Francis Elena Escalante Durán, MD



 
I am a Doctor, certified in Lifestyle Medicine, Psychoneuroendocrinology and Health Coach. I was born in Venezuela, where I lived until recently and now I am based in Spain.
I am also a senologist and sonographer, I have 28 years of professional experience. During my practice I have learned many things by being in direct contact with patients and being able to listen to them actively has been of great value in understanding their needs and realizing how important lifestyle, emotions and the mind are in the development of diseases.

The fast-paced world can lead to many health problems, which can be solved with certain changes in habits. We should not assume stress, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and insomnia as something normal My aim is to help other people to self-manage their health condition.

ABSTRACT

Exploring the Link Between Lifestyle and Breast Cancer

Francis Elena Escalante Durán, MD, Certified lifestyle medicine Mastologist (Spain)

Breast cancer it is primarily sporadic, with hereditary cancer accounting for only 10%. There are lifestyle and environmental risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer and provide a perspective for primary prevention. Evidence has shown the interaction between lifestyle, environmental conditions, and genetic and epigenetic factors. A healthy lifestyle reduces the risk of breast cancer, while an unfavourable lifestyle can alter biological pathways, accelerate tumour growth, lower the age of onset for sporadic breast cancer, and shorten life expectancy for breast cancer patients. Interventions related to lifestyle and the implementation of programs to reduce cancer mortality are relevant.
