yes
Breast cancer has different stages, as does any other cancer. Initially you'll start with a sign - usually a small lump that instantly needs to be tested. Cancer in the breast however can quickly spread to lymph nodes, which means you need to act fast. Almost anyone is eligible for surgery, although there are risks involved with age. There are also different options - chemotherapy, surgery to remove the growth / entire breast if it is too far gone (although you do not need to worry if you feel that you will not be the same, there are reconstruction surgery's available to you as well, along with specialised bras if you are of female nature).
No; breast cancer results from a tumor with mutant DNA growing in breast tissue. This has nothing to do with wearing tight clothes.
Yes, if that person had family members before them who had breast cancer such as mother, grandmother, etc, then they are at a higher risk to get it too.
Totally false.
Yes, breast cancer is possible for men, although it is much less common than in women. Male breast cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the breast tissue of a man. While breast cancer is often associated with women, men also have a small amount of breast tissue, which means they can develop breast cancer too. The symptoms of breast cancer in men are similar to those in women and can include: A lump or swelling in the breast or under the arm. Nipple discharge, which may be bloody. Changes in the size or shape of the breast. Skin dimpling or puckering. Redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin. Men with a family history of breast cancer or who have inherited gene mutations such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 are at higher risk. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging tests (like mammograms or ultrasounds), and biopsy for confirmation. Treatment for male breast cancer often involves surgery to remove the tumor and possibly lymph nodes, followed by radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy depending on the stage and characteristics of the cancer. Early detection and prompt treatment can improve outcomes for men with breast cancer.
No. The damage types that trigger cancers are far too small to be caused by physical damage such as pinching.
It means your breasts are too big for your body. Talk to your doctor about having plastic surgery for breast reduction.
The breast cancer survival rate varies greatly on the patient and their response to treatment. Breast cancer survival rates for early detection are 100%. Stage 2 breast cancer has a survival rate of 93 percent, the stage 3 survival rate is 72 percent, and the stage 4 survival rate is 22 percent.
Skin cancer is one of the worst types of cancer. Actually, all cancer is bad. Skin cancer can be caused by not wearing sunblock. Don't get skin cancer too late, because it will be too late for you.
Primary lymphedema is an inherited condition, where the patient is born without lymph vessels and nodes. The swelling associated with primary lymphedema usually occurs during adolescence and affects the foot or calf.
Breast cancer is a disease that affects millions of women each year. Many survive the disease and subsequent treatment but others are too late in being diagnosed and are not fortunate enough to receive a good prognosis when dealing with their breast cancer. This disease is a tricky one because it often does not have any symptoms. Women look for signs of breast cancer on a regular basis, but many women experience no symptoms at all. Those that do experience symptoms may have a better chance of being diagnosed earlier, which means a better chance of survival. Even when you have a lump in your breast, which is the most telling sign that you are facing breast cancer, it may be too small for you to feel during a routine self breast exam. When a lump is noticeable in the breast, one that is rough, jagged around the edges and hard to touch is likely cancer. However, even if you notice a soft, rounded lump it is not necessarily benign; some women have felt this type of lump only to be diagnosed as breast cancer by a doctor. Anytime you notice any sort of lump in your breast you should have your doctor check you for cancer. The American Cancer Society encourages women to be on the lookout for symptoms such as swelling in any portion of the breast, dimpling or irritation of the skin on the breast, pain in the breast and/or a lump in the area under the arm. Each of these symptoms is indicative of breast cancer and should be followed up on with a doctor immediately. In addition, there are several ways your nipples will let you know if you are suffering from breast cancer. Should your nipples begin turning inward or become painful, turn red or scaly or begin to thicken or if they are excreting anything other than breast milk you should have your breasts checked by your doctor immediately. The earlier breast cancer is caught, the better. Early stage breast cancer is easier to treat than cancer in a later stage, which means your chance of surviving breast cancer is far greater.
It may not be immediately obvious and that is what makes it so dangerous. When something does happen like squamous cell carcinoma, a skin cancer, it is too late to do anything except for surgery.
