She may also begin to become aware of the many medical threats her body can face throughout her lifetime. Breast cancer is a devastating and often fatal affliction that largely affects women. It is also the second most common cancer in females. Though it mainly occurs in older women, it is never too early for a girl to be aware of the cancer, its appearance and its preventions. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Self Examination</h2> <ul> <p>Most gynecologists recommend a girl begin self breast examinations as soon as she has breasts to examine. Although cancer is rare in a teen, it is good for a girl to become familiar with how her breast feels when it is healthy. Pressing the breast in a circular motion once a month is usually enough for a teen breast self exam. However, a teen should be aware that as she grows, her breast and its feel may change with her and that a certain amount of soft lumpiness is normal.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Normal Lumps</h2> <ul> <p>A teen's breast tissue often has a more lumpy feel than that of an older woman, and these lumps do not usually indicate breast cancer. They are simply due to all the physical changes during breast growth. Harmless, non-cancerous lumps can sometimes appear around the time of a girl's period. YoungWomensHealth.org recommends that if a teen notices a lump in her breast, to check to see if it is still there a few days after her period. If it is, contact a physician immediately.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Things to Avoid</h2> <ul> <p>A teen girl has a distinct advantage in preventing her own breast cancer since she has a lifetime of healthy options still to choose. Some of the things believed to increase the incidence of breast cancer can be easily avoided. These include avoiding lifestyle choices that lead to obesity and high alcohol consumption. If possible, it is wise to also avoid hormone replacement therapy and prolonged exposure to radiation.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Things To Do</h2> <ul> <p>Contrarily, there are some behaviors and procedures that are believed to fight breast cancer. Most of these are medical procedures, conditions or medications. One of these factors appears to be teen pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnancy decreases estrogen, which is linked to reducing breast cancer. Studies show that cancer levels are lowest in women who have their first pregnancy before the age of 20. However, pregnancy is not a recommended cancer-deterrent for teen girls. What is recommended is exercise, with research showing that women exercising four or more hours a week have lower cancer rates.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Myths</h2> <ul> <p>There are many myths about what can increase your likelihood of breast cancer, and teen girls are often victims of such misinformation. The following things have NOT been shown to have any effect on whether a woman gets breast cancer. Abortions, oral contraceptives, particular diets (as long as they don't result in obesity) and environment. Even smoking has not actually been shown to increase breast cancer occurrence, although it is a contributor to many other types of cancer.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.totstoteensmagazine.com/2011/12/20/former-miss-venezuela-loses-her-battle-to-breast-cancer/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4971820799362103&pid=1.7&w=132&h=177&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong>: MedlinePlus - National Library of Medicine ...</h3><cite>www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/<strong>breastcancer</strong>.html</cite><p><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> affects one in eight women during their lives. <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> kills more women in the United States than any <strong>cancer</strong> except lung <strong>cancer</strong>.

However, there are many therapies available that can treat the disease effectively and allow a person to live a long and happy life. What follows is a breakdown of some of these breast cancer treatments and what you can expect from them. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Surgery</h2> <ul> <p>Surgery is often the first line of treatment for breast cancer. There are different surgeries performed depending on the stage of the cancer and other individual patient factors. A lumpectomy involves removing only the tumor and some of the tissue that surrounds it. A mastectomy involves removing the entire breast--though the muscles are usually not removed anymore. In some cases, the lymph nodes are removed. Likewise, some women opt to have a prophylactic mastectomy to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer. Reconstructive surgery is also often performed in conjunction with these surgeries to help restore a natural look to the breast.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Radiation</h2> <ul> <p>Radiation is also used to treat breast cancer. Radiation is frequently used after initial surgery. Two main types are often used. The first type is external beam radiation, which involves high-energy beams being targeted at the affected area from the outside of the body. Internal radiation, on the other hand, involves inserting a radiating material in the the body at the site of an excised tumor to kill any residual cancer cells.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Chemotherapy</h2> <ul> <p>Chemotherapy is often used before or after breast cancer surgery to reduce the size of a tumor and to kill off any remaining cancer cells. It may involve the administration of one or several drugs either intravenously or orally. You may require several cycles of chemotherapy in order to remove all the cancer cells and to prevent the cancer from coming back.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Hormonal Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>Hormonal therapy is being used more frequently in the treatment of breast cancer. It works by reducing the level of estrogen in the body or blocking estrogen receptors. This sort of treatment only works in breast cancers that have tested positive for hormone receptors. It is administered orally. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the ovaries to shut down estrogen production. If the cancer is not sensitive to hormones, this form of treatment will not work.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.buddytv.com/alison-sweeney/photos/fashion-show-for-susan-g-komen-for-the-cure-in-aid-of-breast-cancer-runway-77003.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4882622943726026&pid=1.7&w=123&h=177&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Prevention, <strong>Treatment</strong> and Survival</h3><cite><strong>breastcancer</strong>.about.com</cite><p>Welcome to <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> information!

Breast cancer can originate in the glands or ducts of the breast (adrenocarcinoma) or in the breast tissue (sarcoma). By the time breast cancer has reached stage IIIB, it has generally spread from the breast into either the lymph nodes or the chest wall. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Staging</h2> <ul> <p>Breast cancer is staged using the standard cancer staging system created by the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The AJCC system, or the TNM system as it is sometimes called, uses three factors to stage breast cancer. The "T" factor relates to the size of the tumor. The "N" factor relates to lymph node involvement. The "M" factor relates to whether the cancer is metastatic. If the cancer has metastasized or spread to other parts of the body distant from the breast, the M number is 1, and the T and N numbers don't matter. Staging is done using medical tests, including PET scans, CT scans and MRIs to determine the size of the tumor and the extent of cancer cells present in the body.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Stage IIIB</h2> <ul> <p>According to the American Cancer Society, stage IIIB breast cancer is characterized by a T number of 4, an N number between 0 and 2 and an M number of 0. This means that the size of the tumor doesn't matter because the cancer has already spread to the skin in the breast or to the chest wall. There may be cancer in the lymph nodes near the breast bone, or there may be clumps of cancer in the lymph nodes under the arm (the axillary lymph nodes), or there may be cancer sticking to other structures in the body.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Inflammatory Breast Cancer</h2> <ul> <p>Inflammatory breast cancer is always considered stage IIIB upon diagnosis, unless it has metastasized and reached stage IV. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare form of breast cancer, which presents in only 1 to 3 percent of all breast cancer cases. It is distinct from regular cancer in that there is typically no lump identified. The skin of the breast may appear red or puckered or resemble the skin of an orange. Inflammatory breast cancer is often misdiagnosed as a breast infection and is a much more aggressive form of breast cancer than other forms of breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment</h2> <ul> <p>Stage IIIB breast cancer is usually treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This means chemotherapy is administered prior to surgery to remove the cancer. This is the treatment method of choice because the cancer is generally too advanced to be removed by surgery. Chemotherapy is designed to shrink the tumor and reduce the presence of cancer cells so that the cancer is small enough that it can be successfully eliminated by surgery.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Prognosis</h2> <ul> <p>The prognosis for cancer is determined according to five-year survival rates. According to the American Cancer Society, 57 percent percent of patients diagnosed with stage IIIB breast cancer are alive five years after diagnosis. Therefore, there is a 57 percent survival rate for those with stage IIIB breast cancer.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.tonguechic.com/beauty/thinking-beyond-pink-breast-cancer-awareness/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.5021848607721511&pid=1.7&w=227&h=188&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Topic: <strong>Stage</strong> IV - real-world <strong>prognosis</strong> ?</h3><cite>community.<strong>breastcancer</strong>.org/forum/8/topic/787168?page=1</cite><p>Email to a friend.

