Breast cancer survivors have increased risk of cancer recurrence, study

Cambridge: A new study has found that people who are cured of breast cancer have an increased risk of other cancers.

According to media reports, British researchers in their recent study revealed that although a person cured of breast cancer has a very low risk of developing another cancer, it is still higher than those who have never had breast cancer. Cancer did not occur.

“This is the largest study to date of the risk of other cancers among breast cancer survivors,” said Antonis Antoniou, a researcher at the University of Cambridge in the UK and senior author of the study.

Antonis and his team looked at data from more than 580,000 women and more than 3,500 men who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 1995 and 2019.

The researchers found that all women who survived breast cancer had twice the risk of developing a tumor in the second breast compared to women who had never had breast cancer, while men who had been cured had a 55% higher risk of developing the cancer again. It was more.
