How frequent diseases could you prevent by removing JUST ONE mammary gland of infant girls?
Would the chance breast cancer be reduced?
Answers:
1] removing ALL of the mammary glands would only remove 97% of breast tissue.
2] I have a double mastectomy, and still got recurrence - metastatic breast disease to bones, lungs, liver, kidneys, adrenals
3] should we remove one lung [ # one cause cancer death in USA ] colons [ # 2 ], and testicles too?? Source(s): RN
Why don't we stamp out the chance of testicular cancer by castrating males at birth?
In medicine, we try not to harm clean tissue to prevent disease. How many women who will NEVER get breast cancer do you propose to mutilate in establish to prevent cancer in those that will get it?
Seriously, dude. Rethink that one.
If you mean removing all of the tissue of one breast to stop breast cancer - I guess you could abstractly halve the incidence of breast cancer.
However, you might end up creating more problems than you intended to solve - e.g. self image, ethical dilemmas next to forces mutilation etc, other psychological problems. And then if the other breast gets a cancer and has to be removed, next you don't have a back up for breast feeding etc.
none, you'd have to remove all of the breast tissue and no doctor is going to do that beside out good reason
