Breast Cancer

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

In histological structure include the following varieties of breast cancers:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as varying levels of tissue and cell irregularities, which able to distinguish different level of malignancy. This type of cancer include, in particular, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often gets the structure of scirrhus, along with Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons behind breast cancers often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, when there is an energetic restructuring with the hormonal regulation from the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, your body goes through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast growth actually starts to dissolve and be replaced by fat.

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

In addition, patients which has a family of first-degree relatives with breast cancer (mothers and sisters) risk of developing a tumor increasing by over half - familial varieties of cancer.

Benign breast diseases including fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone don't cause cancer, but at the same time, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The reason for breast cancer could be the connection between radiation, for example 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 bring about cancer in the breast and female the reproductive system, with an excess fatty tissue in the body, it might be a separate endocrine organ and actually starts to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the growth and development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

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

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

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor with no clear boundaries, "spreading" from the breast and skin. For the first 2 forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain from the breast, a bright red colorization from the skin it raises temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of the symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, which are named and therefore are known these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma cancer of the breast cover being a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in size.

In some cases, breast cancer manifests inside the form of metastases within the lymph nodes about the affected side, often does not detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancers.

For small tumors from the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant females and their husbands are able to detect tumor site within the gland by chance, but in 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 decent knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it's stationary or slightly shifted, could be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a significant size (more than three to five cm and sometimes 10-15 cm).

Need to gauge the surface from the skin within the tumor: the malignant process will likely be observed retraction of the skin, picking up in the folds, wrinkles, a signal of "lemon peel" - a local swelling with the skin on the tumor, is often a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it is a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
