The Disease Of The Cancer Of Breast

The breast cancer consists of an abnormal and disordered growth of the cells of this one weave. The breast is formed by a series of mammary glands, that produce milk after the childbirth, and to that it denominates lobes and lobulillos to them.

System lymphatic is formed by containers and glasses or conduits which they contain and they lead the lymph that is a colorless liquid formed by white globules, in his majority lymphocytes. These cells recognize any strange substance the organism and release other substances that destroy the attacking agent.

Causes:

The cause of the breast cancer is not known. Any woman can have breast cancer. Although it is much less common, the men also can have breast cancer. Some women have greater probability of developing the breast cancer those others. The factors that increase their risk of having breast cancer include:

- To have a mother or sister with breast cancer.
- Never to have had children.
- To have had the first son after the 30 years.
- A file of exhibition to the radiation.
- To smoke.
- Hormone Therapy (estrogen).
- Excessive alcohol Use.
- Injury to the sine.
- Obesity.

Until the moment definitive evidence does not exist of which the prolonged use of pills for the birth control causes breast cancer, but this possibility also continues investigating itself. Also, apparently, the estrogen ingestion after the menopause causes a slight increase in the risk of contracting breast cancer. The certain investigators also are studying virus as possible causes of breast cancer.

Symptoms:

The cancer of breast in its early stage generally does not cause any pain. In fact, when it is developed in the beginning, it is possible that it does not present/display symptom some. Nevertheless in agreement the cancer grows, can cause changes to which the women must put attention:

- A mass or thickening in the sine, near this one or in the area of the armpit.
- A change in the size or forms of the sine.
- Secretion of the nipple or sensitivity, or a nipple umbilicado towards within the sine.
- You fold or dimple in the sine (the skin seems like the skin of an orange).
- A change in the form as it is seen or feels like the skin of the sine, the areola or the nipple (for example, it warms up, swollen, red or escamosa).

Diagnose:

At the present time, the best present fight against the breast cancer is an early detection of the tumor because they will increase the possibilities of success of the treatment. The different forms to detect the breast cancer:

- Autoexploración
- Mamografía
- Ecografía
- nuclear magnetic Resonance (RMN)
- axial Tomografía computadorizada (TAC)
- Tomografía by positron emission (PET)
- Termografía
- Biopsy

Mammography

The mammography is the radiological survey of the breast and constitutes, within the instrument reconnaissance, the oldest and therefore the one of greater experience until the present moment. Nowadays four innovations to this classic technique exist as they are: the mammography of hi-res, the magnification, the digitized mammography and esterotaxia.

The mammography of hi-res, by means of fine center of 0.3 and 0.1 mm, allows determining injuries of the order of fractions of millimeters with the great sensitivity and contrasts. The magnification is a technique that allows increasing the size of the image, being able to properly study the morphology of the same one, with more elements of judgment at the time of determining precocious diagnoses.

Esterotaxia is a radiological technique that allows directing a needle by means of a microcomputer to a sector of the breast, being able to carry out its punción for extraction of cellular material, thus avoiding unnecessary biopsies and injuries. The digitized mammography is a new technique of study of the radiological image of high resolution, that allows to disturb the image in different densities, being able to study these images in different scales from colors, imperceptible to the human eye and to extract information of high quality of zones that initially can be doubtful, for its correct cataloguing and study.

However, the mammography not always is able to diagnose certain tumors, mainly when it is circumscribed processes or are these inside dense breasts, of here the necessity of the use of the ecotomográfica and cytological exploration of the combined breast, to carry out its correct diagnoses.

Risk Factors:

- Postmenopausal
- Familiar History of breast cancer
- I was Never pregnant
- First pregnancy to age outpost
- Menopause to age outpost
- Precocious Beginning of my menstruation
- Antecedent of abnormal mammary biopsy
- Postmenopausal Obesity

Types of Cancer of Breast

Ductal Cancer: it is located in the union conduits. He is most frequent.
Lobulillar Carcinoma: is located in the glands that conform the main part of the mammary weaving.
Inflammatory Cancer: the breast appears inflamed and blushed. He is little frequent. In its beginning, the breast cancer can be presented/displayed of asintomática form: the cancer initiates its development, but still it does not present/display symptoms or clinical signs that show it, this can make difficult a precocious diagnosis (hidden life of the tumor).

Treatment:

The treatment will come determined by the size from the tumor and if there have been extension to the ganglia or other zones of the body. Generally, when the tumor is smaller of 1 centimeter of diameter, the surgery is sufficient to finish with the precise cancer and not of chemotherapy. However, there are few cases in which do not require a complementary treatment to the surgery, or with chemotherapy or hormone therapy.

The x-ray consists of the ray use of high energy, like x-rays, to destroy or to diminish the number of cancerous cells. It is a local treatment that is administered after the preservative surgery (when it is used after the mastectomía is because it is considered that risk exists of which the tumor reproduces). The chemotherapy implies the administration of very strong medicines. For that reason, they administer themselves along with other drugs that diminish some of those indirect effects.

Main drugs Against the Cancer of Breast:

• Antimetabolitos: 5-fluoracilo, metotrexato, gemcitabina, citarabina and fludarabina.
• Antitumorlike antibiotics: daunorubicina, bleomicina, doxorrubicina, dactinomicina and idarrubicina.
• Alquilantes: dacarbazina, busulfán, cisplatino, ciclofosfamida, mecloretamina, ifosfamida and melfalán.
• Inhibitors of the mitosis: paclitaxel, vinblastina, docetaxel, vincristina, etoposida and vinorelbina.

Between the malignant tumors that can present/display the woman, the breast cancer is most frequent; of here the great importance of the initial diagnosis, to carry out a suitable treatment and, if possible, curative. Factors of risk in the appearance exist, more and more frequents of the breast cancer, as they are: age (40-50 years), familiar inheritance, some previous benign mammary pathologies, etc., and are, in this type of women, in whom it is necessary to make periodic controls, since with it we would be able to diminish mortality between a 30-40% of the feminine population.
