A new report being published today found powerful evidence that the sharp decline in the use of hormones that began in 2002 by menopausal women caused a dramatic drop in breast cancer cases.
The researchers estimated that, because of the decreased hormone use, about 16,000 fewer cases of
breast cancer are being diagnosed each year. The research shows an amazing reversal of a decades-long increase in breast cancer cases.
The report is exciting news. Women still need to perform regular breast exams and get their mammograms to prevent a delay in diagnosing breast cancer. Even though it is the clinic's or doctor's responsibility to inform patients of test results, to be proactive, and prevent a possible delay in diagnosis of cancer, patients should also ask for the results of tests rather than assume no news is good news.
Our firm regularly handles cases of delayed diagnosis of cancer -- breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and lung cancer to name a few.
