Symptoms and signs of Breast Cancer Can Still be Cured

1. Symptoms and signs of Breast Cancer Can Still beCured Breast cancer has become one of the main causes of the high number of deaths in women. In 2015, data from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that there have been 507 thousand women died due to breast cancer. It is scary, but actually if the traits of early-stage breastcancercanbedetected,itisnotlikelythisdiseasecanbecured.Therefore,itisimportant for You to know the traits of early breast cancer signs and symptomsas early aspossible. Refertotheexplanationforthedevelopmentofbreastcancerbystageaswellasthesignsand traits of breast cancerbelow. The development of breast cancer stage oneup. If seen from the development of cancer cells, breast cancer can be divided into several stages, namely: Breast cancer stage zero Whenthisstageoccurs,thecancercellsalreadythereandgrowing.Butitsdevelopmentisstill only in the ducts of the breast. Has not spread at all. Breast cancer stage one

2. Breast cancer stage one still get early-stage breast cancer. The characteristics of breast cancer in this stage is the cancer cells have started growing and enlarged in the breast that become a place of growth. However, the cancer cells have not spread and the size is not more than 5cm. Breast cancer stage two At this stage, cancer cells can develop and grow in several ways. On the breast cancer stage IIA, the size of the mass of cancer less than 2 cm but has spread to lymph nodes in thearmpit. While on the breast cancer stage IIB, the mass of cancer has been more than 5 cm but cancer cells have not spread to the glands under thearmpit. Breast cancer stage three Ifsomeonehasalreadyenteredthisstage,itisdefinitelyacancercellsareabletospread.Stage IIIA is a condition where cancer cells have spread to the tissues of thebody.

Signs and traits of breastcancer The early symptoms and signs breast canceris recognized, then the easier the cancer cells is removedfromthebody.Cancercellsstagezero,usuallydonotshowsignsortraitsofanykind. However, You can already recognize the characteristic features of breast cancer stageone. The characteristics of breast cancer the most common is the appearance of lumps in thebreast.

Generally, the characteristics of the lumps of breast cancer will be seen to have a hard texture with unclear boundaries and its surface is uneven. Bump also continue to settle 8 to 10 days after menstruation. If the lump close to the nipple, it will be seen that the nipples areinterested in, and somewhat hard-driven (sticky).

3. In addition to the appearance of bumps, signs and traits of early-stage breast cancer that You can recognize is: Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of thebreast.

The various causes of breast cancer

4. Actually until now researchers still can not know for sure what causes breastcancer. Like other cancers, breast cancer is a condition when certain cells grow abnormally and can not be controlled. Over time, these cancer cells will attack the tissues of the breast healthy nearby, and eventually spread to the entirebody. Further, researchers have successfully found some genes which if mutated, would be potentially against the development of breast cancer. Gene mutations are cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and cancer gene 2(BRCA2). Thesecondgeneisfoundinapproximately10percentofthepopulationofpatientswithbreast cancer. Even so, even with the presence of gene mutations, experts still can not establish the causeofthebiochemicalinteractionsthatareneededinthedevelopmentofbreastcancercells. the breast pain swelling In addition to gene mutation, the researchers also agreed that medical history or lifestyle may increase the risk of breast cancer. Some risk factors that may be the cause of breast canceris: Gender Women are 100 times more often diagnosed with breast cancer than men. This is due to the influenceoffemalesexhormones,particularlyestrogenandprogestron.Insomecasesofbreast cancer, both of these hormones act as a trigger for cell growth and division. The risks of this cancer will generally increase due to the cells of the breast are often exposed tothesecondexposureofthesehormonesduringthemenstrualcycle. In addition,womenwho experienced early menstruation (before 12 years), menopause after 55 years, as well as have large breasts are also at high risk of breast cancer. Age According to a study by the American Cancer Society, more than two-thirds of breast cancer cases found in women aged 55 years and more. Only one-eighth the population of women found to have breast cancer at age less than 45years. Family medicalhistory Otherriskfactorsthatcouldpotentiallybethecauseofbreastcancerisfamilymedicalhistory. Women at risk is high of developing breast cancer if they have a blood relationship directly with the people who are diagnosed with breast cancer, e.g. mother, brother, orchild. Genetic According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, genetic mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA, as far as this is the cause of breast cancer derived the mostcommon.