Certain risk factors, such as being overweight or consuming alcohol, can be changed. Other breast cancer risk factors are inevitable or irreversible, however. One such example is age, which plays a significant role in a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">The Facts</h2> <ul> <p>The risk of breast cancer increases with age. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 80 percent of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are over the age of 50. Many women with breast cancer tend to be over 60. Breast cancer also becomes harder to treat among older women. The American Cancer Society reports that two out of three breast cancer cases in woman over age 55 are invasive, compared to one in eight among women under age 40.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Other Age-Related Factors</h2> <ul> <p>The age a woman is when she reaches menstruation and menopause or has a baby can affect her risk of developing breast cancer. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, women who begin menstruating before age 12 and start menopause after 55 are at an increased risk. Having a baby before the age of 20 decreases the risk of breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Considerations</h2> <ul> <p>Although age plays a prominent role in the development of breast cancer, it is important to keep in mind that a woman can be diagnosed at any age. There are young women who become diagnosed with breast cancer. Age is not the only risk factor of breast cancer. Women with a family history of breast cancer, especially if the cancer was diagnosed under the age of 40, are at an increased risk.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Prevention</h2> <ul> <p>Women who are older may be at a greater risk of other risk factors of breast cancer. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, obese women who have gone through menopause without using hormone therapy are more likely to experience breast cancer. Exercising for more than four hours per week and following a healthy diet can help decrease a woman's chances of developing breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Detection</h2> <ul> <p>According to the American Cancer Society, women should begin having yearly mammograms at age 40. Women who have a family history of breast cancer are generally recommended to begin having mammograms in their early to mid-30s, however. In some cases, they may even begin in their late 20s. Early screening is especially important if the women in their family were diagnosed before they were 40 years old. Women in their 20s and 30s should have yearly clinical breast exams.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.pubsub.com/Hes-a-Big-Sky-big-shot-Hornet-riding-win-streak-Womens-doubles-cjB3XKfYRazS" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4849981208921440&pid=1.7&w=159&h=130&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Before <strong>Age</strong> 40 Years - National Center for ...</h3><cite>www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Journal List NIHPA Author Manuscripts</cite><p>Approximately 7% of women with <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> are diagnosed before the <strong>age</strong> of 40 years, and this disease accounts for more than 40% of all <strong>cancer</strong> in women in this <strong>age</strong> ...</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/44432020/Arizona-Oral-Cancer-Age-Adjusted-Incidence-Rate-1995-to-2000-by" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4608157370288602&pid=1.7&w=113&h=164&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Susan G.

