Breast Cancer

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

In histological structure are the following kinds of breast cancers:

• 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 seen as a varying degrees of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different degree of malignancy. This type of cancer include, in particular, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which will has got the structure of scirrhus, along with Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

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

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays an important role within the continuing development of breast cancer. The excess hormones within the body creates a favorable background for developing the sickness. The least active hormones estrogen behave when pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved how the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (a lot more than one year) to lessen the risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion result in hormonal "explosion" in the woman's body that will trigger the continuing development of tumors. So far there's no consensus in regards to the impact around the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it is considered that these drugs reduce the risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the risk of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancers might cause harmful environmental factors: the planet, and also inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients with a group of first-degree relatives with breast cancers (mothers and sisters) likelihood of developing a tumor increasing by over half - familial kinds of cancer.

Benign breast diseases like fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone tend not to bring about cancer, but at the same time, create an unfavorable background due to the development.

The source of breast cancers will be the results of radiation, such as 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 of the breast and female reproductive system, having an excess dimply skin inside the body, it becomes an outside endocrine organ and begins to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the continuing development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are a couple of forms with the growth of breast cancers:

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

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor with no clear boundaries, "spreading" from the breast and skin. For the first 2 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 the symptoms often occur, and errors in carried out patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and so are known these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover as being a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in space.

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

For small tumors in the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant ladies and their husbands have the ability to detect tumor site inside the gland by accident, but in a very large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot could be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks in favor of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a strong knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it can be stationary or slightly shifted, can be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach an important size (more than 3 to 5 cm and quite often 10-15 cm).

Need to assess the surface from the skin on the tumor: the malignant process will probably be observed retraction with the skin, collecting inside folds, wrinkles, an indication of "lemon peel" - a local swelling from the skin within the tumor, can be a direct tumor invasion to skin surface, then it will become a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
