Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers among women, yet it is often shrouded in myths and misconceptions that can deter individuals from seeking timely care. In an era dominated by digital information, misinformation about breast cancer spreads rapidly through social media, blogs, and casual conversations, often perpetuating unfounded fears and misunderstandings. Dr. Lyronne Olivier, a consultant breast surgeon and associate lecturer at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, has addressed and debunked several common myths to empower individuals with accurate knowledge and encourage proactive healthcare decisions. One prevalent myth is that breast cancer is solely hereditary. In reality, only 10% of cases are linked to genetic factors, while 90% are sporadic, influenced by environmental and other non-hereditary elements. Another misconception is that breast cancer always presents with pain. However, many cases involve painless lumps, emphasizing the need for clinical evaluation regardless of symptoms. Concerns about mammogram radiation are also unfounded, as the exposure is minimal and significantly outweighed by the benefits of early detection. Additionally, not all breast lumps are cancerous, and lifestyle choices, while beneficial, do not guarantee immunity. Men, though rarely, can also develop breast cancer, and treatment options extend beyond mastectomy, with oncoplastic surgery offering breast preservation. Breast cancer is not a singular disease but comprises various subtypes, each requiring tailored treatment. Mammograms are safe for individuals with breast implants, and products like antiperspirants and underwire bras are not linked to cancer. Finally, eliminating sugar from the diet does not selectively starve cancer cells. Public education and awareness are crucial in combating these myths, fostering early diagnosis, and improving survival rates. Dr. Olivier urges individuals to consult a breast surgeon for any concerns, as early detection remains the cornerstone of effective treatment.
