Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in women, 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, as well as cancer with the nipple and also the nipple with the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as a the node using a diameter as high as several centimeters. In certain instances, a tight knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating to the surrounding fatty tissue, in others - a soft, juicy for the cut, splits easily. Diffuse cancer of the prostate is roofed for the considerable distance, the contours with the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades the skin and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In certain instances, the tumor spreads across the surface with the breast and many types of the iron is covered with a dense shell.

In histological structure are the following types of cancer of the breast:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as a varying levels of tissue and cell irregularities, which permitted 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, in addition to Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons behind breast cancers often are hormonal changes within the body: the entry into menopause, if you find an active restructuring of the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased output of progesterone and estrogen, your body will go through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining with the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast tissue begins to dissolve and become replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that this female hormones estrogen-, plays a key role inside the development of cancer of the breast. The excess hormones in the body produces a favorable background for developing the illness. 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 1 year) to lessen the potential risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion result in hormonal "explosion" in a very woman's body that may trigger the growth and development of tumors. So far there is no consensus regarding the impact about the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it's belief that these drugs reduce the chance of developing breast cancer, but increase the chance of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancers may cause harmful environmental factors: the surroundings, as well as inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients which has a family of first-degree relatives with breast cancers (mothers and sisters) probability of making a tumor increasing by greater than half - familial forms of cancer.

Benign breast diseases such as fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not result in cancer, but concurrently, create an unfavorable background due to the development.

The reason for cancer of the breast could be the outcomes 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 in the breast and female the reproductive system, having an excess fat inside body, it will become an outside endocrine organ and actually starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

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

- Nodular form, the commonest, is seen as an a dense knot of 0.5 to five cm or higher, it is 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 first 2 forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain of the breast, a bright red color with the skin it raises body temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of these symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosing patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and are described these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover as a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in proportions.

In some instances, breast cancers manifests inside form of metastases inside the lymph nodes on the affected side, often doesn't detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancers.

For small tumors with the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant as well as their husbands can detect tumor site in 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 favor of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a decent knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it really is stationary or slightly shifted, may be firmly fixed towards the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a significant size (over 3 - 5 cm and quite often 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface from the skin in the tumor: the malignant process will likely be observed retraction with the skin, picking up inside folds, wrinkles, an indicator of "lemon peel" - a neighborhood swelling from the skin over the tumor, may be a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it is a bright red colorization and sprawl as "cauliflower."
