The treatment for breast cancer involves a multidisciplinary approach, including input from general surgery, pathology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and radiology. Factors such as the patient’s overall health, existing conditions, cancer type, and stage are considered in planning treatment.
Breast cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the milk-producing glands and ducts of the breast, leading to tumor formation. It is one of the most common cancers in women and can also occur in men.
The exact cause of breast cancer is unknown, but it results from a combination of risk factors. Genetic factors, such as mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, significantly increase risk. Other factors include family history, prolonged exposure to estrogen and progesterone, age, lifestyle choices, and radiation exposure.
Breast cancer predominantly affects older adults (over 50 years),with women being at higher risk than men. Family history, genetic mutations, early menstruation, late menopause, and unhealthy lifestyles contribute to increased risk.
Symptoms vary by stage and individual but commonly include lumps in the breast or armpit, changes in breast size or shape, visible skin changes, discharge from the nipple, and sores on the breast.
Treatment methods depend on the type and stage of cancer, patient health, and preferences. Options include surgical procedures (lumpectomy, mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and lymph node dissection),radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted drug therapy, and psychosocial support.
Yes, the chance of overcoming breast cancer is high with early detection and appropriate treatment. Survival rates depend on cancer stage, type, hormone receptor status, treatment response, and the patient’s overall health.
