Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in females, he takes the ultimate place. In most cases, breast cancers 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 the nipple in the field (Paget's disease of the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as the node using a diameter of up to several centimeters. In certain cases, a tight knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in the surrounding fat, on other occasions - a soft, juicy around the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate cancer is included to get a considerable distance, the contours from the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades skin and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some cases, the tumor spreads along the surface from the breast and all sorts of the iron is covered with a dense shell.

In histological structure will be the following forms of breast cancers:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons behind cancer of the breast often are hormonal changes in the body: the entry into menopause, if you have a dynamic restructuring of the hormonal regulation of the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, one's body is certainly going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining with the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast type tissue actually starts to dissolve and stay replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays a vital role inside the growth and development of breast cancers. The excess hormones in the body produces a favorable background for developing the condition. The least active hormones estrogen behave during pregnancy and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved that this birth and prolonged breastfeeding (more than twelve months) to reduce the chance of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion result in hormonal "explosion" in the woman's body that could trigger the development of tumors. So far there isn't any consensus about the impact on the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, yet it's thought that these drugs reduce potential risk of developing breast cancer, but increase potential risk of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to cancer of the breast might cause harmful environmental factors: the planet, in addition to inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients which has a group of first-degree relatives with breast cancers (mothers and sisters) risk of creating a tumor increasing by a lot more than half - familial kinds of cancer.

Benign breast diseases such as fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone usually do not bring about cancer, but as well, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The reason for breast cancer could be the effects of radiation, including irradiation from 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 the reproductive system, having an excess dimply skin in the body, it might be 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 a couple of forms in the growth of breast cancer:

- Nodular form, the most frequent, is seen as an a dense knot of 0.5 to 5 cm or higher, it is characterized by all of 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 first two forms are characteristic indications of inflammation: pain with the breast, a bright beautiful red colors from the skin it raises body temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of such symptoms often occur, and errors in proper diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and therefore are referred to these forms breast cancers. When tubular carcinoma breast cancers cover as a "skin" of the contracting and decreasing in proportions.

In some instances, cancer of the breast manifests in the form of metastases inside the lymph nodes about 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 in the gland by accident, but inside a 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 strong knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it's stationary or slightly shifted, may be firmly fixed on the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach an important size (more than 3 to 5 cm and often 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface of the skin on the tumor: the malignant process will be observed retraction in the skin, buying within the folds, wrinkles, an indication of "lemon peel" - an area swelling with the skin on the tumor, is often a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it might be a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
