Breast Cancer

Among all cancers in females, he takes consumers. In most cases, breast cancers develops inside the presence of precancerous changes. This is primarily a benign mammary dysplasia and papilloma ducts.

Breast cancer is represented macroscopically nodular and diffuse forms, along with cancer from the nipple and the nipple of the field (Paget's disease with 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 into the surrounding fat, in other people - a soft, juicy around 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 about the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some cases, the tumor spreads across the surface of the breast and the iron is roofed with a dense shell.

In histological structure are the following types of breast cancer:

• noninvasive: intralobular and intraduct;

• infiltrative.

Noninvasive breast cancer could 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 allowed to distinguish different level of malignancy. This type of cancer include, particularly, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which often contains the structure of scirrhus, and also Paget's disease.

Causes of Breast Cancer.

The reasons for breast cancer often are hormonal changes inside the body: the entry into menopause, if you find a dynamic restructuring from the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased production of progesterone and estrogen, one's body will go through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining with the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast tissue starts to dissolve and turn into replaced by fat.

Scientifically established how the female hormones estrogen-, plays a key role inside the development of cancer of the breast. The excess hormones inside body creates a favorable background for developing the disease. The least active hormones estrogen behave in pregnancy and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (a lot more than 12 months) to reduce the potential risk of developing breast cancers. On the other hand, abortion lead to hormonal "explosion" in a very woman's body that may trigger the continuing development of tumors. So far there is absolutely no consensus concerning the impact for the continuing development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, but it is belief that these drugs reduce the potential risk of developing breast cancer, but increase potential risk of developing cancer of the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to breast cancers could cause harmful environmental factors: the environment, along with inflammatory diseases previously deferred breast - mastitis.

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

Benign breast diseases for example fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not bring about cancer, but at the same time, create an unfavorable background due to the development.

The source of breast cancer would be the effects of radiation, including 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 cause cancer in the breast and female reproductive system, with the excess fat in the body, it becomes a different 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 some forms with the growth of cancer of the breast:

- Nodular form, the most common, is seen as a a dense knot of 0.5 to 5 cm or even more, it's characterized by 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 first 2 forms are characteristic signs of inflammation: pain of the breast, a bright beautiful red colors from the skin it raises body's temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of those symptoms often occur, and errors in carried out patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that happen to be named and they are referred to these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma cancer of the breast cover as a "skin" of the company's contracting and decreasing in proportions.

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

For small tumors of the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant women and their husbands have the ability to detect tumor site inside the gland unintentionally, but inside a large breast to detect small size hard knot. Revealed a knot may be painful when pressed, round, smooth and agile, this speaks in support of a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a decent 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 substantial size (greater than three to five cm and quite often 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface in the skin within the tumor: the malignant process is going to be observed retraction in the skin, obtaining inside folds, wrinkles, a signal of "lemon peel" - a nearby swelling from the skin within the tumor, might be a direct tumor invasion to the skin surface, then it becomes a bright beautiful red colors and sprawl as "cauliflower."
