Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in women, he takes the initial 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 with the nipple and also the nipple with the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are characterized by the node having a diameter of up to several centimeters. In certain cases, a decent knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in to the surrounding fat, in other people - a soft, juicy around the cut, splits easily. Diffuse cancer of the prostate is roofed for the considerable distance, the contours from 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 certain instances, the tumor spreads across the surface with the breast and the iron is included having a dense shell.

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

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as an varying degrees of tissue and cell irregularities, which able to distinguish different degree of malignancy. This type of cancer include, particularly, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which will gets the structure of scirrhus, along with 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 have a dynamic restructuring with the hormonal regulation in the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased output of progesterone and estrogen, our bodies is certainly going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining in the uterus) are most attentive to these changes, the breast type tissue actually starts to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established the female hormones estrogen-, plays a key role inside the progression of cancer of the breast. 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 (over twelve months) to cut back the risk of developing cancer of the breast. On the other hand, abortion cause hormonal "explosion" in the woman's body that will trigger the progression of tumors. So far there is absolutely no consensus about the impact for the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, however it is thought that these drugs reduce the potential risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase potential risk of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to cancer of the breast can cause harmful environmental factors: the planet, and also inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

Benign breast diseases for example fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone tend not to lead to cancer, but at the same time, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The cause of cancer of the breast could be the effects of radiation, for example 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 cause cancer with the breast and female reproductive :, with an excess fatty tissue within the body, it will become a different endocrine organ and actually starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the growth and development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are some forms of the growth of breast cancer:

- Nodular form, the most frequent, is seen as a dense knot of 0.5 to 5 cm or higher, it is seen as 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 first 2 forms are characteristic signs and symptoms 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 the symptoms often occur, and errors in carried out patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and they are described these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma cancer of the breast cover as being a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in space.

In some instances, cancer of the breast manifests inside the form of metastases within the lymph nodes on 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 can detect tumor site in the gland unintentionally, 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 favor of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a decent knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it's stationary or slightly shifted, might be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach an important size (a lot more than 3 - 5 cm and infrequently 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface with the skin over the tumor: the malignant process will likely be observed retraction with the skin, buying within the folds, wrinkles, an indicator of "lemon peel" - a neighborhood swelling from the skin on the tumor, might be a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it is a bright red colorization and sprawl as "cauliflower."
