Risk factors Of Breast Cancer
Risk factors you can not change include:
Age and gender: the risk of developing breast cancer increases as you age. Most cases of advanced breast cancer found in women over 50 years. Women are 100 times more likely to develop breast cancer than men.
Family history of breast cancer: one also has a higher risk of [...]
Identify Breast Cancer
Exams and Tests
The doctor will ask you about your risk factors and symptoms and then will perform a physical exam, which includes both breasts, armpits and neck area and chest. Additional tests may include:
Mammography to help identify the breast lump.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast to help better identify the breast lump.
Breast ultrasound [...]
Breast Cancer is the Rapid Proliferation
Breast cancer is the rapid proliferation, disordered and uncontrolled cell with mutated genes, which normally act by suppressing or stimulating the continuity of the cell cycle from different tissues of mammary gland. The word ‘cancer’ is Greek and means ‘crab’. It is said that traditional forms of advanced cancer and adopt a variegated form with [...]
Breast Cancer Tissue
Many breast cancers are confined in the light of the ducts or acini, without invading the surrounding tissues. In this case they are called carcinomas in situ. When proliferating too much can break the so-called basement membrane and infiltrating spread to tissues surrounding ducts and acini and then are named as invasive ductal or lobular [...]
Types of Breast Cancer
There are two main types of breast cancer:
Ductal carcinoma begins in the ducts that carry milk from the breast to the nipple. Most breast cancers are this type.
Lobular carcinoma starts in parts of the breast, called lobules, that produce milk.
In rare cases, breast cancer can start in other areas of the breast. Many breast [...]
Early Signs of Breast Cancer Symptoms
Usually, the first complaint a palpable lump in the breast, which is usually not painful. Sometimes the nipple existence (or not bloody), or a nipple is not normally been discontinued. The first sign of breast cancer is sometimes a change in the skin of the breast or nipple in his (sudden onset of chest orange [...]
Description Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is caused by abnormalities in the DNA mutations that cause a cell (in this case a cell in the chest) will share and grow uncontrolled. A typical feature of cancer is that cancer cells also involve the surrounding, normal tissue will push, oppress and hinder, and that the cells may eventually spread to [...]
Influence of Genetic Causes of Breast Cancer
If breast cancer in the family, the risk of getting breast cancer also increased. When one first degree relative with breast cancer occurs (ie the mother, a sister or a daughter), a woman twice as likely that they will get breast cancer (ie approximately 20% chance instead of the usual 10% probability).
BRCA1 and BRCA2, two [...]
Breast Cancer is Abnormal and Disordered Growth of Cells.
The breast consists of a series of mammary glands that produce milk after birth, and which are called lobes and lobules. The lobes are connected by pipes, ducts, which are the leading milk to the nipple during lactation, to feed the baby.
The glands (or lobes) and the ducts are embedded in adipose tissue and connective [...]
Surgery will allow breast cancer patients to regenerate your chest
Australian scientists announced the creation of a surgical technique, still experimental, which will enable women to whom they have one breast removed without the need to regenerate your breast reconstruction or implant.
Marzelle Phillip, MD, Bernard O’Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne city, told through the ABC radio after the success of preclinical tests with pigs, [...]
