Question Answered step-by-step (Chapter 41, 42) Include the seven warning signs of cancer that youshould educate individuals about when conducting a community service education program on breast and prostate cancer. Please use below reference: Linda Anne Silvestri: Angela E. Silvestri (2018) Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX -PN Examination (7h ed.). Elsevier  Prostate cancer     One of the most common male cancers is prostate cancer. There are several types of prostate cancer, but the vast majority of them are slow-growing and do not pose a significant threat to the patient. Others are aggressive and can spread rapidly.  Symptoms: -Urinary problems -Urine flow is less forceful. -Urine with a small amount of blood -The semen contains blood. -Pain in the bones -Weight loss without effort -Inability to ejaculateCauses:     Prostate cancer is caused by alterations in the DNA of prostate cells. Normal cell growth and division are sped up as a result of the modifications. When other cells would have died, the aberrant cells continue to live on. Tumors are formed when abnormal cells build up in the body. Some aberrant cells can break away and spread to other places of the body (metastasis). Hazard factors:Prostate cancer risk can be increased by a number of factors, including: -Age-related. As you become older, your risk of developing prostate cancer goes up. Since age 50, it’s more common. -Race. People of African American descent are more likely to develop prostate cancer than people of other races for unknown reasons. It is also more common in Black men for prostate cancer to be more progressed or aggressive. -The history of one’s ancestors. Having a blood relative with prostate cancer may raise your risk. In addition, your chance of developing prostate cancer may be elevated if you carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene or if your family has a long history of the disease. -Obesity. People who are obese are more likely to have aggressive tumors that are recurrences, and they are more likely to relapse after initial therapy. However, studies have yielded conflicting results. Complications of prostate cancer: -Spreading disease (metastasizes) -Incontinence.  -A problem with sex. Prevention: -Choose a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in animal products. Get your fill of fruits, veggies and whole grains by eating a wide range of them. Avoid supplements in favor of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.   -Maintaining a healthy weight with regular exercise, and it can also enhance your attitude.Treatment: – Recently introduced 3D prostate targeted treatment that does not cause any pan during treatment and can remove or even destroy cancer.  -Cryotherapy for prostate cancer freezes prostate tissue, causing cancer cells to die. This type of treatment is sometimes used as an alternative to surgical removal of the prostate glands. -Alternative therapies include Saw Palmetto or Pomegranate juice. Breast cancer     Women are most commonly affected by breast cancer, which is the most prevalent invasive cancer. Female cancer fatalities are also disproportionately high as a result of this factor. Symptoms: -swollen patch of tissue in the breast, a lump in the breast, or a lump in the armpit. -The pain in the armpits or breasts does not change with the monthly cycle. -Pockmarking, such as the surface of an orange, or color changes such as redness in the breast skin have been described. -a rash around or around the nipple of one arm -A nipple discharge that may contain blood is defined as follows: -a nipple that is sunken or inverted -breast enlargement or reduction in size or form -the skin of the breast or nipple peeling, flaking, or scaling -The vast majority of breast lumps are not malignant. Those who suspect that they have a lump in their breast should have it checked by a healthcare practitioner.Causes:     In most cases, genetic mutations or DNA damage are responsible for the development of breast cancer. There is evidence that these are related with estrogen exposure, inherited genetic abnormalities, or hereditary genes that are associated with cancer, such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.      Milk duct cancer and lobule cancer, which supply the milk ducts with milk, are the most common sites where breast cancer begins. It has the potential to spread to other parts of the body from there. Factors that increase risk:   1. Age   2. Genetics   3. History of breast cancer or breast lumps-     A person who has had breast cancer is more likely to develop it again than a person with no history of the disease. Prevention:      In early breast cancer detection is to perform monthly self-breast examinations, simple urinary tests for estrogen metabolites, or byproducts of estrogen metabolism, have been shown to help show a person’s increased or decreased risk of developing estrogen related cancers.                                                                                                      Treatment:      Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are cancer treatment is fairly common. Chemotherapy affects the entire body by going through the bloodstream. The goal is to rid the body of any cancer that could possibly spread from the breast into other parts of the body. Radiation therapy is precisely focused which means it is going to affect only the specific area designated by the radiologist.  Health Science Science Nursing COHORT 15 PNR 106 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
