Breast cancer susceptibility and Homeopathy

Breast cancers commonly occur in women after 35 years of age. But 8-10% of the cases also occur in younger women who are less than 35 years of age. Under this situation, prevention becomes an important concern. Majority of the breast cancers are estrogen hormone sensitive. About 10% of breast cancers are due to defect in genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 which are inherited  from mother to daughter. These cases are more chemotherapy-sensitive while the hormone-sensitive cases are more chemotherapy-resistant. Homeopathic constitutions which are prone to develop breast cancer in women include Pulsatilla, Natrum mur, Sepia and Calcarea carb. Homeopathy medicines help and work in holistic ways to treat breast cancers, including  hormone-sensitive cases.
