The journey of breast cancer.
Breast cancer, like an unread novel in life, is full of unknown surprises and challenges. However, all we have to do today is unmask the cover of this novel and read every page of it.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that occurs in the breast, like an unwanted seed that takes root where it should not. To understand it, we need to see what it likes about the environment.
High-risk factor resolution
– Genetic factors: Many breast cancer patients have family history. In particular, the risk is greater if families have relatives with early breast cancer.
Lifestyle: Unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, etc. increase the risk of breast cancer. Imagine, our bodies are like a sophisticated car, and it’s important to keep “fuel” and “maintenance.”
– Hormonal levels: The long-term use of hormone substitution therapy and contraceptives may increase the risk of breast cancer. In addition, women with early or late menstruation are at higher risk.
Early signs of breast cancer
Early detection of breast cancer is easier to repair than early detection of a car engine. Let’s learn about those potential alarms:
– No pain-free swelling found under breasts or arms: This is the most common symptom, and it is important that it be taken into account, whether it is life or pain.
– Changes in breast shape or size: sudden transformations may be signs of breast cancer.
– Skin change: breast skin is dented, red or orange.
– Breast abnormalities: larvae, spills, especially blood-borne liquids, require special attention.
The importance of self-censorship
A week after menstruation is a good time for self-censorship. Standing in front of a mirror, their hands naturally fall down, watching the shape and colour of the breasts, and then touching the breasts and armpits with their fingers, looking for abnormal hard blocks and changes.
Breast cancer detection
In case of anomalies, timely medical treatment is important. The following are common tests:
– Breast ultrasound: first choice for young women, pain-free and radiation-free.
– Molybdenum target X-rays: The target is to find out what the fine changes are, called “Telescopes”.
MRI is a very sensitive inspection tool for high-risk populations.
Different treatment options.
The treatment of breast cancer is a tool for combating weeds, and the choice of the right talent is more than effective.
– Surgical treatment: elimination of tumours or breast tissue to prevent further spread of cancer cells.
– chemotherapy: use of drugs to attack cancer cells, full-body treatment, very effective.
– Treatment: high-energy radiation directly targets cancer cells while protecting the surrounding health tissue.
– Endocrine treatment: to reduce the level of hormonal hormones in the body for hormonal receptor-positive breast cancer, thus inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
– Targeting treatment: the front-line “weapons” of modern medicine, which precisely strikes cancer cells, with relatively small side effects.
Lifestyle responses and prevention
Prevention is better than cure. Healthy diets, high fibres, low fats, more fruit and vegetables, more exercise and appropriate weight are good for breast cancer prevention. An annual breast examination is also necessary.
At the same time, good psychological state and social support are also important. Active mentalities and the support of family and friends can help patients better respond to the challenges posed by breast cancer.
With that knowledge, we’ll find that breast cancer is not as terrible as it looks. It is only a challenge in life, and what we can do is to face it with courage, actively prevent, maintain healthy habits of life, and put the good future in our hands.
