Ever wonder what the difference between city life and
country life is? In some cases it can be huge due in part to the following
factors:
·
Nutrition
·
Quality of the environment
·
Level of exercise
Considering these factors it would seem that living in the
country is far better than living elsewhere. Perhaps country living is a
wonderful option but there is something about rural living that may well prove
to be pretty bad for women. The fact is that a study conducted showed that
woman that live in rural areas and hail from rural areas are more likely to
have a lumpectomy than to be treated by way of radiation.
According to an article in healthimaginghub.com it was
stated that "These
study results are concerning. All women should receive guideline recommended
cancer care, regardless of where they live.” This is really a statement to the
fact that in some areas not all guidelines are followed as far as treating
certain complex conditions. After a diagnostic
imaging procedure shows there is some complex condition, there is a set of
rules to follow.
Yes, rules can be bent and in the proper interest broken, but not if
they harm the patient. With drivers against breast cancer being what they are,
there is no reason why this statistic should exist. It’s clear that there are
certain areas to explore in terms of breast cancer. While a lumpectomy avoids
immediate mastectomy, there is no guarantee that said procedure will avoid need
for further surgery.
Hopefully there will be futures studies conducted that reverse this
discovery. Breast cancer is still a leading killer of women throughout the
world, the more that’s know and explored on how to combat it properly, the
better off everyone is.
