New Jersey-based oncologist and hematologist Kenneth D. Nahum, MD, treats patients with blood disorders and cancers at Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA). With more than 30 years of medical and clinical research experience, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum has treated many instances of breast cancer.
A recent study published in the journal of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), revealed a link between breast cancer and vasomotor symptoms (VMS). Researchers looked at more than 25,000 women over the course of nearly 18 years.
In this period, 1,399 cases of new breast cancer were diagnosed among participants. Many of the women with breast cancer had experienced persistent VMS symptoms, such as night sweats and hot flashes, that lasted for at least 10 years. Breast cancer rates were lower among women who had not experienced persistent VMS.
Researchers also looked at the survival rates of women with and without persistent VMS after they were diagnosed with breast cancer. While a small difference was seen, it was not statistically significant, which suggests that persistent VMS did not affect survival rates of women with breast cancer.
