Breast Cancer

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

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

In histological structure are the following varieties of breast cancers:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is characterized by varying degrees of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different degree of malignancy. This type of cancer include, particularly, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which in turn has the structure of scirrhus, in addition to Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons for breast cancers often are hormonal changes within the body: the entry into menopause, if you find a dynamic restructuring in the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, our bodies is going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most attentive to these changes, the breast tissue actually starts to dissolve and stay replaced by fat.

Scientifically established how the female hormones estrogen-, plays an important role in the continuing development of breast cancers. The excess hormones within the body produces a favorable background for developing the condition. The least active hormones estrogen behave while pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (greater than 12 months) to lessen the potential risk of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion lead to hormonal "explosion" in a very woman's body that may trigger the growth and development of tumors. So far there isn't any consensus about the impact about the continuing development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, however it is belief that these drugs reduce potential risk of developing breast cancer, but increase the potential risk of developing cancer in the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancers could cause harmful environmental factors: environmental surroundings, and also inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients with a group of first-degree relatives with breast cancers (mothers and sisters) probability of making a tumor increasing by over half - familial forms of cancer.

Benign breast diseases like fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone usually do not bring about cancer, but simultaneously, create an unfavorable background due to the development.

The cause of breast cancer will be the outcomes of radiation, including irradiation with 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 lead to cancer of the breast and female the reproductive system, with the excess dimply skin in the body, it becomes a separate endocrine organ and starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the continuing development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are some forms of the growth of breast cancers:

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

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without clear boundaries, "spreading" with the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain with the breast, a bright red color from the skin it raises body temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of those symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosing patients treated for inflammatory diseases, which can be named and are known these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover being a "skin" of the contracting and decreasing in space.

In some cases, breast cancer manifests inside the form of metastases within the lymph nodes for the affected side, often fails to detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancers.

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

Need to gauge the surface in the skin on the tumor: the malignant process will be observed retraction in the skin, picking up within the folds, wrinkles, a symptom of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling of the skin within the tumor, might be a direct tumor invasion to skin surface, then it becomes a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
