  • Antiperspirants and Breast Cancer Risk
    cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Antiperspirants and Breast Cancer Risk For some time, an email rumor suggested that underarm antiperspirants cause breast cancer1. Among its claims: ● Cancer-causing substances in antiperspirants are absorbed through razor nicks from underarm shaving. These substances are said to be deposited in the lymph nodes under the arm, which are not able to get rid of them by sweating because the antiperspirant keeps you from perspiring. This causes a high concentration of toxins, which leads to cells mutating into cancer. ● Most breast cancers develop in the upper outer quadrant of the breast because that area is closest to the lymph nodes exposed to antiperspirants. (Think of the breast as a circle divided by vertical and horizontal lines that cross at the nipple. Each of the 4 sectors you divide the breast into is called a quadrant. The upper outer quadrant of each breast is the part closest to the arm pit.) ● Men have a lower risk of breast cancer because they do not shave their underarms, and their underarm hair keeps chemicals in antiperspirants from being absorbed. All of these claims are largely untrue. Do antiperspirants increase a person's risk of breast cancer? There are no strong epidemiologic studies in the medical literature that link breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, and very little scientific evidence to support this claim. In fact, a carefully designed epidemiologic study of this issue published in 2002 compared 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women without the disease. The researchers found no link between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, deodorant 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 use, or underarm shaving.

  • After Lumpectomy
    Breast Center After Lumpectomy A lumpectomy, also called a partial mastectomy and breast conservation surgery, removes the breast tumor and a rim of healthy tissue through an incision in the breast. A separate incision in the armpit, or axilla, will be made to sample lymph nodes if a sentinel lymph node biopsy is required. The incisions will be closed with dissolving stitches under the skin and either strips of tape or surgical glue on the skin. A dressing will be applied and a surgical bra will be put on. In the recovery room you will be monitored and assessed for pain. Pain medication will be given so that pain is well controlled when you go home. You will go home with a prescription for a narcotic pain medicine. Pain Expect some degree of pain. Pain medication takes about 30 minutes to act and will be more effective if taken when you are experiencing less pain than if you wait until the pain is not tolerable. If you do not wish to take narcotic pain medication, you may take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Please do not drive until you are no longer taking narcotic pain medicine. Incisions You may remove the top dressing on the first or second post-operative day. Leave the strips of tape or glue in place until they fall off or are removed by the doctor. If the edges of the tapes loosen, you may trim the edges with scissors. Place a gauze pad over the incisions if you have drainage or clothing is irritating. Wear a supportive, non-underwire bra for a few days and nights or until you are comfortable without it.

  • Medication Guide TESTOSTERONE
    Medication Guide TESTOSTERONE (tes-TOS-te-rone) CIII topical solution, for topical use What is the most important information I should know about Testosterone Topical Solution? Testosterone Topical Solution can transfer from your body to others. This can happen if other people come into contact with the area where the Testosterone Topical Solution was applied. Signs of puberty that are not expected (for example, pubic hair) have happened in young children who were accidentally exposed to testosterone through skin to skin contact with men using topical testosterone products like Testosterone Topical Solution. • Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed area where Testosterone Topical Solution has been applied. If a woman or child makes contact with the application area, the contact area on the woman or child should be washed well with soap and water right away. • To lower the risk of transfer of Testosterone Topical Solution from your body to others, you should follow these important instructions: • Apply Testosterone Topical Solution only to your armpits. • Wash your hands right away with soap and water after applying Testosterone Topical Solution. • After the solution has dried, cover the application area with clothing. Keep the area covered until you have washed the application area well or have showered. • If you expect another person to have direct skin-to-skin contact with your armpits, first wash the application area well with soap and water.
