Question 1

is there a correlation between cervical dysplasia and breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: Cervical dysplasia is associated with the human papilloma virus (hpv).  As far as we know, breast cancer is not associated with hpv or other viruses.

Question 2

my chances of having both breast cancer and cervical cancer at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Low: While just about anything is possible, and while breast cancer & cervical cancer are not related to each other, it would be rare but not impossible to have 2 unrelated cancers at the same tome.

Question 3

is there any links between cervical cancer and breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cancer: And  breast cancer are related in that certain genetic defects make a person more susceptible to develop both.  No such correlation with cervical cancer.  Causes of malignancy are multifactorial, and we are just beginning to understand them.

Question 4

how high are the chances of having breast cancer and cervical cancer at the age of 24?

Accepted Answer

Very low: For most women, so low as to be nearly zero.  However, there are familial cancers that affect the breast and ovaries (rather than cervix/uterus), and in those families cancer can strike in the 20s.

Question 5

at what age should you be screened for breast cancer or cervical cancer if grandmother and aunt had each at early age in 30s/40s? brca testing?;

Accepted Answer

Screening: The pap smear is the standard screening test for cercival dysplasia/cancer.  You should have routine pap smears starting when you first became sexually active. Mammograms are effective screening tools especially as women age, they are not effective for younger women with dense breasts.  Speak with a genetic councilor about brca testing.  Sounds to me like you should be tested.

Question 6

how common is it for breast cancer to spread to anterior cervical neck lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Not very common: Lymphatic drainage is predominantly  towards axilla but could spread towards neck usually in late stages.

Question 7

does getting your first period at an age lower than 13 actually increase your risk of ovarian/cervical/breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Minimal effect: Statistically speaking it may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer and Ovarian cancer. But in an individual person it makes no big difference , so I would not worry about it as there is a long life to make amends and live by a healthy lifestyle and overcome any such risks. If you eat healthy and exercise daily, the risk of cancer goes down considerably!

Question 8

is there any proved research that taking hormonal-based contraceptive could cause or trigger breast cancer or cervix cancer as well as fallopian cyst?

Accepted Answer

No: hormonal activity can only act as a stimulus for an already existing cancer.  Gasoline can stimulate a fire, it doesn't cause it.  Breast and Cervix cancer have already been shown to be associated with certain viruses which induce the malignant transformation

Question 9

would metastatic cervical cancer in the breast appear the same as breast cancer on mammogram and ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Possibly on imaging: Cervical cancer (the tissue at the end of the vaginal canal) rarely metastasizes to the breast. Rather breast cancer may metastasize to many areas of body, such as bone, lung, brain, lymph nodes. That being said, any abnormal growth in the breast, though mostly breast tissue, could look similarly by mammogram or ultrasound. The bottom line is if there is an abnormality, must be biopsied.

Question 10

under my nipple my breast is sore to the touch and i mean hard to wear bra or anything. i have had a hyst. in 2008 so i know it could it be a sign of cancer my aunt had breast cancer and my mom cervical cancer

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. First off, i want to let you know that i cannot tell you the reason for your nipple soreness.  A common reason for nipple pain is skin abrasion from friction. This can be due to a bra that doesnâ€™t fit well or physical activity with a bra that is not adequately supportive or physical activity (like bouncing) without a bra. It doesn't really sound like this, since you were specific that the pain is deep to the nipple  if this were the cause it should clear up within a couple of days. Other causes can be an abscess, infection of the duct, inflammation of the duct or possibly cancer. If you have redness, heat, swelling, a lump, bloody nipple discharge, fever or chills or the skin is cracking, then you should contact your doctor now.   Take care.