Determining the stage of breast cancer helps healthcare professionals provide patients with the most effective treatment options. For instance, stage II breast cancer treatments will differ from patients who are diagnosed with a level III or IV. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Defining Stage II Breast Cancer</h2> <ul> <p>According to BreastCancer.org, stage II breast cancer is divided into two subcategories known as IIA and IIB:</p> <p>There are three different scenarios that are considered stage IIA breast cancer:</p> <p>1.An invasive breast cancer in which cancer cells are identified in the lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes), but there is not an actual tumor in the breast.<br /> 2.A tumor in the breast that is smaller than two centimeters, but has already spread to the axillary lymph nodes.<br /> 3.A tumor that is between two and five centimeters wide that has not yet spread to the axillary lymph nodes.</p> <p>Stage IIB breast cancer is used to describe either:</p> <p>1.A tumor that is between two and five centimeters and has made its way to the axillary lymph nodes.<br /> 2.A tumor that has not yet spread to the axillary lymph nodes, but is at least five centimeters wide.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Stage II Breast Cancer Treatment Options</h2> <ul> <p>Women with stage II breast cancer will most likely undergo surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Because no two women are the same, however, every case of breast cancer, even those falling into the same stage, will differ. Thus, there is not one specific treatment designed for patients with stage II breast cancer.</p> <p>In most cases, according to WebMD, a combination of treatments will likely be used to battle stage II breast cancer. Following are the most common treatment options.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Surgery</h2> <ul> <p>According to WebMD, because the cancer in stage II tends to be contained to the breast and, in the worst cases, its nearby lymph nodes, most women with this type of breast cancer will undergo surgery. Depending on the size of the tumor, there are two types of surgery used to treat stage II breast cancer:</p> <p>1.Lumpectomy: A breast-conserving procedure in which the tumor and some of the surrounding breast tissue is removed without misshaping the breast.</p> <p>2.Mastectomy: Historically, when a mastectomy was performed the entire breast was removed. Today, there are other types of mastectomy designed to be less invasive. The type of mastectomy will depend on the size of the tumor and other factors such as the patient's age, overall health and menopause status.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Radiation Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>Most lumpectomies are performed in conjunction with radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells that survive surgery. In some cases, radiation will also be administered to patients following a mastectomy.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Chemotherapy</h2> <ul> <p>Chemotherapy describes treatment with cancer fighting drugs. In most cases, women with stage II breast cancer will be treated with chemotherapy in combination with surgery and radiation. The drugs are designed to kill any undetected cancer cells that may have spread to other areas of the body. Chemotherapy may also be used to shrink a tumor before surgery.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Hormone Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>Hormone therapy is designed to prevent the body from producing naturally occurring estrogen in women whose tumors contain estrogen receptors (ER-positive). This type of cancer feeds on the body's natural production of estrogen. Doctors will likely prescribe oral pills that will block the body from producing estrogen.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Biological Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>According to WebMD, one of the newest treatments for stage II breast cancer is called biological therapy. This treatment is designed specifically for women with an excessive amount of the protein, HER2, which causes cancer to spread at a rapid rate. WebMD claims that about 25 percent of women with breast cancer have an excess of HER2. Biological therapy uses Herceptin, a drug designed to prevent the protein from feeding the cancer. In many cases, this stage II breast cancer treatment will be used in conjunction with chemotherapy because Herceptin is said to help advance the effectiveness of chemotherapy.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://epancreaticcancer.com/pancreatic-cancer-life-expectancy/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Survival Rate - <strong>Stage</strong> <strong>2</strong> <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong></h3><cite>ezinearticles.com/?<strong>Breast</strong>-<strong>Cancer</strong>-Survival-Rate---<strong>Stage</strong>-<strong>2</strong>-<strong>Breast</strong>...</cite><p>Aug 21, 2007 The <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> survival rate for <strong>Stage</strong> <strong>2</strong> <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> can vary from 76% to 92% in the U.S. Here are statistics to help you understand the reasons for ...</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://ellyndavidson.com/2011/01/30/a-tribute-to-suzanne-bartholomew/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Stage</strong> 3 Colon <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong></h3><cite><strong>stage</strong>-3-colon.<strong>cancertreatment</strong>.net</cite><p>Since in <strong>Stage</strong> 3 colon <strong>cancer</strong>, the <strong>cancer</strong> has spread to nearby lymph nodes, but not yet to other parts of the body surgery is recommended followed by chemotherapy.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.artemend.com/Aboutbreastcancer/StagingSystems/Stage2.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4664829495413311&pid=1.7&w=267&h=174&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Stage</strong> 1 <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong></h3><cite><strong>stage</strong>-1-<strong>breast</strong>.<strong>cancertreatment</strong>.net</cite><p>Typical <strong>Stage</strong> 1 <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> <strong>treatment</strong> options may include surgery and hormone therapy. <strong>Stage</strong> 1 <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> is defined as being small in size (tumor/cancerous ...</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/72439874/BREAST-CANCER-2011-Registration_Accommodation-Form" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Stage</strong> 4 <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong></h3><cite><strong>stage</strong>-4-<strong>breast</strong>.<strong>cancertreatment</strong>.net</cite><p><strong>Stage</strong> 4 <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> <strong>treatment</strong> options are for <strong>Stage</strong> 4 <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong>, where the <strong>cancer</strong> has spread beyond the <strong>breast</strong> and lymph nodes to other parts of the body.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/14/showbiz/angelina-jolie-double-mastectomy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong> (PDQ) - National <strong>Cancer</strong> Institute</h3><cite>www.<strong>cancer</strong>.gov/<strong>cancer</strong>topics/pdq/<strong>treatment</strong>/<strong>breast</strong>/Health...</cite><p><strong>Stage</strong> I, <strong>II</strong>, IIIA, and Operable IIIC <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong>.

Scientists have pinpointed genes, such as mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which have been shown to contribute to the development of breast cancer. The BRCA genes are known as supressor genes, meaning that, when intact, they suppress cell growth that can lead to breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Mutation</h2> <ul> <p>While in most people the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes work to prevent cell growth, genetic mutations can keep the gene from doing its job of suppressing cell growth. Heredity is one way in which a person can have an "injured" BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene from birth, whereas other breast cancers may be due to genes that are damaged due to other causes.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Family History</h2> <ul> <p>Every person, male and female, carries the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. However, in those with a family history of breast cancer, the risk is increased that the parents will pass the gene along to their offspring. If only one parent has the injured gene, there is a 50 percent chance the offspring will have an injured gene, according to BreastDoc.com. If both parents carry the mutation, there is a 100 percent chance the offspring, male or female, will have the mutation.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Not an Absolute</h2> <ul> <p>Women or men who have the gene mutation do not always get breast cancer. However, they are considered to be at an especially heightened risk compared with those who do not. Another consideration is that the person who carries this gene also runs the risk of passing it down to her offspring. While estimates vary, anywhere from 5 to 27 percent of breast cancers occur as a result of hereditary traits, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute.</p> <p>Certain cultures are shown to have a higher likelihood for carrying the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations. These include Ashkenazi Jews, as well as people from Norway and Iceland, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute.</p> <p>A hereditary test for breast cancer exists. However (as previously mentioned) this test does not always mean a person will or will not get breast cancer.

Treatment for metastatic breast cancer remains the same as it was before the cancer spread, but the prognosis is worse. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Considerations</h2> <ul> <p>According to Musa Mayer, author of AdvancedBC.org, metastatic breast cancer is not curable. This is because once it has spread to other parts of the body, there is no treatment or combination of treatments that can completely eliminate the cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment</h2> <ul> <p>Treatment for metastatic breast cancer can extend the life of women suffering from the disease. Even though the prognosis is poor, treatment can ease the side effects.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Biology of Cancer</h2> <ul> <p>Prognosis largely depends on the biology of the cancer. Most patients can be treated with targeted therapies when the cancer is ER (estrogen receptor) positive, PR (progesterone receptor) positive or HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) positive. These diagnoses mean the cancer is easily affected by these hormones, so treatment can be specifically tailored.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Better Health</h2> <ul> <p>A woman with better general health can often handle treatments better and has a healthier prognosis.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Statistics</h2> <ul> <p>According to Cancer Monthly, the five-year survival rate of women with metastatic breast cancer is 14 percent.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Speculation</h2> <ul> <p>The National Center for Biotechnology Information says that despite the poor prognosis, the outlook for a small percentage of patients can be improved if the cancer has spread to only a small number of organs.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.readcube.com/articles/10.1038/sj.onc.1207734" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4702049649295437&pid=1.7&w=188&h=180&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Stages of <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong></h3><cite>www.<strong>breastcancer</strong>.org/symptoms/<strong>diagnosis</strong>/staging</cite><p>Stage is usually expressed as a number on a scale of 0 through IV with stage 0 describing non-invasive cancers that remain within their original location and ...</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://winningthelotto.net/papillary-dermal-oedema/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4652545857815346&pid=1.7&w=243&h=180&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Metastatic</strong> Bone <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Prognosis</strong> eHow - eHow How to </h3><cite>www.ehow.com Health <strong>Cancer</strong> Bone <strong>Cancer</strong></cite><p><strong>Metastatic</strong> Bone <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Prognosis</strong>.

