About breast cancer
Breast cancer is a type of cancer where the cells of the breast begin to grow abnormally or uncontrollably. Usually there are 2 types of breast cancer, one which originates in the milk ducts and other which originates in the lobules. These cells can travel to other parts of your body through blood vessels and lymph vessels and when that happens, it is called metastatic (spread of cancer cells to new areas of the body
The surgery can take upto 2-3 hours. The treatment consists of Chemotherapy, hormone therapy, surgery and radiation. The type of surgery that can be done is based on a few aspects like- the size of the cancer, the size of the breasts and where is the cancer located in the breast.
Symptoms/ How to detect breast cancer
A breast lump is just one of the symptoms how you can detect breast cancer. There are a few other signs that you should look out for like-
● Nipple discharge
● Breast dimpling
● Redness or pain or swelling
● Nipple retraction
● Inverted nipple
● Sudden change in size
● Changes in the skin texture (Scaly skin around the nipple)
If you face the above abnormalities in your breasts for more than 3-5 weeks, it is recommended that you see your doctor right away. Screening for breast cancer (mammogram) can help detect this condition in its earliest and most treatable stage.
Types of breast cancer surgeries
There are 2 major types of breast cancer surgeries performed-
- Mastectomy - Mastectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both of the breasts to treat cancer. The procedure generally takes about 2-3 hours. It is followed by breast reconstruction which is a surgery to reshape the breasts.
- Lumpectomy- Lumpectomy is a surgical procedure to remove cancer bearing tissue from the breasts as opposed to mastectomy where the whole breast is removed. It is also called breast conserving surgery. Takes about 20-50 mins.
