The survival rates of breast cancer is affected by many factors, including the molecular subtype of the tumor, clinical stage, patient age and overall health status. Early breast cancer, especially carcinoma in situ, can reach a high level of survival rates after surgical resection of the tumor. However, other types of breast cancer may require comprehensive treatment options, including but not limited to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy or targeted therapy.
Early diagnosis of breast cancer is essential to improve survival rates. Early detection of signs of breast cancer can be facilitated by regular breast imaging, such as breast ultrasound and mammography. After diagnosis, according to the stage, size, location of the tumor and the patient’s physical condition, an individualized treatment plan is formulated.
In the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are often used to eliminate possible residual cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. Endocrine therapy inhibits the growth of cancer cells by regulating hormone levels in the body. Targeted therapy aims at specific molecular targets to achieve precise attack on cancer cells.
Rehabilitation and follow-up care for breast cancer patients are equally important. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, can help physical rehabilitation and improve the quality of life. Psychological support and social support are also an integral part of breast cancer treatment, helping patients cope with the psychological stress and challenges brought about by the disease.
In recent years, the treatment and technology of breast cancer have been improved. The rise of immunotherapy has provided breast cancer patients with new treatment options by activating the patient’s own immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. The emphasis on gene detection and individualized treatment makes the treatment plan more accurate, improves the therapeutic effect and reduces the side effects.
In terms of breast cancer prevention, researchers are working to find more effective preventive measure. By understanding the morbidity mechanism and risk factors of breast cancer, scientists are looking for new prevention strategies, such as improving lifestyle, adjusting diet structure, and increasing physical exercise, to reduce the incidence of breast cancer.
In summary, the treatment and prevention of breast cancer is a growing field. With the progress of science and technology and the improvement of medical level, there will be more effective treatment methods in the future, which will bring better treatment effect and quality of life for breast cancer patients. At the same time, strengthening the awareness and understanding of breast cancer, improving self-care awareness, and actively preventing and treating breast cancer are important directions for current and future research.
