Breast Cancer
Among all cancers in ladies, he takes the ultimate place. In most cases, cancer of the breast develops inside 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 from the breast). For the nodular cancers are seen as a the node having a diameter as high as several centimeters. In certain instances, a tight knot, is permeated with whitish layers tissue penetrating to the surrounding fat, in other people - a soft, juicy around the cut, splits easily. Diffuse cancer of the prostate is included for any considerable distance, the contours from the tumor are marked bad. Sometimes the cancer invades your skin and forms for the surface of decaying mushroom formation - a cancerous ulcer. In some instances, the tumor spreads over the surface in the breast and all sorts of 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 may be intralobular (lobular carcinoma in situ), and intraduct (ductal carcinoma in situ).
Infiltrating (invasive) cancer is characterized by varying degrees of tissue and cell irregularities, which allowed to distinguish different degree of malignancy. This type of cancer include, specifically, infiltrating ductal and lobular carcinoma, which in turn has got the structure of scirrhus, in addition to Paget's disease.
Causes of Breast Cancer.
The factors behind breast cancers often are hormonal changes inside body: the entry into menopause, if you find an active restructuring with the hormonal regulation with the woman, the ovaries lose their activity, decreased creation of progesterone and estrogen, your body is going through, "hormonal crisis." The mammary gland and endometrium (lining from the uterus) are most responsive to these changes, the breast type tissue begins to dissolve and become replaced by fat.

Scientifically established that the female hormones estrogen-, plays an important role within the continuing development of breast cancer. The excess hormones inside the body results in a favorable background for developing the illness. The least active hormones estrogen behave while pregnant and after birth - during breastfeeding. It is proved the birth and prolonged breastfeeding (more than one year) to reduce the potential risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, abortion lead to hormonal "explosion" in a very woman's body that can trigger the development of tumors. So far there's no consensus in regards to the impact on the growth and development of tumors of hormonal contraceptive drugs, however it is believed that these drugs reduce potential risk of developing breast cancers, but increase potential risk of developing cancer from the female genital organs, and osteoporosis. In addition predisposition to cancer of the breast can 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) chance of developing a tumor increasing by a lot more than half - familial varieties of cancer.
Benign breast diseases including fibrocystic breast disease, or fibroadenoz intraduct papillomatosis alone do not result in cancer, but concurrently, create an unfavorable background for its development.
The source of cancer of the breast would be the outcomes of radiation, such as 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 result in cancer from the breast and female reproductive system, with an excess dimply skin inside body, it might be a different endocrine organ and begins to actively produce hormones-estrogens, whose action and provokes the development of tumors.
Symptoms of Breast Cancer
There are a couple of forms with the growth of breast cancers:
- Nodular form, the most common, is characterized by a dense knot of 0.5 to 5 cm or more, it is seen as an all of the following symptoms;
- Diffuse. All of them are very aggressive, grow quickly, almost lightning speed, the tumor without having clear boundaries, "spreading" of the breast and skin. For the initial two forms are characteristic signs of inflammation: pain in the breast, a bright red color of the skin it raises body temperature to 39 degrees C. In view of these symptoms often occur, and errors in carried out patients treated for inflammatory diseases, that are named and they are known these forms cancer of the breast. When tubular carcinoma cancer of the breast cover as a "skin" of the contracting and decreasing in space.
In some instances, breast cancers manifests inside the form of metastases inside the lymph nodes around the affected side, often fails to detect the tumor itself - show hidden breast cancers.
For small tumors of the breast, any symptoms arise. The most observant as well as their husbands have the ability to detect tumor site inside gland by accident, 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 and only a benign tumor. Signs of malignancy other: a good knot to touch the stone, its surface is uneven, it can be stationary or slightly shifted, can be firmly fixed to the surrounding tissue or skin, usually painless, can reach a substantial size (more than three to five cm and sometimes 10-15 cm).

Need to evaluate the surface in the skin over the tumor: the malignant process will be observed retraction of the skin, obtaining inside the folds, wrinkles, a signal of "lemon peel" - an area swelling in the skin in the tumor, can be a direct tumor invasion to your skin surface, then it is a bright red color and sprawl as "cauliflower."