As many as 40,000 people will lose their lives to the disease in the same year. Breast cancer is a deadly disease, but with regular breast examinations (both daily self- examinations and yearly mammograms) you can help fight the disease.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Cause</h2> <ul> <p>Breast cancer is caused by a mutation of the genes in the breast tissue that regulate cell growth. This alteration causes the cells to grow out of control into masses called tumors. According to the Mayo Clinic, most commonly this abnormal cell growth originates in the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma), but it can also develop in the lobules cells of the breast (lobular carcinoma).</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Metastasis</h2> <ul> <p>Unfortunately, the same cells that are altered to grow abnormally are altered in their ability to migrate to other areas of the body. This process, called metastasis (or spreading), occurs when a cancer cell breaks off the primary tumor and travels to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. From here the cell can use the lymph duct system, or in some cases the bloodstream, to travel to anywhere in the body.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Secondary Tumor</h2> <ul> <p>Once the cancer cell is able to settle, it creates new blood vessels and begins to grow a secondary tumor. These secondary tumors can occur in many places, including the chest walls, liver, brain and lungs. Unfortunately, this is also where cancer can become the most dangerous. As secondary tumors begin to grow, they crowd and place pressure on the structures and organs they occupy space with. Eventually the tumor makes it impossible for other structures to function in the same space, leading to organ failure and eventually death.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.surgeryencyclopedia.com/La-Pa/Orchiectomy.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3><cite>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<strong>Breast</strong>_<strong>cancer</strong></cite><p><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> is a type of <strong>cancer</strong> originating from <strong>breast</strong> tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://health500.com/be-aware-to-beware-of-breast-cancer/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> - definition <strong>of Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> in the Medical ...</h3><cite>medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/<strong>breast</strong>+<strong>cancer</strong></cite><p><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> Definition <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> is caused by the development of malignant cells in the <strong>breast</strong>.

Some breast tumors may become dangerous before they even start to appear as the smallest lumps on the surface of your breast. That is why it is important to be tested regularly to determine whether there are any potential tumors growing in your breasts. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Skin Symptoms</h2> <ul> <p>When breast cancer begins to form, you may experience one or more changes to the skin on and around your breast. You may start to feel hard patches of skin on your breast that could occur anywhere on the surface of your breast, or along the side of your body. You may also feel large or small lumps just under the surface of your skin. As your condition progresses, these patches of hard skin or lumps may increase in size.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Swelling of the Breast</h2> <ul> <p>Because of the tumor that is developing due to breast cancer, you may notice your breast begin to swell. Over time, the affected breast will swell to a point where it is noticeably larger than your other breast. It may start out that you notice the swelling in specific areas on your breast usually associated directly with the location of a tumor. Over time, these areas of swelling will increase in size, and as the tumor grows, the breast will swell along with it. Your breast may also start to change in shape. It may become more oval than it was previously.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Discharge</h2> <ul> <p>As a tumor grows, it may begin to cause symptoms in other parts of the breast. One of these symptoms is a discharge that will come from the nipple. The discharge may be white, or it may mix with blood and become pink. If you notice a discharge from your nipple, it may be a sign that a tumor is developing somewhere in your breast.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Nipple Shape and Size</h2> <ul> <p>A tumor may begin to distort the appearance of your breast, and one of the areas that this is most noticeable is in the areola or the nipple itself. The area of the nipple may seem to change in shape and size, or just the areola may experience these changes. Another potential sign of a developing breast tumor is an inverted nipple that is difficult to get erect.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Considerations</h2> <ul> <p>Not all lumps that you may find on your breast during a self-examination are cancerous tumors. However, it is always a good idea to report any lumps found on the breast or just under the armpit to your doctor for consideration and evaluation. It is also important to remember that not all forms of breast cancer create lumps. Some forms of breast cancer create pockets of soft skin or other changes to the surface of your breast. That is why it is important to report any irregularities to your doctor.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.certificatestreet.com/blank_6/breast-cancer-awareness-certificate_456.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4687369467593664&pid=1.7&w=259&h=188&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Information, Awareness & Donations - National <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> </h3><cite>www.national<strong>breastcancer</strong>.org</cite><p>The National <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Foundation's mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> through education and by providing mammograms for </p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.wellofoath.net/breast-cancer/breast-cancer-logo-awareness-ribbons-symbol-royalty-free-cliparts.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Pictures: <strong>Signs</strong> Of <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong></h3><cite><strong>breastcancer</strong>pictures.blogspot.com/2010/08/<strong>signs</strong>-of-<strong>breast</strong>-<strong>cancer</strong>.html</cite><p>Aug 26, 2010 <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Pictures is the blog which will provide informations and pictures related to <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong>.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.neworleanssaints.com/news-and-events/article-1/NFL-Supports-Breast-Cancer-Awareness-Month-/80500827-4d99-444b-8964-c86a6a13c80c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4997388751667693&pid=1.7&w=212&h=169&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>WebMD <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Center: Types, <strong>Symptoms</strong>, Causes, </h3><cite>www.webmd.com WebMD Home <strong>Cancer</strong> Health Center</cite><p>The five year survival rate of <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> is over 90% when caught early.

