Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in women, he takes the first place. In most cases, breast cancers 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 in the nipple along with the nipple in the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as the node creating a diameter all the way to several centimeters. In certain instances, a tight knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in to the surrounding fatty tissue, in others - a soft, juicy about the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate cancer is covered for a considerable distance, the contours with the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades your skin and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some cases, the tumor spreads over the surface from the breast and all the iron is covered which has a dense shell.

In histological structure would be the following forms of breast cancer:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as an varying examples of tissue and cell irregularities, which permitted to distinguish different level of malignancy. This type of cancer include, specifically, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which usually contains the structure of scirrhus, as well as Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons for breast cancers often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, if you find an energetic restructuring of the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased creation of progesterone and estrogen, our bodies will go through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining in the uterus) are most attentive to these changes, the breast type tissue begins to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established how the female hormones estrogen-, plays a key role inside growth and development of breast cancer. The excess hormones inside the body generates a favorable background for developing the disease. The least active hormones estrogen behave during pregnancy and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (a lot more than twelve months) to reduce the potential risk of developing cancer of the breast. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" inside a woman's body that will trigger the progression of tumors. So far there is absolutely no consensus in regards to the impact about the development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, however it is considered that these drugs reduce the risk of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the chance of developing cancer in the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to cancer of the breast could cause harmful environmental factors: environmental surroundings, and also inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

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

The reason for cancer of the breast could be the connection between 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 with the breast and female the reproductive system, having an excess fatty tissue inside the body, it will become another endocrine organ and starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the continuing development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are many forms with the growth of cancer of the breast:

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

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor with no clear boundaries, "spreading" of the breast and skin. For the first 2 forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain of 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 proper diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and so are described these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma breast cancers cover as a "skin" of its contracting and decreasing in dimensions.

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

For small tumors from the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant females and their husbands have the ability to detect tumor site within the gland accidentally, but inside a 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 decent knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it can be stationary or slightly shifted, might be firmly fixed on the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a tremendous size (over 3 - 5 cm and quite often 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface from the skin in the tumor: the malignant process is going to be observed retraction with the skin, picking up in the folds, wrinkles, a symptom of "lemon peel" - an area swelling from the skin within the tumor, may be a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it will become a bright beautiful red colors and sprawl as "cauliflower."
