U-Okthoba uyiNyanga Yokuqwashisa Ngomdlavuza Webele, futhi nakuba sithanda ukubona imikhiqizo eminingi ebomvana iqhamuka ukuze isize ukukhumbuza abesifazane ngokubaluleka kokutholwa kusenesikhathi, kulula ukukhohlwa ukuthi akubona abesifazane kuphela abangaba nomthelela womdlavuza webele—abesilisa bangakwazi, futhi wenze, uthole isifo.

Engxoxweni entsha noI-Good Morning America, ubaba kaBeyoncé noSolange Knowles, uMathew Knowles, udalule impi yakhe nomdlavuza webele.

Uvule isifuba ngokuhlinzwa ukuze kususwe umdlavuza webele wesigaba IA, nokuthi wazi kanjani ukuthi udinga ukubona udokotela zisuka.

U-Knowles wabelane ngokuthi ehlobo, wabona "ichashaza elincane legazi" emahembeni akhe, futhi umkakhe wathi ubone amachashaza egazi afanayo eshidini labo. "Ngokushesha" waya kudokotela wakhe ukuze athole i-mammogram, i-ultrasound, ne-biopsy, etshela I-GMA umsakazi uMichael Strahan: "Kwakucace bha ukuthi nginomdlavuza webele."

Ngemuva kokuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa kwakhe, uKnowles wahlinzwa ngoJulayi. Ngaleso sikhathi, wabuye wafunda ngokuhlolwa kofuzo ukuthi unokuguqulwa kofuzo kwe-BRCA2, okumbeka engcupheni enkulu yokuthuthukisa—ngaphezu komdlavuza webele—umdlavuza wendlala yesinye, umdlavuza we-pancreatic, kanye ne-melanoma, uhlobo oluyingozi kakhulu lomdlavuza wesikhumba.

Ngenhlanhla, lo mlisa oneminyaka engu-67 ubelulama ngempumelelo ekuhlinzweni kwakhe, ezibiza "ngomuntu osinde kumdlavuza webele." Kodwa ukuba nokuguquka kwezakhi ze-BRCA2 kusho ukuthi uzodinga ukuhlala "azi kakhulu futhi azi" ngengozi yakhe yokuthola eminye imidlavuza, uchaze I-GMA. Lokhu kungasho ukuthi uvivinywa njalo ama-prostate, ama-mammograms, ama-MRIs, nokuhlolwa kwesikhumba impilo yakhe yonke.

Ngemuva kokululama kwakhe, kusho u-Knowles I-GMA ukuthi manje usegxile ekugcineni umndeni wakhe uqaphile ngezingozi zomdlavuza, kanye nokulwa nenhlamba amadoda amaningi abhekana nayo uma kukhulunywa ngokuthuthukisa umdlavuza webele.

Utshele uStrahan ukuthi "ucingo lokuqala" alushilo ngemuva kokuthola ukuxilongwa kwakhe lungemndeni wakhe, ngoba bekungekhona ukuthi izingane zakhe ezine kungenzeka ukuthi zithwele uguquko lwe-BRCA, kepha nabazukulu bakhe abane.

Ikakhulukazi kunikezwe umbono ophusile ovamile wokuthi umdlavuza webele — nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba nokuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo kwe-BRCA — kuyinto ethinta abesifazane kuphela, u-Knowles unethemba lokuthi abesilisa (kanye nabesilisa abamnyama ikakhulukazi) bayayizwa indaba yakhe, bafunde ukuhlala phezulu kwabo impilo, futhi bazijwayelanise nezimpawu eziyisixwayiso.

Ku-akhawunti yomuntu wokuqala ohambisana nengxoxo yakhe, uKnowles wabhala ukuthi kwakusemsebenzini wakhe kuma-80s nobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha lapho aqala khona ukufunda ngomdlavuza webele. Kodwa kwakuwumlando womndeni wakhe owasiza ekuhlabeni izinsimbi empilweni yakhe, echaza. (Related: Izinto Eziyisi-6 Ongazi Ngomdlavuza Webele)

“Udadewabo kamama wabulawa umdlavuza webele, amadodakazi kadadewethu amabili okuwukuphela kwawo abulawa umdlavuza webele, kanti udadewabo washona ngoMashi ngenxa yomdlavuza webele enezingane ezintathu,” ebhala, wengeza ngokuthi unina womkakhe ulwa nomdlavuza. isifo, futhi.

Kuvame kangakanani ukuthi amadoda abe nomdlavuza webele?

