Re: Interesting physician blog on breast cancer
Nancy,
The theory of a virus is an intereting one.
Cancers are highly individual from a genetic and molecurlar perspecitve. It would be wonderful to have a vaccine -
I have a few discussion with the dr. on a vaccine for breast cancer and at this time they all just shake their heads back and forth. Many people can be infected with a cancer causing virus, and never get cancer. The virus only causes cancer in certain situations.
There is early research being done on bacteria as some researchers think bacteria plays an important role in causing cancer in certain people. This is a very interesting topic and the future years hopefully will produce some valuable information. Ahhh if only all could be solved and cured with antibiotics, so getting rid of the infection could be a way to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
Please let us know what Dr. S says in December.
thank you.
Jean
