So for my disorder, I decided to choose breast cancer.
- 00:05 - 00:09
Some symptoms and characteristics of breast cancer are new humps
- 00:09 - 00:12
in the breast or under arm thickening or swelling of
- 00:12 - 00:15
parts of the breast and irritation or dimpling of breast
- 00:15 - 00:19
skin. So what causes this disorder and what is the
- 00:19 - 00:20
genetic cause?
- 00:20 - 00:24
Well, breast cancer is caused by a genetic mutation with
- 00:25 - 00:27
the B R C a one R B R C
- 00:27 - 00:28
a two gene that is inherited.
- 00:29 - 00:33
Normally, these genes are supposed to make proteins that help
- 00:33 - 00:34
repair damaged DNA.
- 00:35 - 00:37
But since these genes are mutated, the cells of normally
- 00:38 - 00:39
grow, which leads to cancer.
- 00:39 - 00:43
Breast cancer is located on the 17th chromosome, B R
- 00:43 - 00:44
C. A one and B R C.

type of breast cancer statistics.
- 00:58 - 01:00
So how common is the disorder?
- 01:01 - 01:04
While breast cancer is very common for women, there is
- 01:04 - 01:06
a one and eight chance that a woman will get
- 01:07 - 01:10
it. What portion of the human population is affected by
- 01:10 - 01:11
this disorder?
- 01:11 - 01:15
13% of women will get breast cancer, and why are
- 01:15 - 01:18
women more prone to get breast cancer, while the breast
- 01:18 - 01:21
cells and women get more exposed to growth, promoting effects
- 01:21 - 01:29
of their hormones, diagnosis and treatment.
- 01:30 - 01:32
How is the disorder Diagnosed?
- 01:33 - 01:38
Doctors use breast ultrasounds, diagnostic mammograms, magnetic imaging, which are
- 01:38 - 01:40
also called MRIs and biopsies.
- 01:41 - 01:45
Some treatments Doctors can treat breast cancer through surgery, chemotherapy,
- 01:46 - 01:50
hormonal therapy, biological therapy and radiation therapy.
- 01:51 - 01:54
Testing Screening tests happened nearly for people who are most
- 01:55 - 01:57
likely to not have it just in case symptoms show
- 01:57 - 02:00
up. Women who are in their forties and up should
- 02:00 - 02:02
get tested for breast cancer.
- 02:07 - 02:07
Life expectancy.
- 02:08 - 02:12
Women who have non metastases breast cancer usually live for
- 02:12 - 02:13
10 years.
- 02:13 - 02:15
But for women who don't have it usually live for
- 02:15 - 02:16
five years.
- 02:16 - 02:20
The prognosis is 90% current research.
- 02:21 - 02:24
The most current research was in 2019, when the drug
- 02:24 - 02:27
to centric was approved for the use of women who
- 02:28 - 02:30
have advanced triple negative breast cancer.
- 02:35 - 02:36
And here are my sources.
- 02:38 - 02:39
Okay. Thank you.
- 02:39 - 02:39
Bye bye.