It has now spread to other areas of the body, like the lungs, bones, liver or even brain. With the progression of each stage of breast cancer, treatment options become increasingly more limited, as is the case for metastatic breast cancer. Although fewer treatments are available, therapies still include some of the more common approaches to care, such as hormone treatment, chemotherapy drugs, radiation and even surgery. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Hormone Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>For metastatic breast cancer, your first line of treatment is often the use of a hormonal therapy. With this form of treatment, a series of synthetic hormones and/or drugs are administered to block the production of certain hormones and thereby alter the hormone levels in your body. This can slow and even stop the progression of abnormal cells. Sometimes, hormonal therapy is used with a monoclonal antibody that binds with the cancerous cells, stopping the metastasis and improving your survival rate with this stage of cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Chemotherapy</h2> <ul> <p>If hormone therapy fails to produce its expected results, your doctor may start you on a course of chemotherapy to either kill remaining cancer cells, shrink malignant tumors or as a new line of defense against the disease. Much like any form of chemotherapy, a series of anticancer drugs are administered into the bloodstream to damage the abnormal cells to stop them from dividing. While chemotherapy is commonly done in conjunction with hormone therapy, especially when dealing with metastatic breast cancer, your doctor may opt to start you on chemotherapy before other therapies are used to treat the disease.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Enzyme Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>Instead of hormone therapy and chemotherapy, you may need to go through enzyme therapy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are the most common with this stage of the disease, since they obstruct the communication and growth of the cancerous cells linked to breast cancer. This is usually combined with other anticancer drugs, like capecitabine and lapatinib, to increase the efficacy of the kinase inhibitors.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Radiation Therapy</h2> <ul> <p>If these forms of treatment fail to treat the disease, your doctor may turn to palliative forms of treatment to help ease associated symptoms of the cancer, especially pain. Radiation therapy is one of the more common palliative treatments, where external beams are targeted on affected areas of the body to reduce the size of the tumors and lessen uncomfortable symptoms. This may be followed by surgery to remove the remaining cancerous cells. Although this approach rarely "cures" the cancer, it can go a long way to improving quality of life.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Clinical Trials</h2> <ul> <p>From there, you may find yourself a candidate for a clinical trial. Clinical trials generally combine new and/or long-standing therapies and procedures, like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy and surgery, that may better fight against this stage of breast cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, if you have Stage 1 breast cancer, you have a 100 percent chance of survival. Survival rate is at 81 to 92 percent if you have Stage 2 breast cancer. Women with Stage 3 breast cancer have a 54 to 67 percent chance of survival. Stage 4 breast cancer has a 20 percent survival rate. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">The Four Stages</h2> <ul> <p>Stage 1 means that your tumor is less than 2 centimeters in diameter. In this stage, the tumor also has not spread to the lymph nodes and there is no metastasis. This means the cancer has not spread to your organs or the lymph nodes that are not next to your breast.</p> <p>If you have Stage 2 breast cancer, the tumor is between 2 and 5 centimeters in diameter and has either not spread to the lymph nodes or has only spread to the lymph nodes on the same side of your body as the tumor. Also, the cancer has not metastasized.</p> <p>Stage 3 breast cancer means that your tumor is larger than 5 centimeters in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes on the same side of your body as the breast with the tumor. The cancer has not metastasized.</p> <p>If your cancer has metastasized, meaning the cancer has spread to your organs or lymph nodes that are not next to your breast, than you have Stage 4 breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Catch it Early</h2> <ul> <figure> <img src="http://v5-static.ehowcdn.com/ui/images/modules/loading/pixel.gif" width="98" height="73" alt="Felt Up (Flickr Photo/fauxto_digit)" data-img="http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-preview/ehow/images/a05/3r/2h/breast-cancer-survival-stage-2.1-800x800.jpg" /><br /> </figure> <p>The best way to survive breast cancer is to catch it early. According to the National Cancer Institute, pain, thicker skin, discharge from your nipples, or a change in your breast's size or shape can be symptoms of breast cancer.</p> <p>Perform a breast self-exam (BSE) if you are 20 years old or older. Giving yourself a BSE on a regular basis allows you to get to know how your breasts normally look and feel. By being familiar with your body, you can catch any change when it happens and report it to your doctor immediately. The American Cancer Society provides a manual on performing a BSE. Get into the habit of performing a BSE before you shower or go to bed. They don't take long.</p> <p>Get mammograms every year or every other year if you are 40 or older. A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast which can be used to detect tumors. Consult your doctor about starting mammograms before age 30 if you have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. The National Cancer Institute provides a list of 12 reasons you could be at a higher risk, including family history.</p> <p>Never be afraid to get a second, third, fourth, or fifth opinion. If you feel a lump and your doctor thinks it is nothing to worry about, you can always get a second opinion, even if the mammogram results come back negative. Doctors are not infallible and this is your life on the line, not theirs.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Fight Back</h2> <ul> <p>After being diagnosed with cancer, there are ways to improve your odds while receiving treatment. It's important to stay positive and laugh as much as possible.</p> <p>Join a breast cancer support group to learn coping mechanisms like relaxation exercises. Set up a support system of family and friends. Try to exercise. Or, purchase all the episodes of "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson to enjoy a good laugh. According to a 2008 study published in Medical News Today, patients who had psychological support throughout their treatment improved their chances of survival by 60 percent and were 45 percent less likely to have their cancer return.</p> <p>Change your diet. According to Cornell University, there are two promising studies that show a change in diet while receiving cancer treatment can increase your chances of survival by as much as 50 percent.</p> <p>The first study showed that women with breast cancer Stages 1 through 3 who consumed the largest amounts of poultry, total protein, fish, dairy, calcium, fiber and vegetables significantly increased their chances of survival over the women who consumed the least amounts of these foods and nutrients. Women who consumed large amounts of hydrogenated oils, found in processed baked foods, had a higher death rate.</p> <p>The second study found that postmenopausal women with breast cancer in Stages 1 through 3 who consumed more vegetables and Vitamin C from food increased their chances of survival.</p> <p>Remember, don't ever give up. Believe in your own recovery.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.crazycorsaclub.co.za/.log/crazycorsaclub.co.za/breast-cancer-cells-dividing.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4559388039250016&pid=1.7&w=256&h=188&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Stage</strong> 2 <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Prognosis & <strong>Survival</strong></h3><cite>www.whathealth.com/<strong>breastcancer</strong>/<strong>stage</strong>2.html</cite><p>The prognosis for <strong>stage</strong> 2 <strong>breast</strong> is usually good providing providing treatment is given during this <strong>stage</strong>.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.findcancersymptoms.com/tag/inflammatory-breast-cancer/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4857798044353813&pid=1.7&w=178&h=180&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Prevention, Treatment and <strong>Survival</strong></h3><cite><strong>breastcancer</strong>.about.com</cite><p>Welcome to <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> information!