Amadoda angenawo umlando oqinile womndeni kungenzeka angazi ukuthi angaba sengozini yokuthola umdlavuza webele. Nakuba abesifazane e-US benethuba elingu-1 kwayi-8 lokuba nomdlavuza webele ekuphileni kwabo, lesi sifo singavamile kakhulu emadodeni. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi angaba ngu-2 670 amacala amasha omdlavuza webele ongahlaseli ozotholakala emadodeni ngonyaka ka-2019, nabesilisa abangaba ngu-500 ababulawa yilesi sifo, ngokusho kwe-American Cancer Society.

Noma ukuxilongwa komdlavuza webele kucishe kuphindwe kayi-100 phakathi kwamadoda amhlophe kunabesifazane abamhlophe, futhi kucishe kuphindwe izikhathi ezingama-70 phakathi kwamadoda amnyama kunabesifazane abamnyama, abantu abamnyama konke ubulili buvame ukuba nezinga lokusinda jikelele uma liqhathaniswa nezinye izinhlanga, ngokusho kocwaningo olushicilelwe ku- Ijenali Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yomdlavuza Webele. Ababhali bokutadisha bakholelwa ukuthi lokhu kubangelwa kakhulu ukungabi bikho kokuthola usizo lwezempilo oluhle emphakathini wase-Afrika-waseMelika, kanye namazinga aphezulu eziguli ezigulini ezimnyama zezinto ezinjengosayizi omkhulu wesimila kanye nebanga eliphezulu lesimila.

Ngokuya emphakathini ngokuxilongwa kwakhe, uKnowles uthi unethemba lokusabalalisa ulwazi ngezingozi zomdlavuza webele abantu abamnyama abangabhekana nazo. “Ngifuna umphakathi omnyama wazi ukuthi singabokuqala ukufa, lokho yingoba asiyi kwadokotela, asikutholi ukubonwa futhi asihambisani nobuchwepheshe nokuthi yini imboni kanye nayo. umphakathi uyayenza,” ebhala kanjalo I-GMA.

Kusho ukuthini ukuba nokuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo kwe-BRCA?

Odabeni luka-Knowles, ukuhlolwa kwegazi kofuzo kwaqinisekisa ukuthi ube nokuguquguquka kofuzo lwakhe lwe-BRCA2, okungenzeka kube nomthelela ekuxilongweni kwakhe umdlavuza webele. Kodwa yini ngempela kukhona lezi zofuzo zomdlavuza webele? (Okuhlobene: Kungani Ngenze Ukuhlolwa Kofuzo Komdlavuza Webele)

I-BRCA1 ne-BRCA2 yizakhi zofuzo ezingabantu "ezikhiqiza amaprotheni okucindezela isimila," ngokusho kweNational Cancer Institute. Ngamanye amazwi, lezi zakhi zofuzo ziqukethe amaprotheni asiza ekuqinisekiseni ukulungiswa kwanoma iyiphi i-DNA eyonakele emzimbeni. Kodwa uma kukhona uguquko kulezi zakhi zofuzo, kungenzeka ukulimala kwe-DNA hhayi lilungiswe kahle, ngaleyo ndlela libeke amaseli engcupheni yokuthola umdlavuza.

Kwabesifazane, lokhu kuvame ukuholela engozini eyengeziwe yomdlavuza webele kanye nomdlavuza we-ovarian-kodwa futhi, akubona abesifazane kuphela abasengozini. Ngenkathi amaphesenti angaphansi kwephesenti kuwo wonke umdlavuza webele enzeka emadodeni, cishe amaphesenti angama-32 wamadoda ane-BRCA mutation nawo anokuxilongwa komdlavuza (imdlavuza wendlala yesinye, umdlavuza wesinye, umdlavuza we-pancreatic, i-melanoma, kanye / noma eminye imidlavuza yesikhumba), ngokusho ucwaningo olushicilelwe kumagazini wezokwelapha Umdlavuza we-BMC.

Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukuhlolwa kofuzo nokutholwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi kubalulekile, yingakho nje uKnowles abelana ngendaba yakhe. "Ngidinga abesilisa abazokhuluma uma benomdlavuza webele," ubhalele kanjalo I-GMA. "Ngibadinga ukuthi bazise abantu ukuthi banesifo, ukuze sikwazi ukuthola izinombolo ezifanele nocwaningo olungcono. Okwenzeka emadodeni kungu-1 kwabayi-1 000 kuphela ngoba asinalo ucwaningo. Amadoda afuna ukusigcina sifihliwe ngoba sizizwa sinamahloni - futhi asikho isizathu salokho. "
