Dr. Andrew Ordon Gives Back For Breast Cancer Month

Dr. Andrew Ordon, the plastic surgery expert on the reality info series, "The Doctors," is doing his part to make breast cancer survivors feel beautiful.

With his not-for-profit organization, Surgical Friends, founded with several colleagues to provide pro-bono reconstruction surgery domestically and abroad, Dr. Ordon's helping one five-year breast cancer survivor reclaim her beauty birthright.

"She's a registered nurse, but with the way things are with our economy right now, she hadn't been working and didn't have insurance," he shared with The Plus in an exclusive interview inside NYC's Trump International Hotel and Towers.

"We brought her to the office in Palm Springs, Calif., and did it for her."

The bilateral reconstruction, which involves inserting devices called "tissue expanders" which stretch skin over time, is followed by the reconstruction of the nipple.

Dr Ordon admits the process has brought tears to her eyes, and his own.

"She is so appreciative. She gets all choked up, and she makes me choke up every time I see her because she is so genuinely thankful," he shared.

"She went through the whole process of feeling like she lost a part of her, and that she would never be whole again. We were able to do that for her."

Cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may randomly occur through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome.

People used to look for external enemies. Here scientists find the cause of cancer, we will avoid it and everything will be fine. Fail. The incidence of cancer is directly dependent on age, approximately doubling every five years. That is, in 60 years, the risk of cancer in more than 10 times higher than in 40 years and more than 50 times higher than in 20 years. And this is regardless of the external "carcinogenic" factors, which, although they exist, but have disproportionately less weight than this, "spontaneous" disease associated with normal wear and tear and breakage of the body at the cellular level.