5. Mutations in BRCA1 generally will only affect the risk of breast cancer in women, but mutationsinBRCA2havecontributedasariskfactorofbreastcancerinbothwomenandmen. Other genes that have a role in breast cancer derivative is ATM, p53, CHEK2, PTEN, and CDH1. • Certain ethnic • One of the factors the causes of breast cancer other is ethnic. Women nationality Europe rated more susceptible to breast cancer. Even so, African-American women have the chances of survival are very small to survive from this disease. Breast cancer also be the main cause of death in women Hispanic. • InIndonesia,breastcancerrankedthefirstcauseofdeathinwomen,beatinganumberofother types of cancer. The death rate due to breast cancer in women reaching a 21.4 percent based on the profile data mortality from Cancer (Cancer Mortality Profile) which was released by WHO in2014. • Lifestylefactors • In addition to the various factors that cause breast cancer are already mentioned above, some lifestyle habits also indirectly be the cause signsand symptoms of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk of breast cancer include: • Obesity or excessweight • Excessive alcohol consumption

6. Do not have children • Having your first child after 35 yearsold • Taking birth control pills • Using hormone replacementtherapy • Various treatment options of breastcancer • Here are some of the treatment options of breast cancerinclude: • Surgery • Surgery conservative, that is raised along with the cancer cells of the lymph nodes involved. Mastectomy total, ie lifting the entire breast affected bycancer. • Modified radical mastectomy (mastectomy modified radical), which remove the entire breast withcancer,lymphnodesunderthearmpit,alongthemusclesonthechest,andsometimespart of the muscles of the chestwall. • Radiation therapy • Radiation therapy uses X-rays to high-powered targeted to kill cancer cells can reduce the risk of recurrence. Radiation is generally used to destroy the cells that escaped the surgery. This therapy is given regularly for women who are at high risk after undergoing amastectomy. • Chemotherapy • Chemotherapyisacancertherapyusingdrugstoinhibitthegrowthofcancercells.Thistherapy can be done before surgery to shrink the tumor before it is removed. In addition, this therapy can also be done after surgery to prevent tumor growthback. • Hormone therapy • Hormone therapy is a type of cancer therapy by inhibiting the hormones and prevent the developmentofcancercells.Thistherapyiseffectiveonlyincancersinthebreastaresensitive to the hormone.

This therapy among otherthings: • Monoclonal antibodies • Inhibitors of tyrosinekinase • Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (inhibitors of cyclin-dependentkinase)

7. The earlier the stage of cancer Your breast the higher the level of success of the treatment. In fact, according to data from the National Cancer, a person who is experiencing breast cancer stage one has a chance to survive the next 5 years reach 100percent. How to detect a characteristic of early-stage breast cancer? breast pain due toPMS To know the characteristic of early breast cancer, there are several things You can do, suchas: Breast self-check The easiest step to determine a feature of early breast cancer, You can do BSE, or breast self- examination. Breast self-examination is a technique of checking for women that can be done at home to check for lumps in the breast. Examination BSE conducted on a regular basis will help recognize the texture of the breast tissue is normal, so that if later You feel there is something unusual in the breast, You can be noticedandcanbeimmediatelycheckedtothedoctor.Trymakeitahabit tocheckthebreasts yourself every month. This way, You will be able to easily detect traits of lumps of breast cancer. The best time to examine breasts is a few days after the menstrual cycle finishes. Because hormonal changes can affect the shape and the feeling of You against the breast, the examination is best when Your breasts are at statusnormal. For women who have not experienced a menstrual cycle yet I should choose the same day to dothetest,forexamplethefirstdayofeachmonth.Itishighlyrecommendedtowriteajournal or notes about how to form Your breasts on any checks, to find if there is achange. Mammography In addition to doing BSE, You can do screening mammography routinely is also important to know the characteristic of early breast cancer. Mammography is the technique of scanning the image using the rays of the lower x-ray dose to detect and diagnose breast cancer. A Mammogram done simultaneously with the inspection routine clinical and examination breast self monthly as an important step in the early diagnosis of breastcancer. Women aged 40 years and over are required to undergo a mammogram every one to twoonce. If You or Your family has a history of breast cancer, your doctor may recommend to start mammograms early, often, and added some of the alternativescanning.
