Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in women, he takes the ultimate place. In most cases, breast cancers develops in the presence of precancerous changes. This is primarily a benign mammary dysplasia and papilloma ducts.

Breast cancer is represented macroscopically nodular and diffuse forms, as well as cancer in the nipple as well as the nipple with the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as an the node creating a diameter of up to several centimeters. In certain cases, a good knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in the surrounding dimply skin, in other people - a soft, juicy on the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate type of cancer is roofed to get a considerable distance, the contours with the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades your skin layer and forms around the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some cases, the tumor spreads across the surface from the breast and many types of the iron is roofed using a dense shell.

In histological structure are the following kinds of breast cancers:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

Noninvasive breast cancer may be intralobular (lobular carcinoma in situ), and intraduct (ductal carcinoma in situ).

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as a varying levels of tissue and cell irregularities, which permitted to distinguish different level of malignancy. This type of cancer include, specifically, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which will gets the structure of scirrhus, in addition to Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons behind breast cancers often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, if you have an energetic restructuring of the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased production of progesterone and estrogen, one's body goes through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining from the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast growth starts to dissolve and stay replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays an integral role in the growth and development of cancer of the breast. The excess hormones in the body creates a favorable background for developing the disease. The least active hormones estrogen behave when pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that this birth and prolonged breastfeeding (over 12 months) to relieve the risk of developing cancer of the breast. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" in a very woman's body that can trigger the continuing development of tumors. So far there isn't any consensus regarding the impact on the progression of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, yet it's thought that these drugs reduce potential risk of developing breast cancer, but increase the risk of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancer might cause harmful environmental factors: the environment, as well as inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients with a group of first-degree relatives with cancer of the breast (mothers and sisters) risk of making a tumor increasing by more than half - familial kinds of cancer.

Benign breast diseases like fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone don't lead to cancer, but at the same time, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The cause of breast cancer may be the connection between radiation, for example irradiation from the chest for other diseases (lung tumors, the lymphatic system), prolonged and frequent chest X-ray studies on inflammatory diseases or pulmonary tuberculosis.

Constitutional obesity can result in cancer from the breast and female the reproductive system, by having an excess fatty tissue inside the body, it becomes a different endocrine organ and begins to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are many forms of the growth of breast cancers:

- Nodular form, the most frequent, is seen as a dense knot of 0.5 to 5 cm or even more, it really is seen as a all of the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor with no clear boundaries, "spreading" from the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic signs of inflammation: pain of the breast, a bright red color in the skin it raises body's temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of those symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosing patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and therefore are described these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma breast cancers cover being a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in space.

In some cases, cancer of the breast manifests inside the form of metastases in the lymph nodes around the affected side, often ceases to detect the tumor itself - show hidden cancer of the breast.

For small tumors in the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant females and their husbands have the ability to detect tumor site within the gland accidentally, but in the large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot may be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks and only a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a tight knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it's stationary or slightly shifted, might be firmly fixed on the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach an important size (a lot more than 3 to 5 cm and often 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface from the skin on the tumor: the malignant process is going to be observed retraction from the skin, collecting within the folds, wrinkles, a signal of "lemon peel" - a neighborhood swelling in the skin in the tumor, might be a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it might be a bright beautiful red colors and sprawl as "cauliflower."
