Breast Cancer and New Challenges in Iran: an Opinion Letter_Crimson Publishers


Breast Cancer and New Challenges in Iran: An Opinion Letter by Ziba Farajzadegan in Investigations in Gynecology Research& Women’s Health
Iran as an upper middle-income country is in an epidemiological transition period. This transition includes nutritional, life style, age pyramid and consequently disease pattern. Due to these gross transitions, we have a great deal with chronic diseases, including cancers. Breast cancer is one of five common cancers in Iran and accounts for 14.2% of all women’s cancer. Around 10,000 new cases are registered each year. This disease is the primary cause of mortality among women aged 45-55 years.

It seems breast cancer occurs 10-12 years earlier than other countries. Median age of cancer is 49 years and (more than 30% of the patients are younger than 30 years). Tumors are often diagnosed in grade III and IV. On the other hand, when breast cancer is detected, it has reached advanced stages, which means more complicated treatment, higher costs and less success in treatment. Fortunately, over the past few years, increased consciousness has led to tumors being discovered in smaller sizes.

However, these Brazilian butt lift procedures are the deadliest in aesthetic surgery. One in every 3000 patients dies of a fat embolism. Injecting fat into the buttocks can easily lead to serious problems if done incorrectly [3]. Most of the 33 deaths have been attributed to unqualified doctors, but underreporting is very likely. Besides fatal fat embolism,

Psychological Health Status and Oral Health Outcomes of Pregnant Women: Practical Implications by Irosha Perera in Womens Health Journal_ Gynecology Open Access Journals Opinion Pregnancy marks an important milestone in the life cycle of a woman garnered by a milieu of physiological, psychological, emotional, social and even spiritual health needs [1]. Ensuring safe motherhoods and pregnancy outcomes for a healthy mother and a baby have become priorities for health policy makers and health care delivery models both in developed and developing country scenarios. Moreover, pregnancy denotes an opportune time for intergenerational investment in health outcomes. It is well known that physiological changes that are taking place during pregnancy could give rise to demanding psychological health concerns among pregnant women compounded by their social determinates such as i.e. level of education, marital status and satisfaction, level of income, parity, minority status, having heal
