“…2,12,29 A review of 190 symptomatic PMs by Komninos et al showed that in 83 (43.7%) cases the primary tumor was latent when the PM was discovered. 16 This figure might be influenced by the multiple reports describing rare presentations.…”

A lthough malignant tumors metastasizing into the pituitary fossa are not infrequent events in autopsy series, 6,10,17,18 pituitary metastasis (PM) is rarely diagnosed ante mortem. 3,14,18 According to the Brain Tumor Registry of Japan, only 0.4% of intracranial metastatic tumors are located in the pituitary gland. 5 These tumors account for only 1% of surgically treated pituitary tumors. 8,16,31 Recently, as the number of patients diagnosed with cancer has increased and their survival time has been extended, PMs have been diagnosed more frequently than before. 16,20,24 Many authors have reported their own experiences or their institutional series on PMs. 3,11,13,14,20,26,31 There are also reviews involving large numbers of reported cas- results Between 1995 and 2010, 201 patients with PMs were treated by the participating physicians. The diagnosis of PM was histologically verified in 69 patients (34.3%). In the other 132 patients (65.7%), the PM was diagnosed by their physicians based on neuroimaging findings and clinical courses. The most frequent primary tumor was lung (36.8%), followed by breast (22.9%) and kidney (7.0%) cancer. The average interval between diagnosis of primary cancer and detection of PM was 2.8 ± 3.9 (SD) years. Major symptoms at diagnosis were visual disturbance in 30.3%, diabetes insipidus in 27.4%, fatigue in 25.4%, headache in 20.4%, and double vision in 17.4%. Major neuroimaging features were mass lesion in the pituitary stalk (63.3%), constriction of tumor at the diaphragmatic hiatus (44.7%), hypothalamic mass lesion (17.4%), and hyperintensity in the optic tract (11.4%). Surgical treatment was performed in 26.9% of patients, and 74.6% had radiation therapy; 80.0% of patients who underwent radiotherapy had stereotactic radiotherapy. The median survival time was 12.9 months in total. Contributing factors for good prognosis calculated by Cox proportional hazard analysis were younger age, late metastasis to the pituitary gland, smaller PM size, and radiation therapy. The Kaplan-Meier survival was significantly better in patients with breast cancer and renal cell cancer than in those with lung cancer. coNclusioNs At the time of this writing, approximately 60% (120/201) of PMs had been treated by stereotactic radiation therapy in Japan. The median survival time was much longer than that reported in past series. To confirm the changes of clinical features and medical practice, a prospective and population-based survey is mandatory.

“…The incidence rate of this disease vary around the world. For example, the age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 are: North America 126 (Toriola and Colditz, 2013); Taiwan 81.36 ; Singapur 54.9, Malaysia 39.3 (Sulaiman et al, 2011); Poland 44.5 (Bruzewicz, 2008); Russia 43.2, Japan 42.7, China 21.6, Mongolia 8.0 (Troisi et al, 2012); Saudi Arabia 11.4 (Amin et al, 2014). According to the analysis of trends in the breast cancer incidence and mortality in USA, carried out by Toriola and Colditz (2013) over the past 70 years, the stable incidence rates are monitored after 2003 (126 per 100,000).…”

Breast cancer primary prevention is a high research priority due to the high psychological and economic costs. The disease is a multistep process and several risk factors have been recognized. Over the past three decades numerous studies have investigated the association of lifestyle with breast cancer, showing independent effects of various factors. We report here a summary of the present state of knowledge on the role of lifestyle patterns, such as physical activity, diet, smoking, hormone therapy, and experience of psychological stress in the modulation of breast cancer in women, and discuss commonly accepted biological mechanisms hypothesized as responsible for the associations. The findings indicate that regular physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity is probably linked with the decreased breast cancer risk among postmenopausal females and suggestive for a decrease of the risk in premenopausal women. In contrast, the consumption of high-fat diet, alcohol intake, and use of combined estrogen and synthetic progestagen hormonal therapy may increase the risk. Epidemiological findings dealing with a role of smoking and experience of psychological stress are conflicting.

“…BC occurs mainly in women (WHO, 2013) one out of every 10 cases is BC (Varughese et al, 2015). The age standardized incidence rate of the disease is as follows: North America, 126 (Toriola et al, 2013), Turkey 35.8 (Kayhan et al, 2014) and Russia 43.2 (Troisi et al, 2012) per 100, 000 people. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death among women (Yilmaz and Arslan, 2015).…”

Background: Breast cancer usually shows a slow development rate and when it is recognized in early stages very successful treatment results can be achieved. This research was planned to research the health beliefs of nursing faculty students about breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE). Materials and Methods: The first class students of nursing faculty formed the basis for this descriptive research (N=347). Sample selection was not made and all female students who wanted to participate voluntarily in the research during March-May of 2014 were included (n=331). Results: It was determined that 85.5% of students had knowledge about cancer, 79.5 % knew of breast cancer, and 65.3% were aware of how BSE is performed. According to the responses of students to the scale of the health belief model that is used to determine the health beliefs of students, item-point averages of trust and obstacle sub-dimensions were high. Conclusions: It is determined that more than half of students had knowledge about breast cancer and breast self-examination. Their health beliefs were affected by trust and obstacle perceptions, knowledge level about cancer, and awareness about how BSE is done. These factors should be considered in planning trainings that will be given to students. Social responsibility projects should have designed to create the awareness that cancer is a treatable disease.
