Breast cancer can be cured and survive for a long time if it can be treated actively and regularly. Standardized treatment requires a combination of surgery, neoadjuvant, endocrine, targeted and other methods. It needs to be clearly classified before treatment, and most patients can be cured. But outpatient clinics often encounter patients who delay treatment in the early stage, so what is the reason?
1. Female friends do not know enough about medical science, do not know the clinical characteristics of breast cancer, and lack vigilance against this disease in daily life.
2. Early breast cancer is mostly painless tumors, which can not affect life or work without any discomfort.
3. A small number of women are bound by old ideas, conservative thinking, shy of physical examination, and unwilling to go to the hospital for breast examination.
4. In order to save trouble and convenience for a while, they listen to the irregular treatment of some people, or are too superstitious about the diagnosis of a certain instrument, so they relax their vigilance and stop further examination.
5. Some people have read some books about cancer or are influenced by people around them. They are afraid of cancer. They are afraid of breast cancer and dare not go to the hospital for examination. They do not know that they are trapped in a misunderstanding. Whether they suffer from breast cancer or not does not depend on whether they go to the hospital or not. To see a doctor can rule out breast cancer, relieve psychological pressure, once diagnosed with breast cancer, but also early detection, timely treatment.
6. Fast pace of life, busy work, the emergence of new problems, busy dealing with, ignoring their own health, even if there is discomfort, there is no time to go to the hospital, just deal with it. These wrong practices have caused many breast cancer patients to delay the opportunity of early diagnosis.
If what phenomena occur, we should be alert to the occurrence of breast cancer?
1. Breast mass
Breast lumps are the most common manifestation, and 90% of breast cancer patients are found to have breast lumps. The mass is hard with irregular margin, poor activity and surface.
2. Local skin changes
Breast tumors invade the skin of the breast and the Cooper ligament of the deep pectoral fascia, and the skin of the breast will appear a small depression, like a dimple. When cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels, the skin of the breast will appear many small punctate depressions, like orange peel.
3. Abnormal
nipple and areola
When breast tumors invade the nipple or subareolar area, the fibrous tissue and large ducts in the breast are shortened due to invasion, causing nipple retraction or elevation. Nipple erosion is also an important sign of breast cancer.
Nipple discharge
Blood, serous fluid, milk, and pus from the nipple of
a non-lactating woman. It may be caused by intraductal papilloma, breast hyperplasia, mammary duct ectasia or breast cancer, and should be noted.
5. Pain
Relatively rare, a small number of patients will have dull pain or tingling.
When the above symptoms occur, we must go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the occurrence of breast cancer.
