Breast Cancer

Among all cancers 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, along with cancer of the nipple and also the nipple with the field (Paget's disease with the breast). For the nodular cancers are characterized by the node having a diameter as high as several centimeters. In some instances, a good knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in the surrounding dimply skin, in others - a soft, juicy for the cut, splits easily. Diffuse cancer of prostate is covered to get a considerable distance, the contours of the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades skin and forms for the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some instances, the tumor spreads along the surface of the breast and all the iron is covered using a dense shell.

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

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

Noninvasive cancer of the breast may 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 allowed to distinguish different level of malignancy. This type of cancer include, in particular, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often contains the structure of scirrhus, along with Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The factors behind cancer of the breast often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, should there be a dynamic restructuring in the hormonal regulation from the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, your body will go through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast growth begins to dissolve and stay replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays an important role within the development of cancer of the breast. The excess hormones within the body creates a favorable background for developing the sickness. The least active hormones estrogen behave during pregnancy and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (greater than 12 months) to lessen the potential risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" inside a woman's body that will trigger the progression of tumors. So far there isn't any consensus regarding the impact for the continuing development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, yet it's considered that these drugs reduce the potential risk of developing breast cancer, but increase the potential 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 surroundings, as well as inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

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

The source of breast cancers could be the effects of radiation, such as 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 lead to cancer from the breast and female reproductive system, with an excess fatty tissue inside body, it becomes an outside endocrine organ and starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the growth and development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are a couple of forms from the growth of breast cancer:

- Nodular form, the most frequent, is seen as an a dense knot of 0.5 to five cm or maybe more, it can be seen as an all of the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor with no clear boundaries, "spreading" in the breast and skin. For the first 2 forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain in the breast, a bright beautiful red colors of the skin it raises body's temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of those symptoms often occur, and errors in carried out patients treated for inflammatory diseases, which are named and they are described these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover as a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in space.

In certain instances, breast cancer manifests in the form of metastases inside the lymph nodes on the affected side, often does not detect the tumor itself - show hidden cancer of the breast.

For small tumors with the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant women and their husbands can detect tumor site within the gland accidentally, but in a large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot may be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks and only 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 for the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a significant size (greater than three to five cm and sometimes 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface from the skin within the tumor: the malignant process will be observed retraction in the skin, picking up inside folds, wrinkles, an indication of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling of the skin over the tumor, can be a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it becomes a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