But researchers have discovered that people with breast cancer are at higher risk for melanoma (skin cancer) and vice versa. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Identification</h2> <ul> <p>According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a large percentage of breast cancer patients develop melanoma, many within one year of breast cancer diagnosis.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Significance</h2> <ul> <p>Melanoma is the most common form of cancer, and the deadliest, among young women between the ages of 25 and 29. Breast cancer is deadliest among young women from ages 30 to 34.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Scientific Research</h2> <ul> <p>A 13-year study in Ireland led by photobiologist Gillian M. Murphy, MD, examined 34,385 patients with either melanoma or breast cancer and found 127 patients had both forms of cancer. The number would have had to be between 30 and 35 for the correlation to be considered statistically insignificant.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Statistics</h2> <ul> <p>Those with skin cancer are already at a greater risk of developing other forms of cancer. However, the risk of developing breast cancer is four times greater.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Theories/Speculation</h2> <ul> <p>The exact link between the two cancers is still unknown. There are theories, however, regarding the effects of treatments for the cancers, as well as hormone changes due to breast cancer therapy, as being the connection.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.altcancer.net/ashw0702.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4976841631204542&pid=1.7&w=199&h=175&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> risk factors : <strong>Cancer</strong> Research UK</h3><cite>www.<strong>cancer</strong>researchuk.org/<strong>cancer</strong>-info/<strong>cancer</strong>stats/types/<strong>breast</strong>...</cite><p>This page contains information on <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> risk.

Producing a black and white X-ray of breast issue, the scan can pick up even the tiniest growths and abnormalities and help doctors identify breast cancer in its earliest stages. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">How it's done</h2> <ul> <p>During a mammogram, each breast is carefully compressed between two plates and then X-rayed from different angles.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Types</h2> <ul> <p>There are two types of mammograms: screening and diagnostic. Screening mammograms are performed on healthy women with no signs or symptoms of breast cancer. Diagnostic mammograms are performed when possible breast cancer symptoms, like a lump, are found.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Who interprets the scans</h2> <ul> <p>A radiologist---a physician specially trained to diagnose diseases by interpreting X-rays and other radiological images---will read and analyze the mammogram and send a written report to you and your doctor.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Signs of trouble</h2> <ul> <p>Further testing may be recommended if calcifications, masses or cysts are found; the radiologist will also compare each new mammogram to previous ones, looking for any suspicious changes in lymph nodes or tissues.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Expert advice</h2> <ul> <p>Experts recommend women 40 and older have an annual mammogram. Women with a family history of breast cancer, or other risk factors, may need to begin scans at an earlier age, or schedule them more often.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://drjulissa.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Microcalcifications and Early <strong>Signs</strong> <strong>of Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong></h3><cite>ezinearticles.com/?Microcalcifications-and-Early-<strong>Signs</strong>-<strong>of-Breast</strong>...</cite><p>Jun 24, 2009 <strong>Breast</strong> calcifications are calcium deposits inside <strong>breast</strong> tissue.

It spreads through the blood vessels or the lymphatic system. It most commonly spreads to the liver, bones and lungs. The signs and symptoms that breast cancer has spread heavily depends on the patient. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">General Symptoms</h2> <ul> <p>There are some symptoms of breast cancer that patients experience regardless of where it spreads. These include unusual fatigue, feeling sick or under the weather, low energy and poor appetite, according to CancerHelp.org.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Lymph Nodes</h2> <ul> <p>If breast cancer spreads to the lymph nodes, there are certain symptoms a patient may experience. These can include underarm swelling that can get painful as the swelling increases. There are lymph nodes all throughout the body, such as around the collarbone and behind the breastbone, and swelling can occur anywhere there are lymph nodes if the cancer has spread to them, according to CancerHelp.org.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Bones</h2> <ul> <p>If breast cancer spreads to the bones, the patient can experience pain, and this pain can become quite severe for some patients. According to CancerHelp.org, when the pain gets severe, it can become difficult for the patient to move around and sleep. Cancer can also lead to increased bone weakness, which can result in breaks for some patients. If calcium is released into the blood by bone cells, patients can experience fatigue, confusion, nausea, irritability, constipation and thirst.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Liver</h2> <ul> <p>If breast cancer spreads to the liver, the patient may experience right side abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, nausea and a swollen abdomen. If the cancer causes liver swelling or presses on the covering of the liver, the patient can experience pain. According to CancerHelp.org, some patients may also experience jaundice.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Lungs</h2> <ul> <p>If breast cancer spreads to the lungs, the patient may have a cough or notice that they become short of breath easily. According to CancerHelp.org, patients may also experience other breathing problems, a buildup of fluid in the lungs and discomfort when they breathe.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Brain</h2> <ul> <p>According to CancerHelp.org, if breast cancer spreads to the brain, patients may experience headaches that can make them feel sick, have abnormal behavioral issues, experience memory problems and experience a part of their body not functioning normally. Though rare, patient may also experience problems with their eyesight.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.findcancersymptoms.com/tag/math-teacher/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> - <strong>Signs</strong> and <strong>Symptoms</strong> - EzineArticles </h3><cite>ezinearticles.com/?<strong>Breast</strong>-<strong>Cancer</strong>---<strong>Signs</strong>-and-<strong>Symptoms</strong>&id=4593996</cite><p>Jul 03, 2010 The <strong>cancer</strong> found in the cells of the <strong>breast</strong> is <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong>.

In the United States, women have a 1 in 35 chance that their breast cancer will cause death. Several factors contribute to a breast cancer prognosis. A diagnosis of localized breast cancer does not always mean a bad prognosis. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Breast Cancer</h2> <ul> <p>Breast cancer is the out of control growth of your breast cells. When these cells clump together they form tumors. Cancerous tumors can grow and invade your normal tissue. Breast cancer can spread to other organs in your body. There is no known cause of breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Localized Cancer</h2> <ul> <p>Localized breast cancer is an early stage of breast cancer. This type of cancer originates in your breast tissue and has not spread to any surrounding tissue or organs. Early stages of breast cancer include stage 0, 1 and 2. Stage 0 breast cancer is the existence of a few cells of cancer. Stage 1 and 2 involves tumors that are under 5 cm in size. Localized breast cancer can be effectively treated.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Prognosis</h2> <ul> <p>The prognosis of a your breast cancer is determined by several factors. Your prognosis is how long your doctor expects you to live given your diagnosis of breast cancer. Your doctor will consider your diagnosis, your social environment, your family medical history and biological factors such as the tumor size and stage of cancer. The general prognosis for localized breast cancer is high. The sooner cancer is found and treated the greater your chances for survival.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment</h2> <ul> <p>Localized breast cancer is most commonly treated with surgery. Due to the relative small size of localized tumors and that the cancer has not spread make surgery an effective treatment. A lumpectomy is a procedure in which a surgeon will remove the tumor from your breast. Lumpectomies allow your surgeon to remove the tumor without removing a large amount of breast tissue. Often surgery is the only treatment needed.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Prevention/Solution</h2> <ul> <p>Early detection is the best tool to fighting all types of cancer. It is recommended that you begin performing self breast exams and getting clinical breast exams in your 20s.

