You probably already know what is breast cancer and it how appears. If you don't know i will put down some links , because here i don't write about breast cancer but about treatments and other stuffs like how to beat cancer, how to eat during chemotherapy and types of mastectomy .
Cancer treatment often involves a broad approach, multidisciplinary, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, cancer surgery, each having well-established role in the type of cancer, stage of the patient and associated diseases.
Each method presented have his role and well-established protocols organismes in the profile ensuring coordinated action for the best results in cancer treatment.
Cancer treatment methods are:
- Curative (healing can only lead to their taking isolated)
- adjuvant or neoadjuvant (part of a multidisciplinary protocol that aims healing)
- palliative (targeting control of symptoms or prolongation of life and a higher quality of life).
Chemotherapy: a method of cancer treatment, the antitumor substances involved are distributed throughout the entire organism preventing replication targeting tumor cells in any compartment of the body.There are many chemotherapeutic agents, each with specific indications for use depending on the type and stage of disease.
External radiation therapy: is a local method of treatment of cancer with antitumor effect only segment that is given.Use different types of radiation (alpha, beta, epsilon, etc..), the interaction between particles generated by the device radiotherapy (photons, electrons, protons, ions) and tumor cells resulting in fatal injuries to the tumor cells, which will lead to their destruction.
Radiation therapy uses modern tehniques of 3D-dimensional contouring CRT, IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, SRS and SRT (stereotactic and radiosurgery), with which you can treat cancers throughout the entire body.
Surgical Oncology: is to physically remove the tumor tissue, when it is available for surgical approach.It must comply specific indications and protocols execution to ensure removal of tumor tissue, in oncological safety limits, preserving functionality as much as possible of the affected organ.
Brachytherapy: is a revolutionary new form of treatment that temporarily affected tissue exhibits large amounts of radiation.Rays effect is felt only on a very limited region.The load-ray is strongly reduced for healthy tissue that are away from the source of rays.Brachytherapy is recommended for lung cancer,prostate cancer, breast cancer, ENT tumors, cancer of the esophagus, etc.
Treatment is conditioned by the clinical presentation of the disease and can be combined with other forms of treatment: surgery, external radiation or chemotherapy.
Stereotaxia (radiosurgery) is a non-invasive treatment used only for small tumors that delivers a single high concentration of radiation dose, while avoiding healthy tissue. There are 2 types of treatment between which to choose: a single beam irradiation or fractionated irradiation. Fractionated treatment may reduce side effects, so that the total dose of radiation dose to be divided into smaller installments over several days.Normally the number of sessions from external radiation is almost 6 times smaller.Despite its name, there are no incisions and is not considered a surgical procedure.
5 premonitory signs of breast cancer
What are the main causes and risk factors for breast cancer?
BREAST CANCER is influenced by a number of risk factors:
- genetic / hereditary: it seems that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in the women with a family, especially arpopiat degree relatives - mother, grandmother - of breast cancer. The genetic studies have revealed the existence of genes that predispose women to breast cancer.
- trauma of the breast;
- Repeat biopsies;
- Radiotherapy and breast irradiation;
- diet high in fat and low in fruits and vegetables;
