In January this year, a 39-year-old patient felt a lump in his right breast while taking a bath. He didn’t care because it was not painful or itchy, and he had never had a related examination before. It was not until July that the patient found that the lump in the right breast seemed to increase, accompanied by pain, and the right armpit also felt the mass, which caused attention.
Subsequently, the patient came to our hospital to find me. After color Doppler ultrasound, CT and MRI examination, breast cancer was highly suspected, and the clinical stage was stage III. Considering the woman’s condition, I am afraid that the effect of direct surgery is not good. After communicating with the patient, I first performed hollow needle puncture biopsy. After defining the molecular typing, I decided to do preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy first, and then perform surgical treatment and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after the tumor shrinks and clinical stage is reduced. Targeted therapy. At present, the patient’s condition has been basically controlled.
In view of the existence of this patient, I would like to tell the majority of female friends that the cause of breast cancer is not yet fully clear, but studies still found that there is a certain regularity in the morbidity of breast cancer, women with these high-risk factors are more likely to suffer from breast cancer. For example, there is a family history of breast cancer, there are breast cancer patients in relatives, there are estrogen disorders and other factors, and some of them suffer from benign breast diseases without timely diagnosis and treatment.
It should be emphasized that early physical examination, especially for tumors, is very important to early detection early treatment. It is a great pity that my patient’s condition is so serious that he comes to the hospital. Stage III breast cancer has a longer treatment cycle and costs more, and its five-year survival rate is optimistically expected to reach 50-60%. The prognosis is much worse than that of stage I and II breast cancer. Therefore, I suggest that women should do a good job in breast cancer prevention, as follows:
1. Keep a happy mood: High pressure and poor mood are the related factors of breast diseases. Therefore, to prevent diseases, first of all, we should keep a happy mood and avoid long-term depression, anxiety and other negative emotions. 2, wear right underwear to liberate double breast: Underwear size is too small, can oppress bosom, bring about mastitis or mammary gland hyperplasia, increase the sicken odds of breast cancer even. Experts suggest that underwear should not be worn for more than 8 hours a day and cotton underwear should be chosen. 3. Eat a healthy diet: Eating more fruits and vegetables, such as peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, carrots, broccoli and onions, can reduce the risk of breast cancer. More dietary fiber intake is also helpful to help the body eliminate toxins and prevent them from causing harm to the body. Fungi, kelp, nuts, soybean products and other foods are also good for breast health. 4. Maintain good living habits: reduce high-fat and fried diet, and ensure adequate sleep time. Quit smoking and drinking. Studies have shown that women who drink alcoholic beverages three times a week have a 15% increased risk of breast cancer. Drinking alcoholic beverages more than once a day increases the risk of breast cancer by about 10%. 5. Regular physical examination and screening: Experts emphasize that women with early menarche, late menopause, infertility over 35 years old or first birth over 35 years old, family history of breast cancer or history of benign breast cancer belong to high-risk groups, and they should be more alert to breast cancer.
If you have any questions in the daily prevention process, you are welcome to come to the Second People’s Hospital of Yichang to consult me at any time. My sitting time is every Tuesday morning, and the sitting place is on the first floor of the outpatient building of the Tumor Hospital of the Second People’s Hospital of Yichang.
