Azerbaijanis Attitudes Toward Cancer
 

– Reported, January 23, 2013

 

When it comes to matters of health and disease in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the most dreaded word is “cancer”. Approximately 10,000 people out of a population of 7+ million are diagnosed annually with cancer in Azerbaijan. Currently, there are about 40,000 cases. Mamma cancer is the most frequent type of cancer among women and is a leading cause of cancer death among women in Azerbaijan Republic. The prevalence of the disease varies in different regions of the country. The purpose of this study was to examine statistics of mamma cancer in large areas of Azerbaijan Republic (the state of cancer care, morbidity, mortality) and assessment of statistical indicators in the dynamics.

For women, breast cancer is the most prevalent. Unfortunately, its incidence seems to be increasing. There are many reasons. Some, no doubt, are linked to food and the polluted environment. It has been proven that more than 700 carcinogen elements enter the human organism together with food. Often this occurs in food preservation or processing. It has also been proven that cancer is likely to occur ten times more among people using animal fat than those who use vegetable oil.

In the case of breast cancer, if we catch the disease in the early stages, we carry out mastectomies. Women consider it a great tragedy to lose their breasts but they have little alternative if they want to live. We follow with chemotherapy if necessary. More modern procedures exist, using laser techniques to remove only the tumor.
