INTRODUCTION: Housewives are a population at high risk of breast cancer due to repeated or chronic exposure to stress. Prevention in a simple yet evidence-based manner is needed. METHODS: This study is a narrative review of the potential of massage as breast cancer prevention through stress and immune system mechanisms. RESULTS: Massage is able to prevent chronic stress through improved sleep and fatigue and lower stress levels. Prevention of chronic stress will maximize the function of cells that eliminate cancer cells, such as B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, and improve the balance of Foxp3 Tregulator cells. Partnered delivery massage will bring effective benefits for stress reduction. CONCLUSIONS: Massage can provide indirect prevention of breast cancer, and partnered delivery massage can be a good choice to reduce stress.

Sensory bladder disorders encompass several distinct conditions with overlapping symptoms, which pose diagnostic challenges. This study aimed to evaluate urine biomarkers for differentiating between various sensory bladder disorders, including non-Hunner’s interstitial cystitis (NHIC), detrusor overactivity (DO), hypersensitive bladder (HSB), and urodynamically normal women. A retrospective analysis of 191 women who underwent a videourodynamic study (VUDS) was conducted, with some also receiving cystoscopic hydrodistention to confirm the presence of NHIC. Participants were categorized into four groups: DO (n = 51), HSB (n = 29), NHIC (n = 81), and normal controls (n = 30). The urine levels of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers were measured. The DO patients exhibited elevated IP-10 levels, while the HSB patients had decreased TAC and 8-OHdG levels. The NHIC patients showed lower IL-2 and higher TNF-α levels. A TNF-α ≥ 1.05 effectively identified NHIC, with an AUROC of 0.889, a sensitivity of 98.8%, and a specificity of 81.3%. An IP-10 ≥ 6.31 differentiated DO with an AUROC of 0.695, a sensitivity of 56.8%, and a specificity of 72.3%. An 8-OHdG ≤ 14.705 and a TAC ≤ 528.7 identified HSB with AUROCs of 0.754 and 0.844, respectively. The combination of 8-OHdG and TAC provided an AUROC of 0.853 for HSB. These findings suggest that TNF-α, IP-10, TAC, 8-OHdG, and IL-2 are promising non-invasive biomarkers for distinguishing between these conditions, which may improve diagnosis and management.