It doesn't produce lumps that can be detected on self-breast exam. Instead, the lymph nodes that help fight infection and eliminate toxins become blocked by cancerous cells. The result is breast pain and swelling, along with other symptoms. Inflammatory breast cancer is very aggressive. Only 1 to 5 percent of cancers of the breast are attributable to inflammatory breast cancer. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Characteristics</h2> <ul> <p>Inflammatory breast cancer affects women who are younger, compared to other forms of cancer of the breast. Family history may be a contributing factor, but the link is not definitely established and more studies are needed. IBC is more frequently diagnosed in African Americans than in whites.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Identification</h2> <ul> <p>Examination by a physician can provide visual clues that can help identify inflammatory breast cancer and the need for further diagnostic tests. Your doctor may order a noninvasive test called an ultrasound of the breast, biopsy or mammogram.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Types</h2> <ul> <p>Inflammatory breast cancer that is advanced and may have spread to other organs is classified as stage IV cancer of the breast. Stage IIIB means the cancer cells are contained, or localized.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Symptoms</h2> <ul> <p>Inflammatory breast cancer symptoms include warmth, redness or purple discoloration, and swelling. The breast will feel firm and take on the appearance of an orange peel because of the accumulation of fluid that would normally be removed by the lymph nodes, which become blocked. Breast swelling can cause itching and burning as breast size increases. You may notice swollen lymph nodes. Because inflammatory breast cancer progresses rapidly, symptoms can worsen within weeks.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment</h2> <ul> <p>Chemotherapy, surgery, hormonal therapy and radiation are all useful to treat inflammatory breast cancer. Mastectomy to remove the breast may be recommended. Treatment options may depend on the stage of inflammatory breast cancer.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.hawtcelebs.com/category/allison-williams/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4714389091060134&pid=1.7&w=199&h=188&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Cancer</strong> Basics</h3><cite>www.<strong>cancer</strong>.org Learn About <strong>Cancer</strong></cite><p>Answers to basic questions about <strong>Cancer</strong>. ...

It usually develops in the mammary system, which is made up of glands that run from a dog's chest to her genitals. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Dogs Affected</h2> <ul> <p>According to Peteducation.com, female dogs that have not gotten sprayed are most at risk for developing breast cancer. Usually the cancer affects dogs that are between five and 10 years old, but occasionally dogs under two years old get the disease.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Symptoms</h2> <ul> <p>Dogs with mammary cancer often develop abnormal growths in their glands. A tumor causes glands to bleed, develop an irregular shape and/or become attached to the skin or tissue in the mammary system.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Diagnosis</h2> <ul> <p>A veterinarian will usually perform a biopsy, removing a tumor to have it analyzed in a laboratory for malignancy. If the cancer has spread, a veterinarian may take an X-ray to get pictures of the inside of a dog's body.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment</h2> <ul> <p>Tumor-removal surgery is possible in dogs if cancerous cells have not spread to other parts of the body. Some veterinarians will remove mammary tissue and lymph nodes along with the tumor. During a surgery called a radical mastectomy, a dog's breasts, skin around the breasts and four lymph nodes are removed.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Prevention</h2> <ul> <p>It is possible to reduce a dog's chance of getting breast cancer by getting her sprayed before the first time or second time she goes into heat.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.tattoostime.com/tattoos/dog/page/37/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4680656429386559&pid=1.7&w=188&h=188&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Mammary <strong>Cancer in Dogs</strong> - Pet Health Care <strong>Dog</strong> and Cat </h3><cite>www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+2087&aid=460</cite><p>Mammary <strong>cancer in dogs</strong> is one of the most common tumors in intact female <strong>dogs</strong> and often may be treated successfully if caught early and treated aggressively.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/68/topic/721724" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness Facebook</h3><cite>https://www.facebook.com/<strong>BreastCancer</strong>Awareness</cite><p><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness. 3,842,758 likes 210,404 talking about this.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/55-free-pumpkin-patterns-for-hours-of-pumpkin-carving-fun" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast Cancer in Dogs eHow</strong> - eHow How to Videos, Articles ...</h3><cite>www.ehow.com Pets <strong>Dogs</strong> <strong>Dog</strong> Health</cite><p>Although it is rare, female <strong>dogs</strong> can develop <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong>.

Mayo provides clinical and hospital services for almost every complex illness, with teams of doctors and specialists on hand to provide a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. Mayo Clinic, in addition to its other offerings, provides high-quality comprehensive treatment for breast cancer. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Mayo Clinic and Breast Cancer</h2> <ul> <p>Each year, approximately 1,300 new breast cancer patients come to the Mayo Clinic for treatment. With physicians specializing in treatment, evaluation, screening and education, Mayo is one of the most active treatment and research centers in the world for breast cancer treatment. Physicians and specialists help to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient, including innovative treatments, clinical trials and supportive care.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Diagnosis</h2> <ul> <p>Mayo has an extensive amount of breast cancer screening tools at its disposal. Breast cancer screening tools include state of the art MRI's which allow for breast and surgical biopsies to be performed with a guided MRI. Ultrasound and mammography services are also available, and because Mayo understands that waiting for results can be stressful, they offer test results within 24 to 48 hours after biopsies are scheduled and performed.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment Options</h2> <ul> <p>Mayo Clinic team members and patients work together to decide the appropriate treatment plan for each breast cancer diagnosis. Many different types of treatment are offered at Mayo for breast cancer, including radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy, or a combination of several different treatment factors. A health care team is assembled for each patient, comprised of doctors that specialize in the particular treatment. A surgeon and a radiologist, for example, will be part of the health care team for a patient who requires both surgery and radiology.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Surgery</h2> <ul> <p>May surgeons perform an estimated 750 breast cancer surgeries annually. Each of the major types of breast cancer surgery are available at Mayo, including lumpectomies, simple mastectomies, skin-sparing mastectomies, radical mastectomies and modified radical mastectomies. Sentinel node biopsy, a new and less invasive procedure which involves the use of radioactive fluid and dye to remove and biopsy only those lymph nodes most likely to be affected by cancer, is also offered at Mayo.</p> <p>There is almost no wait for surgery at Mayo, with patients able to schedule an operation for the day after it is recommended. Statistics provided by Mayo demonstrate that patients who have surgery at high-volume clinics that perform many surgeries tend to have better results. Clinical trials were also underway in 2009, involving two new potential surgery options for breast cancer: MR-focused ultrasound ablation to remove cancer cells and tumors, and radioactive seed localization.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Other Therapies</h2> <ul> <p>A wide range of chemotherapy drugs are also available at Mayo, along with radiation and hormonal therapy. Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is performed prior to surgery in certain cases, to help make breast tumors small enough to remove with mastectomy or lumpectomy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is administered after surgery to ensure that all cancer cells are removed. Chemotherapy is available in pill form or via intravenous injection. Radiation may also be used before and after therapy. Finally, hormone therapies are used as a long-term treatment in hormone receptive cancer, to block estrogen and prevent a possible recurrence of breast cancer.</p> <p>Clinical trials are often performed at Mayo to test new combinations of drugs and drug therapies to find the best treatments for breast cancer.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.summitmedicalgroup.com/service/Breast-Health-Center/Risk-Questions/about-us-Breast-Care-Center-Risk-Questions/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong></h3><cite>www.<strong>mayoclinic</strong>.com</cite>Diseases & Conditions A-Z Symptoms Drugs & Supplements A-Z<p>Health Information.

