Cases, Treatment, and Detection of IBC Many women around the world often know nothing about IBC or Inflammatory breast cancer. This is a very rare form of breast cancer amongst women and men. It accounts for only 3% of all cancer diagnosis in women and a mere .8% of all dianosis in men. Yes, it is a very rare form of cancer but if you are diagnosed with IBC doctors often give all women only five more years to live at most. The rate of speed that this cancer can travel throughout your body is a horrible thing. To make it even worse, this cancer often comes back within two years of being ridden of the body. Women in almost all cases of having IBC will lose either one or both of their breasts along with lyphnodes. This is a precaution to help limit the chances of having recurrance that same year or so. Recurrance rate of this cancer happens in almost all cases of this specific cancer as it disguises itself as tissue and hides behind the chest wall. It also disguises itself when the breast is present. IBC presents itself as redness or swelling of the chest in the form of a bug bite or infection. This often leads woman to wait before going to the doctor and by then the cancer has already spread. Doctors have used many new treatments for this rare case of cancer. Some of the strongest forms of chemo therapy are used along with radiation and often amputation of the breast. IBC can spread throughout your body within four weeks of being present. This automatically makes your prognosis sound very grim and does not help the patient's attitude. "When fighting cancer, ATTITUDE is your only cure" says Award winning oncologist James Sabiers out of Dayton, OH. Doctors have to use the strongest chemo that they can to kill IBC before it spreads. Many patients of IBC have said they almost kill you when trying to kill the cancer. Radiation takes place after chemo therapy is over and when the breast has usually been removed. It is quite a fact of irony that doctors are using radiation to kill cancer. But many Doctors say it ensures the confirmed clearness of this type of cancer.
