Advances in oncological therapy have significantly improved breast cancer survival; therefore comorbid conditions are becoming more relevant. We investigated the prevalence of prior cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in patients with breast cancer compared to those in the general
Two cases of postoperative brain metastasis of breast cancer were evaluated after chemotherapy using ACNU. Case 1: A 47-year-old female, who had undergone right standard radical mastectomy in 1979 for breast cancer (T2 N0M0, papillo-tubular carcinoma), was treated with ADM, TAM, and 60Co irradiation
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in early-stage breast cancer survivors. Recent studies suggest that bisphosphonates may decrease CVD risk in older patients.This study sought to assess whether bisphosphonate use is associated Although the effectiveness of tamoxifen in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer is well established, associations between tamoxifen and the occurrence of atherosclerotic events are not as clear. Breast cancer patients taking tamoxifen have lower serum cholesterol and other lipid levels than
Self-administered health-status questionnaires are important tools in epidemiology. The objective of the presented validation study is to measure the agreement between breast cancer patients' self-reports and their physicians' information on late cardiac events, and to investigate The cardiovascular protective effects of estrogen are known to be mediated by its beneficial effects on lipid metabolism and its direct actions on the vessel wall. The latter can be mediated by a specific receptor for estrogen present on smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. The gene for the
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies diagnosed in women and it is increasing in incidence. Siegesbeckia glabrescens (SG) has been used in traditional oriental medicine to treat cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and angina pectoris. This study examined whether or not SG

The use of estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women is under close scrutiny. The indications and side effects of replacement therapy are reviewed, and recommendations regarding its use are made. Hot flashes, atrophy of the vaginal epithelium, and prevention of osteoporosis have been
Can the diagnosis of common diseases before menopause influence age at natural menopause (ANM) onset?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and depression were observed to delay menopause.

OBJECTIVE
Age of patients by itself is no longer a contra-indication for most medical interventions. The increase of possible interventions for elderly patients has contributed to a sharp age-specific increase of health care costs. Our study aimed to increase the insight in medical decision-making
A case of 53-year-old female with unstable angina pectoris and primary right breast cancer is presented. Simultaneous operation including coronary artery bypass grafting and modified radical mastectomy was performed. On the beating heart coronary anastomoses were done without cardiopulmonary bypass
Cardiovascular diseases represent the major cause of death in women. If women are early in life relatively protected by their hormones, after the menopause heart disease and stroke become their greatest health threat. Altogether one in three women will die of cardiovascular disease whereas only one
BACKGROUND
We hypothesized that the estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) IVS1-397T/C polymorphism affects high-density lipoprotein cholesterol response to hormone replacement therapy and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer of reproductive organs, and hip fracture.
RESULTS
We studied
Large childhood body size has been consistently shown to be associated with decreased breast cancer risk. However, it is important to consider the effects of a large childhood body size on other adult diseases. It is not clear if the associations between childhood body size and adult diseases will
