Comprehensive Medical Advice on Colon Cancer

With 1 million new cases in the world each year, breast cancer is the commonest malignancy in women. Although the disease is so common, the diagnosis is always a shock for the women. Men rarely suffer from breast cancer, there are about 500 men in Germany which are diagnosed every year. About 5% of breast cancers are hereditary.

Many – about 70% – are permanently cureable. Nevertheless, there is a fear of a recurrence or progression of the disease. The treatment is often associated with different therapies over a long period of time.
