Breast cancer treatment
1. Surgical treatment
Surgery is one of the main treatments for breast cancer, especially for those whose lesions are still limited to local or regional lymph nodes. The commonly used surgical methods include radical mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, extended radical mastectomy, breast-conserving radical mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, breast reconstruction and so on.
2. Chemotherapy
Breast cancer is one of the most effective solid tumors for chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is divided into single drug chemotherapy and combined drug chemotherapy, which can significantly improve the efficacy.
3. Radiotherapy
For locally advanced breast cancer without surgical indications, radiotherapy can achieve better local control and improve survival rate than other methods.
4. Medication
According to the different mechanism of action of drugs, drug therapy can be divided into chemotherapy, endocrine therapy (corticosteroid therapy) and targeted therapy. Hormonal treatments, such as Tamoxifen and Aromatase inhibitors, can be used for breast cancer prevention in high-risk women. Other drugs such as Metformin and Aspirin may be associated with a lower risk of breast cancer.
