Hello dear friends of this beautiful community @steemwomenclub, today I want to talk to you about a very important topic for us women, it is about breast cancer or breast cancer, this is a disease that affects women regardless of their age, social condition or culture , It is almost exclusive to women, although a low percentage of men can suffer from it, it originates when breast cells begin to grow uncontrollably, breast cancer cells normally form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or It can be felt as a mass or lump.
Where does breast cancer start?
Breast cancers can start in different parts of the breast.
- Most breast cancers start in the ducts that carry milk to the nipple (ductal cancers)
- Some cancers start in the glands that make milk (lobular cancers)
- There are also other types of breast cancer that are less common such as phyllodes tumor and angiosarcoma
- A small number of cancers start in other tissues of the breast. These cancers are called sarcomas and lymphomas, and they are not actually considered breast cancers.
Signs and symptoms of breast cancer:
- Swelling of all or part of the breast (even if you do not feel a lump)
- Dimpling of the skin (sometimes similar to the peel of an orange)
- Pain in the breast or nipple
- Retraction (contraction) of the nipples
- Red, dry, peeling, or thick nipple or breast skin
- Nipple discharge other than breast milk
- Swollen lymph nodes (sometimes breast cancer can spread to lymph nodes in the armpits or around the collarbone and cause a lump or swelling there, even before the original tumor in the breast is large enough to be able to feel it)
How is it diagnosed:
There are several ways to make the diagnosis both at home and in the clinic
- Self-examination
- Breast echo
- Mammograms
Not all the lumps that we can feel in our body are malignant but that is not why we are going to stop doing all the necessary tests.
This type of cancer diagnosed in time has many possibilities of being established in the body, the most important thing is to carry out a monthly home self-examination which will help us a lot, annually do the necessary medical check-up such as mammograms, ecosonograms, let's make this information massive to help more women in the world to avoid and fight this disease.
