Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in ladies, he takes the initial 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 from the nipple and also the nipple in the field (Paget's disease in the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as a the node developing a diameter up to several centimeters. In some instances, a good knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating to the surrounding fatty tissue, in others - a soft, juicy on the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate type of cancer is covered for a considerable distance, the contours in the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades your skin layer and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In certain cases, the tumor spreads along the surface of the breast and all sorts of the iron is included having a dense shell.

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

• 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 an varying levels of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different amount of malignancy. This type of cancer include, particularly, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which in turn 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 in the body: the entry into menopause, if you find an engaged restructuring from the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, our bodies is going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast growth starts to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays a vital role within the progression of breast cancers. The excess hormones within the body creates a favorable background for developing the sickness. The least active hormones estrogen behave while pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (a lot more than 1 year) to lessen the chance of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion lead to hormonal "explosion" in the woman's body that could trigger the development of tumors. So far there's no consensus regarding the impact about the development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it is thought that these drugs reduce the potential risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the potential risk of developing cancer in the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancer may cause harmful environmental factors: environmental surroundings, along with inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients with a category of first-degree relatives with breast cancer (mothers and sisters) probability of making a tumor increasing by a lot more than half - familial varieties of cancer.

Benign breast diseases for example fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone don't result in cancer, but simultaneously, create an unfavorable background for its development.

The source of breast cancers would be the results 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 result in cancer of the breast and female the reproductive system, having an excess fatty tissue within the body, it will become an outside endocrine organ and starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are many forms from the growth of breast cancer:

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

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without any clear boundaries, "spreading" in the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic indications of inflammation: pain with the breast, a bright red colorization in the skin it raises body's temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of the symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, which can be named and are known as these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma breast cancers cover being a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in size.

In certain cases, cancer of the breast manifests within the form of metastases in the lymph nodes for the affected side, often ceases to detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancer.

For small tumors with the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant ladies and their husbands can easily detect tumor site within the gland by chance, but in a very large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot may be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks for a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a good knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it's stationary or slightly shifted, could be firmly fixed towards the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a substantial size (a lot more than three to five cm and quite often 10-15 cm).

Need to assess the surface of the skin within the tumor: the malignant process will probably be observed retraction with the skin, collecting in the folds, wrinkles, an indicator of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling from the skin in the tumor, is often a direct tumor invasion to your skin layer surface, then it will become a bright beautiful red colors and sprawl as "cauliflower."
