- Breast cancer is a malignant tumor arising from epithelial cells of breast whose genes are induced by various carcinogens, causing mutation thus leads to cell proliferation being out of control and exceeding the limits of self-repair.
- A woman has 10% of possibility to develop breast cancer in her whole life, second only to cervical cancer. This risk increases with aging, especially the menopausal women between age of 40~60. The real causes of breast cancer are not yet fully known although a number of risk factors have been identified, such as family history of breast cancer, menarche at earlier age and so on. But what so encouraging is that the advanced medical facilities and anticancer techniques from Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou are helping more and more women do breast cancer screening and treatment.
-
- 1. A painless palpable lump in the breast.
- 2. Unusual discharge from nipple that may be clear, bloody, or another color.
- 3. Swelling and thickening on the skin of the breast
- 4. Indentation or wrinkling on the breast, the asymmetry of nipples
- 5. Nipple erosion, itching and scaly rash
- 6. Swelling under the armpit.
- Breast self-examination can be done at the fifth days after your menstrual cycle ends, checking whether the following symptoms develop or not:
- 1. Check when taking a shower, hand coating with soap, use the middle finger and forefinger to press your breast in clockwise direction, checking whether there is mass or pain.
- 2. Check in front of a mirror, droop two hands on each side of the body, observe contour of your breast, whether there is discharge when pressing the nipple gently, then check whether there is swelling under your armpit.
-
- The following examinations can help patients detect breast cancer:
- 1. Palpation: an experienced doctor can palpate to ensure whether there is lump or not, its texture, lymph nodes under armpit, etc, which can screen suspected patients with breast cancer.
- 2. Ultrasound test: it can clearly reveal the texture and location of lump, which provides comparatively reliable basis for distinguishing between benign and malignant tumor.
- 3. CT scan: it can be used to determine the location of impalpable breast lesions before biopsy is done and to stage breast cancer, as well as check whether there are masses behind the mammary area, armpit and lymph nodes of internal breast.
- 4. Mammography: clear images can be got to find out the bud of minor tumors that cannot be found by palpation..
- 5. Cancer marker examination: biochemical examination, chemical luminescence immunity, radiation immune, enzyme immunity can be done to test the cancer marker, helping increase the positive rate of breast cancer.
- 6. Biopsy: although there are plenty of examination methods for breast cancer nowadays, the biopsy is the only sure way to determine whether a lump is cancer. If all the above examinations still cannot clearly identify mass or cyst, biopsy should be undergone to confirm it pathologically.

- Breast cancer is a cancer that is very easy to spread to whole body, so the right and effective treatment is very important. The conventional treatments for breast cancer include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but they cannot kill all the cancer cells and would cause server side effects.
