AG secretion increased inspiratory amplitude in the infants more than all stimuli, but human milk. Thus, AG cues appear to carry the same general behavioural impact as milk, indicated by the intensification of respiration, but they have distinctively higher appetitive impact than milk and sebum, as attested by oro-facial responses. Interestingly, the mode of feeding, and hence the rate of previous exposure to breast-related stimuli, did not affect the infant responses to the odour of AG secretion. 

A stmcturally related series of phenyfiiydrazones resulted ia the selection of compound A-007 [2675-35-6] (DEKK-TEC)(37) for the treatment of hormone-dependent tumors. A-007 is an antiestrogen that, ia contrast to tamoxifen, demonstrated inhibitory activity both ia the presence and absence of estradiol ia ZR-75-1 estrogen-dependent human breast cancer cells, and afforded more protection than tamoxifen ia the 7,12-dimethylbenz[i7]anthracene... 

Vitamin D metaboUtes may therefore play an active role ia diseases related to these functions, ie, leukemia, cancer (breast, colon, prostate), and autoimmune diseases (AIDS, immune encephaUtis, and diabetes) (51, 141,193—197, 202, 203). 

Prostate Cancer. Evidence that phytoestrogens can influence the incidence of male-speciflc diseases is restricted to prostate cancer, and is largely of an observational nature. In the UK, prostate cancer is the most common hormone-related cancer in men. However, like breast cancer in women, it is comparatively rare as a clinically evident disease in men living in Asian countries.

Hyperkalemia (increase in potassium in the blood), a serious event, may be seen with the administration of potassium-sparing diuretics. Hyperkalemia is most likely to occur in patients with an inadequate fluid intake and urine output, those with diabetes or renal disease tiie elderly, and those who are severely ill. In patients taking spironolactone, gynecomastia (breast enlargement in tiie male) may occur. This reaction appears to be related to both dosage and duration of therapy. The gynecomastia is usually reversible when therapy is discontinued, but in rare instances, some breast enlargement may remain. 

Taking the contraceptive hormones provides health benefits not related to contraception, such as regulating the menstrual cycle and decreased blood loss, and incidence of iron deficiency anemia, and dysmenorrhea Health benefits related to the inhibition of ovulation include a decrease in ovarian cysts and ectopic pregnancies. hi addition, there is a decrease in fibrocyctic breast disease, acute pelvic inflammatory disease endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, maintenance of bone density, and symptoms related to endometriosis in women taking contraceptive hormones. Newer combination contraceptives such as norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol...

Scitovsky et al. (1986) calculated the average cost per AIDS-related hospital admission as US 9,024 ranging from US 7,026 to US 23,425. A more comprehensive picture is presented by Scitovsky and Rice (1987), who estimated provider cost of the AIDS epidemic in the United States in 1985, 1986, and 1991, based on prevalence estimates provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). They predicted that the core provider costs of AIDS would rise from US 630 million in 1985 to US 1.1 billion in 1986 and to US 8.5 billion in 1991. The authors compared their estimates of the cost of AIDS in the USA with the estimates for end-stage renal disease (US 2.2 billion), traffic accidents (US 5.6 billion), lung cancer (US 2.7 billion), and breast cancer (US 2.2 billion). They concluded that the core provider costs of AIDS were relatively low in comparison with the provider costs of all illness as well as the costs of these other diseases. However, they also assessed the non-care costs (e.g., for research) to rise from US 319 million in 1985 to US 542 million in 1986 and to US 2.3 billion in 1991. 

In a case-control study of the relation between occupational exposures to various suspected estrogenic chemicals and the occurrence of breast cancer, the breast cancer odds ratio (OR) was not elevated above unity (OR=0.8 95% 01=0.2-3.2) for occupational exposure to endosulfan compared to unexposed controls (Aschengrau et al. 1998) however, the sample sizes were very small (three exposed seven not exposed), and co-exposure to other unreported chemicals also reportedly occurred. Both of these factors may have contributed to the high degree of uncertainty in the OR indicated by the wide confidence interval. 

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer affecting women and, in Western countries, the incidence is rising. The risk of breast cancer increases markedly with age, although a decrease in the rate occurs after the menopause, suggesting that development is hormone-dependent. To date, a number of hormone-related risk factors have been identified (Bingham et al, 1998). Countries such as Japan have relatively low rates of breast cancer, which have been associated with consumption of a diet high in soy foods. Currently, however, the data from epidemiological studies is inconclusive.

Assess patients for signs and symptoms related to breast cancer in early and late stages of the disease. 

A number of endocrine factors have been linked to the incidence of breast cancer.5,6 Many of these relate to the total duration of menstrual life. Early menarche (prior to age 12) and late menopause (after age 55) increase a women s breast cancer risk. Similarly, investigators have reported that bilateral oophorectomy prior to age 35 reduces the relative risk of developing breast cancer. Nulliparity and a late age at first birth (greater than or equal to 30 years) have been reported to increase the lifetime risk of developing breast cancer twofold. 

Based on the information presented, create a care plan for this patient s breast cancer. Your plan should include (1) a statement of the drug-related and non-drug-related needs and/or problems, (2) the goals of therapy, (3) a patient-specific detailed therapeutic plan (including options for local control), and (4) a plan for follow-up to determine whether the goals have been achieved and adverse effects managed adequately.
