Breast Cancer Table of Contents Types of Breast Cancer Carcinoma in Situ ... Benign Breast Lumps Types of Breast Cancer Carcinoma in Situ In situ means that the cancer stays confined to ducts or lobules and has not invaded surrounding fatty tissues in the breast or spread to other organs in the body. There are two types of breast carcinoma in situ: Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) : Also called lobular neoplasia. It begins in the lobules but does not penetrate through the lobule walls. Most breast cancer specialists think that LCIS, itself, does not usually become an invasive cancer, but women with this condition do run a higher risk of developing an invasive cancer in either breast. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): The most common type of noninvasive breast cancer. Cancer cells inside the ducts do not spread through the walls of the ducts into the fatty tissue of the breast. Infiltrating (or Invasive) Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) metastasis ). Infiltrating or invasive ductal carcinoma accounts for about 80% of all breast cancers.

This may be accomplished by obtaining a recent mammogram to be evaluated by the radiologist, perhaps, followed by an ultrasound. The ultrasound examination is often helpful in differentiating between the benign lump (with fluid) or the malignant (solid) lump. If the lump appears solid, an aspiration (fine needle aspiration) biopsy, core biopsy or open biopsy should be done.

Home TCM for Common Health Problems Breast Lumps and the "Liver Connection" An Option from Traditional Chinese Medicine Breast lumps or cysts are the most common reason for women to seek medical consultation in the United States. Like every other part of our bodies, our breasts are subject to various types of problems. Breast lumps can occur in women of any age, but are more common in middle age. Although the majority of breast lumps are benign or non-cancerous, women still experience the discomfort of tenderness, pressure or distention within the breast. Conventional medicine provides women with a variety of treatments for breast lumps. Traditional Chinese medicine, which has accumulated abundant experience and knowledge in treating and preventing breast lumps over its long history, is another option for achieving and maintaining healthy breast tissue. Understanding Breast Lumps Breast lumps fall into two categories: benign lumps or cysts, and malignant tumors. Breast lumps are frequently, but not always, associated with the conditions of premenstrual breast distention, infertility, irregular periods, and menopausal syndrome. Breast Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that may develop in the breast. Breast cysts may cause breast pain. The most common conventional medical interventions are to withdraw fluid from the cyst with a needle, or to surgically remove the cyst if necessary.

There are some common causes of lumps: fibroadenomas cysts. Fibroadenomas These lumps are not strictly speaking disease at all but rather a simple overgrowth of the lobules or the leaf of the breast tree. They are most common in women under the age of 30. They move freely within the breast and can be diagnosed by a combination of clinical examination, ultrasound and removing cells by needle aspiration. If a woman has a fibroadenoma, it may not need to be removed. If left alone, at least one in three of these lumps gets smaller or disappears within two years. If she is worried about the lump or it gets bigger, then she can opt to have it removed.

The Breasts Benign Breast Lumps Breast Cancer Risk Factors for Breast Cancer ... Side Effects of Orthodox Treatment The Breasts Each breast has 15 to 20 overlapping sections called lobes. Within each lobe are many smaller lobules, which end in dozens of tiny bulbs that can produce milk. The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are all linked by thin tubes called ducts. These ducts lead to the nipple in the center of a dark area of skin called the areola. Fat fills the spaces around the lobules and ducts. There are no muscles in the breast, but muscles lie under each breast and cover the ribs. Each breast also contains blood vessels and vessels that carry colorless fluid called lymph. The lymph vessels lead to small bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes are found near the breast in the axilla (under the arm), above the collarbone, and in the chest. Lymph nodes are also found in many other parts of the body. TOP Benign Breast Lumps Any noticeable change, thickening or localized swelling in your breast that was not there before may be a lump.

Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement Types of Benign Breast Changes Common benign breast changes fall into several broad categories. These include generalized breast changes, solitary lumps, nipple discharge, and infection and/or inflammation. Generalized Breast Changes Generalized breast lumpiness is known by several names, including fibrocystic disease changes and benign breast disease. Such lumpiness, which is sometimes described as "ropy" or "granular," can often be felt in the area around the nipple and areola and in the upper-outer part of the breast. Such lumpiness may become more obvious as a woman approaches middle age and the milk-producing glandular tissue of her breasts increasingly gives way to soft, fatty tissue. Unless she is taking replacement hormones, this type of lumpiness generally disappears for good after menopause. The menstrual cycle also brings cyclic breast changes. Many women experience swelling, tenderness, and pain before and sometimes during their periods. At the same time, one or more lumps or a feeling of increased lumpiness may develop because of extra fluid collecting in the breast tissue. These lumps normally go away by the end of the period.

Answer from CancerBACUP nurses and cancer specialists January 31, 2001 A. Benign (non-cancerous) breast lumps can be grouped into two main types: those that are filled with fluid (these are called cysts) and those that are solid. There is no evidence that breast cysts increase the risk of cancer developing. This is true even if there is more than one cyst in a breast or if cysts appear in the same breast at different times.

About Us HEALTH CENTERS ALL TOPICS A-Z Allergy Alzheimers Anxiety Disorders ... focusIN Specialty Web Network ADVERTISEMENT Most benign breast changes do not increase a woman's risk for getting cancer. Recent studies show that only certain very specific types of microscopic changes put a woman at higher risk. These changes feature excessive cell growth, or hyperplasia. About 70 percent of the women who have a biopsy showing a benign condition have no evidence of hyperplasia. These women are at no increased risk for breast cancer. About 25 percent of benign breast biopsies show signs of hyperplasia, including conditions such as intraductal papilloma and sclerosing adenosis. Hyperplasia slightly increases the risk of developing breast cancer. The remaining 5 percent of benign breast biopsies reveal both excessive cell growthhyperplasiaand cells that are abnormalatypia. A diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia, as it is called, moderately increases breast cancer risk. Any questions or comments?

Breast Lumps Home Introduction Self esteem and confidence The average breast ... Links Banner exchange The breast is composed of several types of glands, among them those that produce milk. These glands are connected to ducts which lead through the nipple. When a girl reaches puberty, the increase in oestrogen and other hormones in her body cause the ducts to grow and the fat deposits in her breast tissue to increase in volume. From the age of twenty, women should do monthly breast self- examinations. The best time to do this would be about seven or eight days after the monthly period has begun. Those who have passed menopause should do their breast examinations at about the same time. Should a new mass be found in the breast, get medical attention immediately. Lumps found by this method are usually at an early stage, and the chances of full recovery after treatment are greater. Although most lumps are not cancerous, you should still consult your physician if a significant change is detected during your self-examinations.

Over the whole lifetime, a woman can encounter a broad variety of problomatic breast conditions. These include normal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle as well as several types of benign lumps. What they have in common is that they are not cancerous. Even among breast lumps that warrant a biopsy, around 80 percent prove to be benign. These normal features can sometimes make the breasts feel lumpy, especially in women who are thin or who have small breasts. How it is made up of? Each breast has 15 to 20 sections, called lobes, each lobule with many smaller lobules. The lobules end in dozens of tiny bulbs which secrete milk. Thin tubes called ducts link all lobes, lobules and bulbs. These ducts lead to the nipple, which is centered in a dark area of skin called the areola. The spaces between the lobules and ducts are filled with fat. There are no muscles in the breast, but muscles lie under each breast and cover the ribs. What are the causes?
