Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in ladies, he takes the first place. In most cases, breast cancer develops inside the 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 in the nipple and the nipple from the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as the node developing a diameter all the way to several centimeters. In some instances, a decent knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating into the surrounding fatty tissue, in other people - a soft, juicy for the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate type of cancer is included for any considerable distance, the contours in the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades the skin and forms for the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In certain instances, the tumor spreads over the surface in the breast and the iron is included with a dense shell.

In histological structure will be the following kinds of breast cancers:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

Noninvasive breast cancers could be intralobular (lobular carcinoma in situ), and intraduct (ductal carcinoma in situ).

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as an varying examples of tissue and cell irregularities, which permitted to distinguish different a higher level malignancy. This type of cancer include, especially, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often contains the structure of scirrhus, as well as Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The causes of cancer of the breast often are hormonal changes within the body: the entry into menopause, if you find an active restructuring in the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased output of progesterone and estrogen, one's body is going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining from the uterus) are most attentive to these changes, the breast type tissue begins to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays a key role inside the continuing development of breast cancers. The excess hormones within the body creates a favorable background for developing the illness. The least active hormones estrogen behave during pregnancy and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (over 12 months) to cut back potential risk of developing cancer of the breast. On the other hand, abortion cause hormonal "explosion" inside a woman's body that could trigger the continuing development of tumors. So far there's no consensus concerning the impact about the progression of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it's belief that these drugs reduce the risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the risk of developing cancer of the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancer could cause harmful environmental factors: the surroundings, as well as inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients which has a family of first-degree relatives with breast cancers (mothers and sisters) risk of having a tumor increasing by more than half - familial types of cancer.

Benign breast diseases like fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not lead to cancer, but as well, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The reason behind breast cancer will be the effects of radiation, like irradiation of 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 of the breast and female reproductive system, having an excess dimply skin inside 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 many forms from the growth of breast cancer:

- Nodular form, the commonest, is characterized by a dense knot of 0.5 to five cm or higher, it is seen as a all in the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without clear boundaries, "spreading" in the breast and skin. For the first 2 forms are characteristic warning signs of inflammation: pain of the breast, a bright red colorization from the skin it raises temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of the symptoms often occur, and errors in proper diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, which can be named and are known as these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma cancer of the breast cover being a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in dimensions.

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

For small tumors with the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant women and their husbands are able to detect tumor site in the gland unintentionally, but inside a large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot can be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks in favor of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a decent knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it is stationary or slightly shifted, can be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a substantial size (greater than 3 - 5 cm and infrequently 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface in the skin over 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 nearby swelling with the skin on the tumor, might be a direct tumor invasion to your skin layer surface, then it will become a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
