare provider will ask you detailed questions about your family history, your health habits and past illnesses. He/she will examine your breasts for any lumps, rashes, dimpling, or redness as well as size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts. A physical examination is an important method of early detection of breast cancer.

• Laboratory Tests: What blood tests are done to detect breast cancer? Complete Blood Count (CBC) is used to determine the types of blood cells/abnormal cells in your body. Blood Marker Test is used to detect cancer activity; cancer cells produce specific protein in the blood that acts as a marker for the cancer. Other blood tests include BRCA1 / BRCA2, HER2 (blood) and Estrogen Receptor/Progesterone Receptor.

• Genetic Tests: Three most well-known genes that can mutate and increase the risk of cancer are BRCA1, BRCA2 and PALB2. The BRCA test is a blood test that analyzes mutations in one of the two breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA1/2). Mutation in the PALB2 gene is linked to hereditary breast cancer. Genetic counseling and these genetic tests are performed by well-renowned surgeons of Female Surgeon UAE, part of Al Zahra Cancer Center in Dubai. Schedule an appointment today if you have a family history of cancer.

• Mammograms: A mammogram is an X-Ray image of your breasts that can help doctors to identify cysts, tumor and cancer. A special X-Ray machine is used to take pictures using low dose X-Ray. A trained radiologist will read the mammogram to detect cancer or other problems.

• Breast MRIs: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and magnets to get a detailed image of the inside of the breast. MRI is used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. It is a safe procedure and does not expose you to harmful radiation. A breast MRI is used in addition to mammogram or other blood tests.

Diagnosing the cancer may not improve the person’s health or prevent it, but if found by screening tests, it will help doctors to treat it at an early stage and save your life. Al Zahra Cancer Center offers comprehensive cancer control by providing quality breast cancer screening services in Dubai as well as advanced treatment and after-care services.
