BREAST CANCER BASE

Breast hyperplasia and breast cancer in the clinical manifestations are mainly to mass in the pathogenesis there are similarities, but some types of breast hyperplasia can develop into breast cancer. Hyperplasia and breast cancer is a complex issue, although 150 have been studied for many years, but until now, not yet fully clear, we believe that these two diseases from the following aspects to understand.

We must clearly these two diseases have a qualitatively different. Breast hyperplasia is a benign, non-neoplastic diseases. Breast cancer is breast cancer. Both diseases treatment, prognosis very different. In this understanding, on the basis of our discussion that the relationship between the two.

"It was three-legged stool." Seattle Cancer Rehabilitation Union, Dr out, "If you do not take any measures, you really put myself under a risk."

Conventional testing for breast cancer; If breast cancer has been in existence, conventional tests can be used to detect cancer. But pay attention to breast health of women know the sooner a cancer is found, the more likely the success of cancer treatment.

Most experts recommend the use of the three existing women a useful test : clinical examination, mammography perspective, and self-censorship.

The International Union Against Cancer TNM staging of Law (1988) has been widely used in various tumors. TNM staging international law :

1) the primary tumor (T) phases :
Tx primary tumors of unknown (to be removed).
T0 primary tumor did not palpable.
Tis carcinoma in situ (including lobular carcinoma in situ and ductal carcinoma), Paget's disease confined to the nipple, the breast pieces and did not lay hands on.
T1 tumor diameter less than 2Cm.
T1a tumors in maximal diameter of 0.5cm below.
T1b tumors largest diameter 0.5 to 1cm.
T1c tumors largest Path 1 ~ 2cm.
T2 tumors largest Path 2 ~ 5crn.
T3 tumors more than 5 cm maximal diameter.
T4 tumors of any size, a direct violation of chest and skin.
T4a direct violation chest wall tumor.
T4b surface of the breast skin edema (including Orange kind edema), skin ulcer or skin surrounding the tumor nodules satellite, but not more than ipsilateral breast.
T4c including T4a and T4b.
T4d inflammatory breast cancer.

Occult breast cancer means no symptoms and clinical examination (as measles and palpation), failed to find breast cancer, including clinical examination is considered benign breast. Occult breast cancer is divided into non-metastatic breast cancer early in hidden and has been transferred to the hidden advanced breast cancer, which failed to clinical found in the original tumor.

About 46% of breast cancer can be hidden X-ray examinations and found that its X-ray and non-occult breast cancer X-ray findings of little distinction. Most of the occult breast cancer X-ray characteristics of micro calcifications or dense shadow. On suspected cases, in consecutive regular review process, if the new local dense shadow, the early diagnosis of breast cancer is a highly correct the X-ray features.
