Studies From Western Countries Suggest That, for Breast Cancer Survivors to Live Long and Lead Healthy Lives, it is important to focus on the Treatment and Follow-Up of Breast Cancer Itself But Also On Their Overall Health. Snowheless, The Risk of Development Various Diseases Among Breast Cancer Survivors in Asian Population, Including the Japanese, Has Not Been Thoroughly Investigated.
In a New Study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Western PacificResearchers Analyzed Medical Claims Data (Anonymous Information) Collected by JMDC, Inc. from Health Insurance Societies for Employeee Insurance Nationwide.
They clarified the extntent to which the risk of developing 12 representative dissees other Than cancer (Myocardial infarction, Heart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter, Ischemic Stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, Major Osteoporotic Fractures Fractures, gastrointestinal bleeding, infectious pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and anxiethy/depression) incredased.
