A cancer diagnosis comes with an array of new health risks to consider, and one of them is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potentially life-threatening blood clot that blocks blood flow in the veins, typically in the legs. One in five cancer patients will develop DVT, according to the National Blood Clot Alliance. And research suggests that a number of varieties of cancer — including lung — make patients particularly

Trials show that per 1,000 patients taking anastrozole for five years, 35 cancer cases would be prevented compared
The risk of developing the disease increases with age, but Asian women are being diagnosed at a younger age compared to their Western counterparts. “The peak age of breast cancer is about 10 years younger in Asia. There is also a suggestion that there may be a difference in the tumour biology of women diagnosed with breast cancer in Asian nations as compared to Western nations. “This will have a
