Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in ladies, he takes the initial place. In most cases, cancer of the breast develops in 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 in the nipple and also the nipple from the field (Paget's disease in the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as an the node creating a diameter as high as several centimeters. In certain instances, a decent knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating to the surrounding fat, on other occasions - a soft, juicy on the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate type of cancer is roofed for the considerable distance, the contours of the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades skin and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In certain cases, the tumor spreads across the surface with the breast and all the iron is included with a dense shell.

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

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as a varying examples of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different amount of malignancy. This type of cancer include, especially, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which usually contains the structure of scirrhus, along with Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The factors behind breast cancers often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, should there be an active restructuring with the hormonal regulation of the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased output of progesterone and estrogen, one's body is certainly going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast tissue starts to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

Scientifically established the female hormones estrogen-, plays an integral role within the continuing development of breast cancers. The excess hormones inside the body results in a favorable background for developing the sickness. The least active hormones estrogen behave while pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that this birth and prolonged breastfeeding (greater than 1 year) to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion bring about hormonal "explosion" inside a woman's body that could trigger the growth and development of tumors. So far there's no consensus regarding the impact on the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, however it is considered that these drugs reduce the risk of developing breast cancers, but increase the potential risk of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancer could cause harmful environmental factors: the environment, in addition to inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

Benign breast diseases for example fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not lead to cancer, but as well, create an unfavorable background for its development.

The reason for breast cancer will be the results of radiation, such as irradiation with 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 lead to cancer of the breast and female reproductive :, with the excess fatty tissue inside body, it will become a different endocrine organ and starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the growth and development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

There are some forms of the growth of breast cancer:

- Nodular form, the most common, is seen as an a dense knot of 0.5 to cm or more, it's characterized by all from 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 couple of forms are characteristic indications of inflammation: pain of the breast, a bright red colorization from the skin it raises temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of these symptoms often occur, and errors in proper diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that happen to be named and are referred to these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma cancer of the breast cover as a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in space.

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

For small tumors from the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant as well as their husbands can detect tumor site inside gland by chance, but in a very large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot might 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 is stationary or slightly shifted, might be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a tremendous size (greater than 3 to 5 cm and often 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface in the skin within the tumor: the malignant process will probably be observed retraction of the skin, buying inside folds, wrinkles, a signal of "lemon peel" - a neighborhood swelling with the skin on the tumor, is often a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it might be a bright beautiful red colors and sprawl as "cauliflower."
