Low Cost Breast Cancer Treatment and Surgery in India

The term breast cancer refers to a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast. The breast is composed of two main types of tissues: glandular tissues and stromal (supporting) tissues. Glandular tissues house the milk-producing glands (lobules) and the ducts (the milk passages) while stromal tissues include fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast. The breast is also made up of lymphatic tissue-immune system tissue that removes cellular fluids and waste.


Breast Cancer Risk factors

A risk factor is anything that makes it more likely you’ll get a particular disease. Some risk factors, such as your age, sex and family history, can’t be changed, whereas others, including weight, smoking and a poor diet, are under your control.

Other factors that may make you more susceptible to breast cancer include:

1. Age: Your chances of developing breast cancer increase with age. Close to 80 percent of breast cancers occur in women older than age 50. In your 30s, you have a one in 233 chance of developing breast cancer. By age 85, your chance is one in eight.

2. A personal history of breast cancer : If you’ve had breast cancer in one breast, you have an increased risk of developing cancer in the other breast.

3. Family history: If you have a mother, sister or daughter with breast or ovarian cancer or both, or a male relative with breast cancer, you have a greater chance of also developing breast cancer Symptoms of Breast Cancer Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain.

In fact, when it first develops, breast cancer may cause no symptoms at all.
 
But as the cancer grows, it can cause these changes:

1. A lump or thickening in the breast or armpit.

2. A change in the size or shape of the breast.

3. Discharge from the nipple.

4. A change in the color or texture of the skin of the breast or areola (such as dimpling, puckering, or scaliness).

Doctor determines your breast cancer treatment options based on your type of breast cancer, its stage, whether the cancer cells are sensitive to hormones, your overall health and your own preferences.

Warning Signs of Breast Cancer - Best Cancer Hospitals of India for Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment

Due to the increased use of mammography, most women in the United States are diagnosed at an early stage of breast cancer, before symptoms appear. However, not all breast cancers are found through mammography.

The warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women. The most common symptoms are a change in the look or feel of the breast, a change in the look or feel of the nipple and nipple discharge.
In most cases, these changes are not cancer. For example, breast pain is more common with benign (not cancer) breast conditions than with breast cancer. However, the only way to know for sure is to see your provider. If breast cancer is present, it is best to find it at an early stage, when the chances of survival are highest.  


Many women may find that their breasts feel lumpy. Breast tissue naturally has a bumpy texture. For some women, the lumpiness is more pronounced than for others. In most cases, this lumpiness is no cause to worry.  

If the lumpiness can be felt throughout the breast and feels like your other breast, then it is probably normal breast tissue.  
Lumps that feel harder or different from the rest of the breast (or the other breast) or that feel like a change are a concern and should be checked. When this type of lump is found, it may be a sign of breast cancer or a benign breast condition (such as a cyst or fibroadenoma).
See your health care provider if you:
  • Find a new lump or any change that feels different from the rest of your breast.
  • Find a new lump or any change that feels different from your other breast.
  • Feel something that is different from what you felt before.
If you are unsure whether you should have a lump checked, it is best to see your provider. Although a lump may be nothing to worry about, you will have the peace of mind that it has been checked.  

Nipple discharge
Liquid leaking from your nipple (nipple discharge) can be troubling, but it is rarely a sign of cancer. Discharge can be your body's natural reaction when the nipple is squeezed.  
Signs of a more serious condition, such as breast cancer, include discharge that:
  • Occurs without squeezing the nipple
  • Occurs in only one breast
  • Is bloody or clear (not milky)
Nipple discharge can also be caused by an infection or other condition that needs medical treatment. For these reasons, if you have any nipple discharge, see your health care provider.  

What are benign breast conditions?

The term benign breast conditions (also known as benign breast diseases) describes many noncancerous disorders that can affect the breast. Your health care provider may also use the term fibrocystic change to describe a range of benign breast conditions.
Some benign breast conditions can cause discomfort or pain and need treatment. Others do not need medical treatment. Many benign breast conditions mimic the symptoms of cancer and need tests (and sometimes a biopsy) for diagnosis. Though the thought of breast cancer is scary , most biopsies find a benign breast condition, not cancer.  Benign breast conditions can occur in both women and men.

Types of benign breast conditions
There are many benign breast conditions. Some of the more common conditions include:
These conditions differ from each other in how the cells look under a microscope. For example, hyperplasia cells look different from fibroadenoma cells. If you are diagnosed with a benign breast condition (or are told you have a fibrocystic change), it is important to find out which type you have.
