A story on breast cancer II

However, with regard to breast cancer story is far from over, we talk in the final, Mary Clair said that she engage in a lifetime breast cancer genetic research, but now found as the family has obvious as the genetic characteristics of breast cancer only a matter of fact Case Not less than one-tenth of the other 90 per cent of the breast cancer patients with genetic diseases in fact no direct relations. So in the end what is the causal factor in breast cancer? »

Now more popular is that a person's risk of breast cancer get sick from the first period with her first child to the health of the relevant time interval, the longer the interval, the greater the risk of illness! The discovery of historical data, in the mid-19th century, generally a 15-year-old girl to menstruation, 20-year-old Health and first child, so is the five-year intervals; Now, an average of 12-year-old girl started menstruation, 25-year-old Health The first child, the whole of the interval by more than double, while breast cancer is likely to get sick just by the more than double. In addition to historical data, scientists are still made in the modern women's risk of breast cancer associated with the time between the curve, also found a similar proportional relationship between some physiologist from the growth of cancer cells by a mechanism in the interpretation of this law . . . Of course, is still at the stage of hypotheses, but even if true-in other words, but also the law of the group, put each of them still can not predict!

Mentioned here, I think, if this hypothesis is correct, it is really a very helpless and irony! From the 19th century to the present, this society is a major progress of women have freedom of choice, now (of course, in most cases), women have access to higher education, to have equal status to competition, have full freedom To choose the subject of marriage, the right to decide independently whether or not the children and when to children, all this freedom and equality, including the direct consequences of social pressure on women's larger, naturally formed on the above mentioned The time interval of growth! With these women in freedom, under these pressures, all of a sudden heard such a return: "Oh, you are more likely to have a breast cancer! FAINT !!!!!!

And carefully think about this equality and opportunity is not abstract many people may seek to return for a lifetime, now we have to tell them: "Oh, you talk to these may make you a breast cancer !!! FAINT !!!!!! FAINT !!!!!! FAINT !!!!!!

So I said to Mary Clair: "Prof. King, as much as I respect and admire your work, I hope this is not true!" Mary Clair answered very lovely. "Easy, kid! This is not my favorite either! Have I told you that I had my first baby when I was 33?". . . . . .

When we talk after the end, I would like to have this problem, I suddenly found before the hope that a bit useless, this hypothesis is right or wrong fait accompli, not my hope can be changed, and for a useful point of hope should be "I hope we can find the truth early! '

Because whether or not to this hypothesis, the more profound the power of science is that it should be a very early discovery of the truth, even if the truth is not so satisfactory! Women have the freedom of choice and equality of status is always a good thing, science can help in this one is for women to choose to do in the time have sufficient information to make informed decision!
