When at a place in our body there are cells growth excessive, there will be a lump or tumor. These tumors can be benign or malignant. A malignant tumor is called cancer. Malignant tumors have unique properties, which can spread to other parts of the body to develop into new tumors. The spread is called metastase. Cancer characteristics different. There is growing rapidly, there is growing not too fast, such as breast cancer.
Breast cancer cells that can grow up to be the first by 1 cm tumor at the time of 8-12 years. Cancer cells are still at the breast gland. Cells of breast cancer can spread through the bloodstream throughout the body. When did the spread took place, we do not know. Breast cancer cells can hide inside our bodies for years without we know, and active suddenly become malignant or cancerous tumors.
Cancer development
Stage I (early stage)
The size of the tumor is not more than 2 to 2.25 cm, and there is no distribution (metastase) in the armpit lymph nodes. At this stage I, the possibility of perfect healing was 70%. To check or not there metastase to other parts of the body, must be examined in the laboratory.
Stage II
Tumor was larger than 2.25 cm and has happened metastase lymph nodes in the armpit. At this stage, the possibility to recover only 30 - 40% depending on the extent of the spread of cancer cells. In stage I and II are usually performed surgery to remove cancer cells that have spread to all parts, and radiation after surgery performed to ensure there are no more cancer cells left behind.
Stage III
Tumor was large enough, the cancer cells have spread throughout the body, and the possibility to live a little better. Breast treatment had no meaning anymore. Usually done only radiation treatment and chemotherapie (administration of drugs that can kill cancer cells). Sometimes also performed surgery to remove the breast that was severe. This effort only to obstruct the development of cancer cells in the body and to alleviate the suffering of the patient as possible.
Early prevention
Need to know, that 9 out of 10 women found a lump in her breast. For early prevention, can be done alone. Examination should be done after the menstrual period. Before menstruation, breast slightly swollen, making it hard examination. The way the examination is as follows:
* Stand in front of the mirror and see if there are abnormalities in the breast. Usually the two are not the same breast, the nipple is not located at the same altitude. See if there are wrinkles, grooves, or the nipple drawn into. If there is abnormal or out of fluid or blood from the nipple, immediately went to the doctor.
* Put your arms above your head and look back to the breast.
* Bend forward until her breasts hung down, and check again.
* Lie down on the bed and put your left hand behind his head, and a pillow under your left shoulder. Touch the left breast with the palm of the right fingers. Check whether there is a lump in the breast. Then also check that there is a lump or swelling in the left armpit.
* Check and Touch the nipple and surrounding areas. In general, when palpable mammary glands with the palm of your fingers will feel supple and easy to move. If there is a tumor, it will feel hard and can not be moved (can not be moved from its place). If you feel there is a lump the size of 1 cm or more, immediately went to the doctor. The earlier treatment, more likely to recover completely
* Do the same thing for the breast and right armpit.
Medical information
When you find a lump, usually a doctor will recommend mammografie examination. Mammografie is breast examination by X-ray equipment and is a simple way of examination, no pain, and only eat within 5 - 10 minutes only. The best time for tests is mammografie week after menstruation. The trick is to put the breast in turn between 2 sheets of the base, then made an X-ray from top to bottom, then from left to right. The results of these photographs will be reviewed by a radiologist. A lump the size was 0.25 cm can be seen on a mammogram.
Alternatively, a small operation to retrieve a sample of tissue (biopsy) of the lump, and then examined under a microscope anatomic pathology laboratory. If known and confirmed that the lump is cancerous, the breast must be removed entirely to avoid spreading to other parts of the body.
Who should undergo examination mammografie?
* Women aged more than 50 years.
* Women who have a mother or sister who had breast cancer.
* Women who have had a lifting one of her breasts. Women in this group must be in close supervision.
* Women who never bear children. Apparently in this group frequently encountered breast cancer attacks.
