Breast Cancer

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

Breast cancer is represented macroscopically nodular and diffuse forms, along with cancer from the nipple along with the nipple with the field (Paget's disease with the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as an the node developing a diameter all the way to several centimeters. In certain instances, a good knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating to the surrounding fat, in others - a soft, juicy on the cut, splits easily. Diffuse cancer of prostate is covered to get a considerable distance, the contours in the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades your skin layer and forms for the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some instances, the tumor spreads over the surface of the breast and many types of the iron is roofed which has a dense shell.

In histological structure are the following forms of breast cancer:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

Noninvasive breast cancers 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 in a position to distinguish different amount of malignancy. This type of cancer include, especially, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often gets 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 inside body: the entry into menopause, if you have a dynamic restructuring from the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, your body is going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast growth starts to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established how the female hormones estrogen-, plays a key role inside the progression of breast cancers. The excess hormones in the body results in a favorable background for developing the condition. The least active hormones estrogen behave when pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that this birth and prolonged breastfeeding (more than 12 months) to reduce the chance of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" in a very woman's body that will trigger the continuing development of tumors. So far there is no consensus in regards to the impact on the continuing development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, however it is thought that these drugs reduce the chance of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the potential risk of developing cancer of the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancers can cause harmful environmental factors: the surroundings, along with inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients using a category of first-degree relatives with cancer of the breast (mothers and sisters) chance of having a tumor increasing by a lot more than half - familial kinds of cancer.

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

The reason for cancer of the breast could be the outcomes of radiation, including 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 cause cancer with the breast and female reproductive :, by having an excess fatty tissue inside the body, it is an outside endocrine organ and begins to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are some forms in the growth of breast cancer:

- Nodular form, the most common, is characterized by a dense knot of 0.5 to five cm or more, it can be seen as a all from the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without any clear boundaries, "spreading" in the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic indications of inflammation: pain in the breast, a bright red colorization of the skin it raises body's temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of these symptoms often occur, and errors in carried out patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that happen to be named and they are known these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover like a "skin" of the contracting and decreasing in size.

In certain instances, cancer of the breast manifests within the form of metastases in the lymph nodes for the affected side, often doesn't detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancer.

For small tumors in the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant females and their husbands can detect tumor site inside gland by chance, but in a very large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot may be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks in support of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a good knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it can be stationary or slightly shifted, may be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a significant size (over three to five cm and sometimes 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface of the skin over the tumor: the malignant process is going to be observed retraction in the skin, obtaining inside folds, wrinkles, a signal of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling of the skin in the tumor, can be a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it will become a bright beautiful red colors and sprawl as "cauliflower."
