Breast Cancer

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

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

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is characterized by varying examples of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different a higher level malignancy. This type of cancer include, especially, 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, when there is an energetic restructuring from the hormonal regulation of the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased manufacture of progesterone and estrogen, one's body will go through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining from the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast tissue begins to dissolve and become replaced by fat.

Scientifically established how the female hormones estrogen-, plays an integral role inside the growth and development of breast cancer. The excess hormones in the body generates a favorable background for developing the illness. The least active hormones estrogen behave while pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved how the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (a lot more than one year) to lessen the chance of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion cause hormonal "explosion" inside a woman's body that may trigger the growth and development of tumors. So far there is no consensus concerning the impact for the progression of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, yet it's considered that these drugs reduce the chance of developing cancer of the breast, but increase the risk of developing cancer with the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to cancer of the breast may cause harmful environmental factors: the surroundings, along with inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

In addition, patients using a category of first-degree relatives with cancer of the breast (mothers and sisters) risk of making 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 don't result in cancer, but as well, create an unfavorable background for the development.

The source of breast cancers will be the connection between radiation, for example 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 result in cancer of the breast and female reproductive system, with the excess dimply skin inside the body, it will become 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 several forms from the growth of breast cancers:

- Nodular form, the most common, is characterized by a dense knot of 0.5 to cm or maybe more, it's characterized by all in the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without clear boundaries, "spreading" with the breast and skin. For the first two forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain with the breast, a bright red colorization in the skin it raises temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of such symptoms often occur, and errors in proper diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, which are named and so are referred to these forms breast cancers. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover as a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in dimensions.

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

For small tumors of the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant females and their husbands are able to detect tumor site inside gland accidentally, but in the large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot might be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks in favor of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a good knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it really is stationary or slightly shifted, might be firmly fixed on the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a tremendous size (greater than 3 to 5 cm and quite often 10-15 cm).

Need to assess the surface in the skin in the tumor: the malignant process will likely be observed retraction in the skin, buying inside the folds, wrinkles, an indication of "lemon peel" - a neighborhood swelling with the skin over the tumor, can be a direct tumor invasion to skin surface, then it might be a bright red colorization and sprawl as "cauliflower."
