Breast Cancer

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

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

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is characterized by varying levels of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different level of malignancy. This type of cancer include, in particular, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often has got the structure of scirrhus, along with 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 an engaged restructuring from the hormonal regulation of the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased output of progesterone and estrogen, our bodies goes through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most understanding of these changes, the breast growth begins to dissolve and turn into replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that this female hormones estrogen-, plays a vital role inside progression of breast cancers. The excess hormones inside the body results in a favorable background for developing the condition. The least active hormones estrogen behave while pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (greater than 12 months) to relieve the chance of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" inside a woman's body that may trigger the development of tumors. So far there isn't any consensus about the impact around the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it's considered that these drugs reduce potential risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the risk of developing cancer with 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 which has a category of first-degree relatives with breast cancer (mothers and sisters) risk of having a tumor increasing by greater than half - familial forms of cancer.

Benign breast diseases including fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not result in cancer, but simultaneously, create an unfavorable background because of its development.

The reason behind breast cancers will be the effects of radiation, for example irradiation in 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 from the breast and female the reproductive system, with an excess dimply skin inside body, it might be 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 with the growth of breast cancers:

- Nodular form, the most common, is seen as a dense knot of 0.5 to five cm or more, it's seen as an all of the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without having clear boundaries, "spreading" from the breast and skin. For the first two forms are characteristic indications of inflammation: pain of the breast, a bright beautiful red colors from the skin it raises body temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of the symptoms often occur, and errors in proper diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that happen to be named and therefore are known these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover being a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in proportions.

In some instances, breast cancer manifests within the form of metastases in the lymph nodes about the affected side, often ceases to 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 the gland accidentally, but in a large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot could be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks and only a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a good knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it is stationary or slightly shifted, could be firmly fixed for the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a substantial size (a lot more than three to five cm and infrequently 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface of the skin within the tumor: the malignant process will probably be observed retraction of the skin, obtaining in the folds, wrinkles, an indication of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling with the skin over the tumor, can be a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it might be a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
