How to treat breast cancer?

Stages of breast cancer

Like all types of cancer, breast cancer has 4 stages:

1. The tumor is located only in the mammary gland and its size is up to 3 cm in diameter, without metastases
2. The tumor gave or did not give metastases to the regional lymph nodes and increased in diameter
3. The tumor metastasized to several groups of lymph nodes
4. Metastases are detected in other organs.

It is from these stages and the location of the tumor in the mammary gland that treatment will depend

Breast cancer metastases

Breast cancer metastases spread throughout the body with blood and lymph, the nearest lymph nodes - axillary and supraclavicular - are the first to be affected. You can palpate these metastases at home, they look like dense balls that are little displaced when moving.

When metastases enter and develop in organs such as the lungs of the liver or bones, we are already talking about 4 stages of the disease. Here, all the forces of treatment are directed to extend the patient's life and improve the quality of this life.

Treatment for thrice-negative breast cancer

Thrice negative breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer. It is distinguished by the fact that its cells are in no way dependent on the hormones of the woman’s body and this makes it more similar to cancers of other organs. It is characterized by a faster course and a more aggressive course, in contrast to hormone-dependent types of breast cancer. Also, for his treatment, without half-sitting, use hormone therapy and anti-HER2 drugs, since they simply will not act on him.

Breast Cancer after Treatment

Depending on the type of breast cancer, the stage at which the cancer was diagnosed and the intensity of treatment, the quality of life after surgery and treatment will be different.

If the cancer was diagnosed in stage 1, it is possible that the breast is not completely removed, (organ-preserving surgery), and additionally a course of chemotherapy or hormone therapy.
After this treatment, the size of the affected breast will decrease, but can be restored using plastic surgery.

Stage 2 and 3 almost always involve the complete removal of the mammary gland in combination with numerous courses of chemo, radio and hormone therapy.

After such treatment, breasts are much more difficult to recover with implants and a very high level plastic surgeon is required.

Breast cancer without treatment

Without treatment, breast cancer is gradually moving from one stage to the next, aggravating every day. Symptoms overlap and the quality of life is significantly reduced. Already at stage 3, very large problems with general well-being begin:

Here are the main symptoms of stage 3 breast cancer
⁃ fatigue
⁃ Pain
⁃ Enlarged lymph nodes
⁃ An increase in one of the mammary glands
⁃ Secretion secretion from the nipple
⁃ Diarrhea, vomiting, general intoxication

If the disease reaches stage 4, there is the possibility of the onset of tissue decay in the center of the tumor, as the vessels simply cannot provide blood to the rapidly developing tumor.

This manifests itself as an ulcer appearing on the skin and gradually increasing, causing very severe pain

Surgical or hormonal treatment for breast cancer

What treatment of breast cancer can be chosen only by the attending oncologist. Different types of tumors react differently to treatment. For one type, chemotherapy will be deadly and for the other it will have almost no effect, so it is very important to prescribe the right treatment based on biopsy and histology data.

To prevent the occurrence of this type of cancer, women should be examined every six months or at least once a year. Mammography and ultrasound can determine the disease in its earliest stages.
