Among the common tumors, the incidence of breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors. Since 2020, breast cancer has become the largest cancer among women in the world. Do you know who is at high risk of breast cancer? From the past research data, we can see that the high-risk factors mainly include the following situations. Family history of breast cancer or ovarian cancer; early menarche (less than 12 years old) or late menopause (more than 55 years old); no childbearing, late childbearing and no breast-feeding; long-term use of exogenous estrogen; biopsy confirmed atypical hyperplasia of mammary glands; postmenopausal obesity; long-term excessive drinking, etc. Our female friends should learn to check themselves and pay attention to the changes of our breasts. Include a painless mass in the breast area, changes in the breast skin, nipple discharge, changes in the nipple areola, and axillary lymph node enlargement. Breast cancer is currently the highest incidence of breast cancer in women, and everyone hopes to reduce the risk of breast cancer. So what aspects should female friends start to reduce the incidence of breast cancer? First of all, we should advocate childbearing and breastfeeding at the right age; secondly, we should have a healthy lifestyle; and actively treat high-risk breast lesions such as atypical hyperplasia. Monthly breast self-examination, regular breast cancer screening, early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, after the diagnosis of breast cancer, as soon as possible to the regular medical institutions for standardized treatment. So what are the rules for breast cancer screening? For women aged 35-64, breast cancer screening should be done at least every 2-3 years. High-risk groups can appropriately increase the frequency of screening (including breast physical examination, breast color ultrasound examination, if the initial screening results are abnormal, follow-up may also need to accept mammography, breast biopsy and histopathological examination, etc.). Even if it is unfortunate to suffer from breast cancer, the current treatment of breast cancer is very adequate. From the data of the study, we can see that the 5-year survival rate of early breast cancer patients is more than 90%, and the 5-year survival rate of advanced breast cancer patients is about 30%. Through scientific screening, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, breast cancer can be cured, the cost of treatment is lower, and the survival rate and quality of life of patients can be significantly improved.
