By Apollo 24|7 plastic surgeon Srinjoy Saha Breast cancer is not only fatal in and of itself; even the brave women who manage to survive endure a great deal of physical and mental suffering due to the course of treatment.
Breast cancer is not only fatal in and of itself; even the brave women who manage to survive endure a great deal of physical and mental suffering due to the course of treatment. During breast cancer procedures, the tumorized breast is frequently completely or partially removed. The altered anatomy of the survivor generally leaves them in a lot of agony.
According to WHO figures, 2.3 million women worldwide receive a breast cancer diagnosis each year, leading to a startling 6,85,000 fatalities.
Breast cancer caused 10.6% of all cancer-related deaths and 13.5% of all cancer cases in India. In the majority of cases of breast cancer, the cancerous breast required substantial surgical removal. Then, to eradicate the remaining cancer cells, chemotherapy and radiotherapy were administered.
Unfortunately, radiotherapy and surgery frequently cut off the blood supply to the survivors’ remaining chest-area skin and soft tissues. Over certain areas, terrible ulcers develop that do not heal even after numerous treatments. The courageous cancer survivors occasionally have to scurry from help to help, frequently without much success.
Tissue engineering, a novel cutting-edge therapy approach, is rapidly gaining popularity in biomedicine. Tissue engineering has swept the world by storm and piqued the interest of many top medical professionals and scientists due to its intersection with cutting edge engineering, medical science, and sophisticated biology.
