Why is breast cancer afraid of falling

Fear of falling generally refers to fear of external impact or injury. Because breast cancer cells are very fragile, once they are hit or damaged by external impact, it may stimulate the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. Therefore, breast cancer patients are afraid of falling and need to avoid external impact or injury.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the mammary epithelium or ductal epithelium and is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. The incidence of breast cancer is related to many factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Breast cancer patients may suffer fractures when they are hit by external forces or fall, especially when cancer cells are transferred to bones through the blood system to form bone metastases. Mild pathological fractures may cause corresponding pain and affect the treatment of tumors. In severe cases, bones may compress the corresponding nerves, such as involvement of vertebral nerves, causing paraplegia or sensory and motor dysfunction in the areas innervated by the affected nerves, further affecting anti-tumor treatment and the patient's quality of life and survival.

Breast cancer patients need to pay special attention to protecting their bodies during medical treatment and avoid falls and other accidental injuries. Patients are advised to undergo appropriate rehabilitation training with the help of doctors, enhance body balance and stability, maintain a positive attitude and a good emotional state, establish good living habits and actively cooperate with treatment to alleviate the condition and improve the quality of life.
