Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in females, he takes the ultimate place. In most cases, breast cancer 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, along with cancer with the nipple along with the nipple in the field (Paget's disease in the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as 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 other people - a soft, juicy about the cut, splits easily. Diffuse cancer of prostate is roofed to get a considerable distance, the contours in the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades skin and forms on the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some cases, the tumor spreads down the surface from the breast and the iron is included having a dense shell.

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

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

Noninvasive breast cancers 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 in a position to distinguish different a higher level malignancy. This type of cancer include, particularly, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often gets the structure of scirrhus, as well as Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The factors behind breast cancer often are hormonal changes within the body: the entry into menopause, if you find an engaged restructuring from the hormonal regulation in the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, the body goes through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining in the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast tissue actually starts to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established the female hormones estrogen-, plays an important role within the continuing development of cancer of the breast. The excess hormones inside body creates 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 (over one year) to lessen the potential risk of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion lead to hormonal "explosion" in a woman's body that may trigger the progression of tumors. So far there's no consensus concerning the impact for the continuing development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it's considered that these drugs reduce the chance of developing breast cancers, but increase the chance of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to cancer of the breast may cause harmful environmental factors: the surroundings, along with inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

Benign breast diseases like fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not cause cancer, but at the same time, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The cause of breast cancers will be the results of radiation, like irradiation of 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 bring about cancer in the breast and female reproductive system, having an excess fat inside the body, it is 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 a couple of forms with the growth of breast cancer:

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

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without any clear boundaries, "spreading" from the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic signs of inflammation: pain in the breast, a bright beautiful red colors with the skin it raises body temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of those symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosing patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that happen to be named and are referred to these forms breast cancers. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover as being a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in size.

In certain instances, breast cancer manifests inside the form of metastases inside the lymph nodes on the affected side, often fails to detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancer.

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

Need to assess the surface from the skin on the tumor: the malignant process will be observed retraction with the skin, picking up inside the folds, wrinkles, a symptom of "lemon peel" - an area swelling of the skin on the tumor, may be a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it becomes a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
