Chance to get breast cancerfrightened the world legend and forced herself to lie under the knife. The probability of 87% was the indication for bilateral amputation of the breast, as a result of which Angelina Jolie removed the mammary glands. The world star did not wait until this fate overtook her. As the doctors themselves say, this is an extremely painful operation.
Probability of illness
Angelina Jolie's disease was not found, doctorsonly reported a 87% chance of maternal transmission. Unfortunately, the biography of Angelina Jolie is overshadowed by the death at a young age of her mother and grandmother from breast cancer. Therefore, Angelina did not wait until the cancer develops with her, and decided to go under the knife. Recall that Jolie Angelina is now the mother of six children, three of whom are relatives, and three are foster. She promised them that she would never leave them. Jolie said she did it solely for the sake of her children.
As American doctors report, moderntechnology allows them to determine who and what can get sick. Healthy people are given a great chance to prevent disease. Angelina could not get sick, but the chances were reduced to 9: 1. All this because of poor heredity.
Operation
Angelina Jolie removed the mammary glands in oneof the best clinics in the USA. Her husband Brad Pitt was always at her side. They did everything in secret, the paparazzi are now nervously biting their elbows, because they never managed to find out anything and shoot them.
Doctor actress, Dr. Karlan, once treated hermother. Therefore, the heredity of film stars is well known to her. In the early 90s. The doctor was in a group of specialists who found that a single gene mutation leads to the development and development of ovarian and breast cancer. Unfortunately, this mutation is inherited from the parents of the person.
Dr. Karlan argues that in the XXI century, with modern technology, it is extremely important to determine which of the relatives are sick and who have died from what. This knowledge can save the lives of the next generation.
Such a bold move will allow a woman longerstay close to your children. After all, she knows firsthand what it is to lose a loved one. Her mother and grandmother had ovarian and breast cancer. Not everyone can make this choice, but Angelina has added confidence in the future.
Stunning news
The news that Angelina Jolie has removedthe mammary glands, which were quite healthy, shook the world. The New York stock exchanges even reacted to this. Shares of a monopolistic company that deals with the production of products for genetic analysis, rose by 4%. The actress’s actress aroused admiration and a lot of calls to women’s profiling clinics. Thousands of women around the world wanted to check their health.
Although Angelina did not become a pioneer here.Jolie Breast removal operations were done long before it. For example, the wife of the 38th US President Gerald Ford Betty, in 1974, had such an operation. This was the prevention of cancer.
For three months, the actress suffered 3operations. During this time, she was seen more than once with her husband in a cinema, a museum, she even attended the G8 London Summit, was on the podium of the World Women's Forum in New York, flew to Congo as a goodwill ambassador. No one knew and did not guess the problem, because she never complained about her state of health and even wore her own backpacks. Today, the mammary glands are removed, and implants stand in their place.
Mastectomy
Commonplace in the USA and Western Europe isprophylactic mastectomy. Previously, appendicitis and healthy tonsils were easily excised there. These operations are carried out to eliminate the possibility of inflammation. Today, girls who are at risk are offered to get rid of healthy fallopian tubes.
Most recently, the principle of cancer cells in women has been discovered. It turns out that they are beginning to emerge in these organs. But to cut them or not, everyone decides for himself.
Deputy Director of Scientific OncologyCenter D. Zaridze argues that there are two ways to treat this disease. The first is the removal, and the second is the active observation of women with increased hereditary risks of developing breast cancer. This means that a woman should be examined every six months, and perhaps more often: do a mammogram and ultrasound.
Forewarned is forearmed
In the US, breast removal costs about 50thousand dollars, and analysis of the gene mutation - about 3.5 thousand dollars. In Russia, such a procedure will cost about 20 thousand rubles, but this is not cheap. Experts remind that self-prevention is the best way to prevent the disease, especially since it is free.
Honored Russian doctor E.Lilin says that the simplest thing to do is to prevent a tumor from developing. Every morning, in front of the mirror, a woman should feel her chest so that there are no seals, balls or nodules. UN statistics announced frightening numbers. About 500,000 women in the world get breast cancer in a year! Of these, less than 1% inherited cancer. Gene mutation is just one of 700 possible causes of oncology.
In one of the letters in the New York Times actresssays she didn’t feel worse after that. “On a personal level, I didn’t stop being a woman, but on the contrary, I felt stronger that I was able to make such a difficult choice,” says Angelina Jolie. The operations that she suffered and that she has yet to undergo, she sees as another obstacle to personal happiness.
What awaits the actress?
Perhaps the biography of Angelina Jolie in the near futuretime replenished with another unpleasant fact. After all, now she has to remove the ovaries. Today, the actress is gaining strength and is preparing for an operation. Doctors say that after Angelina Jolie has removed the mammary glands, the mutation can spread to the ovaries. The probability of developing a malignant tumor on these organs is 50:50, and after removal, the proportion will drop to 1:20. For Jolie, this is a very important advantage, so probably she will do it all the same, taking the matter to the end. We wish her and her big family good health.
