A Brief About Breast Cancer

1. A Brief About Breast Cancer Breasts have breast cells that mutate over time. Sometimes when genes regulate cell growth, they divide uncontrollably and this mutation can lead to the development of Breast Cancer. Breast are made-up of several tissues which are responsible for different functions. Glandular - These are also known as lobules responsible for the production of milk. Fatty Tissues - These tissues are responsible for the size of the breast. Connective Tissues: These hold the other two tissues (Glandular and Fatty) in place. Are there Types of Breast Cancer? Yes! Breast cancer is of various types, we have listed a few of them below: DCIS: Ductal carcinoma in situ is a condition where cells are non-spreadable and are confined to ducts. LCIS: Lobular carcinoma in situ, cells grow in lobules but don't spread to other surrounding tissues. IDC: Invasive Ductal Carcinoma is a commonly found cancer that begins in milk ducts and spreads to other surrounding tissues or organs. ILC: Invasive Lobular Carcinoma develops in lobules and spreads to other tissues. Paget Disease of the nipples is a condition where cancer develops in nipple ducts but grows and spreads to the skin and areola. Phyllodes Tumor is a rare type of cancer that develops in the connective tissues. Angiosarcoma is a condition where cancer cells are developed in blood vessels or lymph vessels of the breast.

2. TNBC: Tripple Negative Breast Cancer is one of the most challenging types of cancer because it doesn't mark the three markers that make the diagnosis and treatment difficult. What are the Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer? Well, every cancer may have a different set of signs and symptoms. But some common symptoms are: •Lump in the breast or underarm •Pain in breast •Discolored or redness on the breast •Swelling(in the breast or under the arm) •Blood or other types of discharge from nipples (other than milk) •Deformity of breast shape The presence of these symptoms doesn't confirm the presence of cancer. They may appear due to other health conditions too. But it's always advised to get yourself checked to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Treatment of Cancer Cancer treatment isn't easy. One's chances of survival depend upon the age, gender, race, and growth rate of the cancer cells. Treatment will begin with the doctor performing some tests which confirm the presence of cancer cells and share details like the size or the part at which it's present. The most common cancer treatment is Surgery. Some cancers can be treated through surgical ways, after which a patient may only require health checkups to keep an eye on in case of cancer reappears. Other cancer treatments include: Radiation Treatment: High-powered rays are passed that are targeted toward cancer cells. Chemotherapy: Patient is given medicines to harm cancer cells. Hormone Therapy: A type of cancer treatment where the production of estrogen or progesterone is blocked as they stimulate the growth of cancerous cells.
