"BREAST CANCER" Get the Knowledge and Treatment you need to Beat Breast Cancer.

Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells. Breast cancer forms in the tissues of the breast. It is normally formed in the ducts. It can be detected using a mammogram or a through a self-exam. It is advised that these tests should be done regularly so that early detection can be made. With early detection, advances in treatment and therapy, survival rates are highly increased.

Symptoms include a lump in the breast, discharge from the nipple, or a noticeable change in the size or shape of a breast.

Medical Screening:

The commonly used screening procedure is mammography which is an imaging technique that employs serial X-rays to visualize breast tissues and detect masses not felt during a self-breast examination. This screening procedure is not perfect as it may fail to show some tumors or may show an abnormality in a normal breast.

When a lump is found, a biopsy is done to check for the dreaded cancer.

 

With advancement in research there are many breast cancer treatment options to choose from and the one you are offered depends on certain factors. The main treatments are surgery, hormone therapy, biological (Herceptin), radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These may be given individually or in combination depending on several factors such as:

- the type of breast cancer present
-  whether menopause has occurred or not
- the size of the tumor
- the grade of the cancer cells
- the stage of the cancer
- whether particular receptors are present
- the general health of the patient

Chemotherapy and radiation remain the standard breast cancer treatments. There are other newer treatment methods which are still undergoing clinical trails.

Targeted Biological Therapy is the treatment targeting specific characteristics of cancer cells. This method, when compared to chemotherapy, is less likely to harm normal healthy cells.

Hormone Therapy, also known as anti-oestrogen therapy, retards the ability of oestrogen to stimulate the growth of the cancer cells.

Anti-Angiogenic Medications are drugs which kill the cancer cells by cutting-off blood supply to them (cancer cells).

Breast cancer is curable if it is detected and treated at its early stage or upon discovering symptoms.
