Breast cancer (Mamma = chest, lat.) is a malignant tumor (tumor) of the mammary gland. many women in western industrialized countries who suffer from this disease. Breast cancer is cancer (in Germany alone approximately 57,000 new cases per year) is the leading cause of death most often occurs in the cases of other cancers. The average age at diagnosis is about 63 years. Men can also suffer from this type of cancer, but it is much more likely to be affected: In just about every case is a hundredth of a patient man.
With increasing levels of illness, death (mortality) will be back in this type of cancer. Over the years could always be improved with better treatment options for those affected. In addition to standard therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, customized procedures can be applied, which can be used in a variety of ways that are targeted to the tumor and possibly against metastasis.
More than 80% of patients survive the first five years after diagnosis. To reduce the death rate in the future, starts early systematically on a national and international. Continue to develop standard internationally recognized guidelines and allows for structured treatment in accordance with the scientific and medical knowledge for all parties.
basic Anatomy
A woman's breasts are above the ribs and upper pectoralis major muscle is composed of fat and connective tissue and mammary gland of the body, which serves to make the lobes (lat. Lobules = cloth) and the gland (lat. Ductules = transition) to also include the upper chest skin , the nipple and areola. Blood and lymph vessels run through the chest, the breast tissue supply with oxygen and nutrients and provide drainage of lymphatic fluid. Lymph nodes (including the armpit) are localized in various regions of the body act as station filter foreign substances, pathogens, etc., but also cancer cells that were intercepted. In addition, chest crossed by nerves.
Where exactly occurs in breast cancer?
For precise localization and classification of breast cancer in the chest by dividing the quadrant (quarter) that allows local orientation. Breast cancer most often occurs in the upper outer quadrant (approximately 55% of cases), in the upper quarter of the breast and chest are rare (approximately 15% of cases) in the nipple area. Only 10% of breast tumors that form in the lower outer quadrant, 5% in the lower quadrant of the chest.
Breast cancer classification according to ICD-10
According to the international classification system for diseases (international classification of diseases, ICD-10) of the WHO from breast cancer in 2006, holds the key to C50. Depending on the location of the breast tumor, according to ICD10 subdivided according to the infestation of the nipple and areola (C50.0), central gland tissue of breast (C50.1), in the upper quadrant of the breast (C50.2) and the lower quadrant of the breast (C50.3 ), the upper outer quadrant (C50.4) and the lower outer quadrant of the breast (C50.5). In addition, with C50.6, C50.8 or C50.9 breast cancer encrypted, axillary recess of the mammary gland (ie lying in the cave Axel extension of the mammary gland) or multiple overlapping regions of the mammary gland or unspecified areas of concern gland milk.
What type of breast cancer are there?
In about 70-80% of breast cancer cases, only in 10-15% of breast cancer cases of invasive lobular carcinoma, (ILC) and only in approximately 2% of the cases that came up was for special shapes, such as tubular invasive, mucinous, medullary, or papillary carcinoma. In addition to the contact mix other types of breast cancer is rare.
Signs and symptoms
In the early stages of breast cancer occur discomfort or pain, so it is important that women realize the possibilities, may initially seem dangerous signs. As with all other tumor types also applies to breast cancer: earlier the diagnosis is made, the greater the possibility of targeted treatment received and the better the prognosis.
Possible signs of breast cancer, which must be addressed in each case by obstetricians, including palpation of solid breast lumps that can not be moved; detection of changes in the size of your nipple or in the movement behavior (eg recovery, inflammation, secretion.) (as in the armpit.); occurrence of skin lesions that can not be described as inflammation, recovery etc. .; detection of swelling in the armpit.
Important to know: Regular self-examination allows a better assessment of the consistency of the corresponding natural breasts, more direct flow detection, deviating from the normal cycle of change-related disorders. Is unusual changes of species have been identified above, you should consult with your obstetrician in each case.
