Breast Cancer

Among all cancers ladies, he takes the initial place. In most cases, breast cancers 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, as well as cancer of the nipple as well as the nipple of the field (Paget's disease from the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as a the node having a diameter of up to several centimeters. In certain instances, a strong knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating in the surrounding dimply skin, in other people - a soft, juicy for the cut, splits easily. Diffuse prostate cancer is roofed for a considerable distance, the contours in the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades your skin layer and forms about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In certain cases, the tumor spreads down the surface in the breast and all the iron is covered which has a dense shell.

In histological structure are the following forms of breast cancers:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

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

Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is seen as an varying degrees of tissue and cell irregularities, which permitted to distinguish different amount of malignancy. This type of cancer include, in particular, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often has the structure of scirrhus, and also Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The factors behind cancer of the breast often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, should there be an active restructuring of the hormonal regulation in the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased creation of progesterone and estrogen, your body goes through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining of the uterus) are most tuned in to these changes, the breast type tissue begins to dissolve and turn into replaced by fat.

Scientifically established the female hormones estrogen-, plays an important role inside continuing development of breast cancers. The excess hormones inside 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 (over 12 months) to lessen the potential risk of developing breast cancers. 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's no consensus about the impact on the progression of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it is belief that these drugs reduce the chance of developing breast cancer, but increase potential risk of developing cancer with the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancer may cause harmful environmental factors: environmental surroundings, in addition to inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

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

The reason behind breast cancers could be the connection between radiation, for example 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 cause cancer with the breast and female reproductive system, with an excess dimply skin in the body, it might be a different endocrine organ and begins to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the growth and development of tumors.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

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

- Nodular form, the commonest, is seen as a dense knot of 0.5 to cm or even more, it's seen as a all of the following symptoms;

- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without having clear boundaries, "spreading" from the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic signs and symptoms of inflammation: pain in the breast, a bright beautiful red colors from the skin it raises body's temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of the symptoms often occur, and errors in diagnosis of patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and so are described these forms breast cancer. When tubular carcinoma breast cancer cover as a "skin" of their contracting and decreasing in proportions.

In certain instances, breast cancer manifests within the form of metastases within the lymph nodes on the affected side, often fails to detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancer.

For small tumors from the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant women and their husbands are able to detect tumor site within the gland by accident, but in a large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot can be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks in support of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a tight knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it's stationary or slightly shifted, might be firmly fixed on the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach an important size (greater than 3 to 5 cm and sometimes 10-15 cm).

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