Al-Marsad newspaper: Dr. Freya Ramzy explained the reasons for the recurrence of breast cancer to the patient after treatment.

During an interview with MBC, she said that the return of the disease depends on several factors, including the size of the mass at diagnosis, and in the advanced stages, the armpits may be infected, in addition to the degree of severity of the disease.

And she continued, with advanced treatments, it is possible that advanced or aggressive tumors need more treatments, and the cure rate is high and the rate of disease recurrence is not high.

She pointed out that the incidence of breast cancer is not limited to women only, but also includes men, albeit in a rare proportion. For every thousand cases of cancer, one is in men, pointing out that men have a mammary gland.

She pointed out that there are risk factors behind breast cancer in men, including cirrhosis of the liver, the use of estrogen to treat prostate diseases, testicular tumors, and radiation exposure.
