Breast Cancer Week is being held in Russia from October 14 to 20, 2024 (in honor of Breast Cancer Month). Breast cancer (breast cancer) is one of the most common oncological diseases not only in Russia, but also around the world. Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in breast tissues begin to divide uncontrollably and form a tumor. The earliest form (the so–called "cancer in situ") is not life-threatening. But tumor cells can spread to adjacent breast tissues (invasion). As the tumor continues to grow, a bulky formation or thickening occurs. Invasive cancer can spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs (metastasize). Metastasis can be fatal. Certain forms of breast tumors (and there are more than 30 types) can occur in half of the female population (i.e., every second woman over 30 years old). Fortunately, the vast majority are benign and do not threaten health. Breast cancer prevention should be mandatory for all women. These are maintaining a healthy lifestyle, proper and balanced nutrition, prevention of stress and conflict situations, giving up bad habits, observing the daily routine, preventive examinations and medical examinations. Take care of yourself and your loved ones! Be healthy!

Activities that affect mental health go far beyond healthcare. There are simple ways to influence the state of your physical and mental health: give up bad habits; eat right; observe the water balance; develop positive thinking. Mental stress should be accompanied by physical stress. Regular muscle work helps to normalize the balance of excitation and inhibition processes in the nervous system. The most universal way to protect the psyche is regular physical education and relaxation, walking and creativity, reading and dancing. Stay healthy, keep an eye on your mental health!

Special attention should be paid to the prevention of osteoporosis, decreased sensory functions (hearing, vision), cognitive impairment, decreased muscle mass, falls of the elderly and domestic injuries. Achieving the goals of longevity is possible if three main tasks are solved: • health in old age; • a decent life in old age; • Active participation of older citizens in the life of society.
