Breast Cancer Development
when I was 6 years old when my grandmother had breast cancer and she discovered it in the middle stages, so it was not under control. It really freak me out to remember all the pain she went though. I wanted to know more about her situation at the time but no body was able to tell me anything so, I felt it is my mission to know and read about this type of disease. Did you know that metastatic breast cancer is one of the most aggressive type of breast cancers? Breast cancer has many types some are super aggressive and grow so fast, but the stage of realizing the cancer is really important because earliest stage it can be the easier to treat. The stages of invasive breast cancers are staged I through IV. At the point when cancer reaches IV stage it means breast cancer cells that have spread too far away to the body organs like the bones, lungs, or brain and as we all know these places are very hard to treat. To know more about breast cancer, it has more than three causes, does not have many ways to detect, and does not have many ways to be controlled.
First, I’m going to talk about three main causes for breast cancer. These causes can be connected to genetics which make about 10% of breast cancers, aging, and breast cancer is usually connected with female sex. Referring to Elyse Watkins, “Each year, more than 250,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.” Only women rate is 250,000 which is really high rate.
Second, breast cancer does not have many ways to be detected. The most important step is to detect breast cancer in early stages. Mammography and ultrasonography are used as initial imaging ways. Also, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mostly used in some cases like in patients who have aggressive breast cancer, patients who have high risks of getting breast cancer, and they have history of breast cancer in the family or themselves. The imagining can help in detecting the cancer based on the size and shape. According to Elyse Watkins, “Common imaging findings in invasive, infiltrating breast cancer include an irregularly shaped mass, speculation, pleomorphic micro calcifications, anatomical distortion, axillary lymphadenopathy, and posterior acoustic shadowing.” Speculation is a stellate deformation happened by the cause of mediation of breast cancer into surrounding tissues. pleomorphic and Micro calcifications may be different in the shape and size. Referring to Elyse Watkins, “Women ages 40 to 49 years should have a screening regimen based on the best-available evidence, including the patient’s risk factors, through shared decision-making.” Breast cancer has a few ways to be detected.
Finally, breast cancer has a few ways to be controlled. Breast cancer can be controlled by using chemotherapeutic, surgical, and Sentinel lymph node biopsy that can be used by procedure in which the sentinel lymph node is sweep to know if cancer cells are active. The effective ways for many patients are the surgical options and chemotherapy treatment that should be following the surgery, so the cancer is completely treated. According to Elyse Watkins, “Adjuvant chemotherapy is administered after surgery. Modalities include endocrine blockers, anthracycline- and taxane-based chemotherapy, and monoclonal antibodies, depending upon the histology, HER-2 status, and hormone receptor status of the malignancy.” That help in treating the cancer by anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy types of treatment. Breast cancer has a limited ways to be controlled.
In conclusion, breast cancer has many factors, has more than three causes, does not have many ways to detect, and does not have many ways to be controlled.
The most common factors are genetics, aging, and breast cancer is associated with female sex. MRI, mammography, and ultrasonography can help in detecting breast cancer. Breast cancer can be controlled by treating it using chemotherapeutic, surgry, and Sentinel lymph node biopsy.
