The Silent Killer: Inflammatory Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is something women think they know all about: Look for lumps; have mammograms; see our doctors.

But none of that will save you from one silent breast cancer killer that women know virtually nothing about.

IThe majority of inflammatory breast cancers are positive for the EGFR receptor, which can be targeted by a new drug called Lapatinib [Tyverb]. Dr Anthony Kong, another Breakthrough scientist, is working to develop a new, sensitive test for predicting, with improved accuracy, a patient’s response to Lapatinib and other targeted treatments. This research could benefit many women with inflammatory breast cancer in the future by helping doctors to select the best treatment for them.

Inflammatory breast cancer is rare and its symptoms are quite different from other types of the disease. In many cases, inflammatory breast cancers share common features with triple-negative (hormone and HER2 receptor negative) cancers. This means that our research into triple-negative breast cancer is relevant to people with inflammatory breast cancer.

cognitogrrl-The chemicals in chemo are poison, which is why patients get sicker. BUT, the chemo is targeted to kill cancer cells, which are normal cells that have mutated and multiplied.

12345678979817-Since you have years of research behind you, then you know that cancer cells are mutant cells, and foods can help prevent cancer cells from forming, but once they have formed they need to be killed and removed. Yes, sometimes they can disappear, but if once cell remains, it can spread again.

And yet again people would rather argue about absolute crap rather then focus on the importance of the video. I agree with ax1sp0wers, you need to lock comments down. However...

* Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group).

* Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.

* Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had...... a 1 out of 152 risk.

* Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of

getting breast cancer.The overall difference between 24 vs 0 a 125-fold difference

I put your comment ratings back at 0. These are sheeple and you shouldn't waste your energy trying to wake their stupid asses up. Even the doctors are fucking stupid. My mother's body looked like a science experiment when she died from BREAST CANCER! You PhD Oncologists are very miseducated! And for you all to continue implementing treatments that don't work, that makes you miseducated and stupid. Stop taking lives!

hey KOMO4,

the freedom to leave comments is a blessed thing, but maybe you should lock it down. instead of informative stories from survivors or people who know the disease from experience, it appears people want to push rhetoric and be nasty to others who differ in opinion.

KNEW you were in the Medical Field somehow. I have seen people cured from cancer and many other diseases with natural things and eating only alkaline foods. I don't need to show you that poll, mostly because I don't want to, because you have a "boxed in brain" that only sees drugs, chemo and nasty vaccines. I am also done with this conversation, I have my own opinion, you have yours but no matter what Chemo IS poison. I bet you don't even know what the devil is in that crap. See ya
