Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in women, he takes the ultimate place. In most cases, cancer of the breast 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, along with cancer in the nipple along with the nipple in the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as an the node having a diameter all the way to several centimeters. In certain cases, a good knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in the surrounding dimply skin, in others - a soft, juicy about the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate cancer is roofed for the considerable distance, the contours in the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades the skin and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some cases, the tumor spreads along the surface from the breast and all the iron is covered having a dense shell.

In histological structure are the following varieties 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 levels of tissue and cell irregularities, which in a position to distinguish different amount of malignancy. This type of cancer include, in particular, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which in turn has the structure of scirrhus, in addition to Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The factors behind breast cancers 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 production of progesterone and estrogen, the body is going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining in the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast type tissue begins to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established the female hormones estrogen-, plays a vital role inside development of breast cancers. The excess hormones inside the body produces a favorable background for developing the condition. The least active hormones estrogen behave in pregnancy and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (more than one year) to lessen the chance of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" in the woman's body that may trigger the progression of tumors. So far there isn't any consensus in regards to the impact about the progression of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it's belief that these drugs reduce potential risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase potential risk of developing cancer with the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancers might cause harmful environmental factors: the environment, and also inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

Benign breast diseases such as fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone don't result in cancer, but concurrently, create an unfavorable background due to the development.

The reason behind breast cancers could be the outcomes of radiation, such as 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 result in cancer of the breast and female the reproductive system, having an excess fat within the body, it becomes a different endocrine organ and begins to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the growth and development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are some forms in the growth of cancer of the breast:

- Nodular form, the most common, is seen as a a dense knot of 0.5 to 5 cm or higher, it can be seen as an all in the following symptoms;

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

In certain cases, cancer of the breast manifests in the form of metastases inside 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 females and their husbands can detect tumor site inside gland unintentionally, but inside a large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot might be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks for 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 on the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach an important size (over 3 to 5 cm and infrequently 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface from the skin on the tumor: the malignant process will probably be observed retraction with the skin, obtaining in the folds, wrinkles, a symptom of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling with the skin on the tumor, may be a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it becomes a bright red colorization and sprawl as "cauliflower."