There are many treatments, however, that can be used to help, including some outside of traditional medicine. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Alternative and Traditional</h2> <ul> <p>A study in 2001 showed that 84 percent of breast cancer patients use alternative (non-traditional) therapies to either augment or replace typical treatments such as chemotherapy. Many of these methods have not been proven scientifically, and there is also some potential for interactions between cancer drugs and alternative treatments. This is further complicated by the large portion of these women who do not tell their doctors about the alternative treatments. Before embarking on an alternative method of cancer treatment, you should consult your doctor first to avoid any complications from the combination of the two kinds of treatment (See reference 3).</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Herbs and Vitamins</h2> <ul> <p>A treatment famously used by actress Susan Sommers is the injection of mistletoe (Iscator). There are unproven claims that this herb can stimulate the immune system and fight cancer and other diseases. Multiple vitamins and minerals are often cited by alternative doctors as having an effect on cancer: vitamin B complex (100 miligrams each), vitamin E (work way up from 400 international units to 1,000 international units), vitamin C (5,000 milligrams to 20,000 milligrams), coenzyme Q10 (100 milligrams), essential fatty acids, calcium (2000 milligrams), magnesium (1000 milligrams), and zinc (50 milligrams) per day. Fruit and vegetable juices such as those of broccoli, carrots, kale, cauliflower, dark leafy greens, and apples may help your body fight off the cancer. Many herbs such as burdock root, red clover, gingko biloba, turmeric and ginseng may also play a role. Once again, see a doctor before adding these to your current treatment to avoid undesired interactions (See reference 2, resource 1).</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Other Treatments</h2> <ul> <p>Many types of cancer therapy fall outside the realm of chemotherapy and radiation. Metabolic therapy uses colon cleansing, detoxification and an anti-cancer diet based on enzymes, vitamins, minerals and whole foods. Shark cartilage therapy is supposed to block the creation of new blood vessels, limiting the growth of and eventually starving the tumor. Another treatment is antineoplaston therapy, which inhibits the growth of cancer using amino acid derivatives. Immune system treatments/immunologic therapies are alleged to boost the immune system and combat cancer cells with detoxification, uncontaminated water, vitamins, and diet. Biological and pharmacologic therapy uses nontoxic medications, human cell medications and plant cell medications to fight the cancer. Lastly, mind-body therapies use a score of treatments: bio-feedback, hypnosis, visualization, imagery, counseling, yoga, meditation, relaxation techniques, and massage therapy. Before embarking on any of these treatments, first contact your physician, and then get the opinions of several alternative care doctors before choosing the one for you (See reference 1, resource 1).</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://cancerhairdonation.blogspot.com/2013/02/april2010-filed-uncategorized-tagged.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Alternative</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Treatments</strong></h3><cite>www.howcure<strong>cancer</strong>.com</cite><p>Introduction .

Symptoms include a change in the size or shape of the breast, changes to the skin over the breast, peeling or flaking of the nipple skin and redness or pitting on the skin of the breast. In older women, however, normal skin aging and changes in the size or shape of the breast may be overlooked and go unmonitored.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Causes and Risk Factors</h2> <ul> <p>Doctors at the Mayo Clinic have identified a number of risk factors that may contribute to breast cancer. These factors include advancing age, late onset of menopause, previous occurrence of breast cancer and possible genetic predispositions. Researchers also note that later child-bearing and use of hormone treatments during menopause can increase risk of breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatments</h2> <ul> <p>The American Cancer Society outlines a variety of treatments for breast cancer. These include chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and targeted therapies used to attack cancer cells. One study from the NIH found that older women are more likely to have estrogen responsive tumors, and these tumors should be surgically removed, followed by radiation and the use of estrogen antagonists, such as Tamoxifen</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Statistics</h2> <ul> <p>According to the America Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women, comprising 15 percent of fatal cancer cases in 2009 alone. Deaths from breast cancer reduced in number between 1990 and 2005, likely due to a reduction in the use of hormone replacement therapy.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Considerations for Older Women</h2> <ul> <p>One report from the NIH stresses that older women should be treated based on life expectancy, rather than age. Many women in their 70s may have a life expectancy of 10 to 12 years, and the NIH notes that treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, should be used in older women with breast cancer when the treatment is appropriate. Medical experts at the NIH warn against overlooking signs and symptoms of breast cancer in older women, and they advocate for appropriate treatment.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.city-data.com/forum/fashion-beauty/739573-poll-do-you-like-tattoos-her-7.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4948155537621875&pid=1.7&w=160&h=176&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Uncut: <strong>Woman</strong> Shares Her <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Story - YouTube</h3><cite>www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzX3lu7oAuw</cite><p>KMBC's Lara Moritz talks with Amy Tyler, a 28-year-<strong>old</strong> <strong>woman</strong> who is coping with <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong>. http://www.kmbc.com/news/17737251/det...</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9377624/Breast-cancer-linked-to-bra-size.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4656389860035567&pid=1.7&w=250&h=174&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Home Page - National <strong>Cancer</strong> Institute</h3><cite>www.<strong>cancer</strong>.gov/<strong>cancer</strong>topics/types/<strong>breast</strong></cite><p>Information about <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> treatment, prevention, genetics, causes, screening, clinical trials, research and statistics from the National <strong>Cancer</strong> Institute.</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/03/02/older-women-risk-late-breast-cancer-diagnosis_n_1315642.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4621634989721169&pid=1.7&w=219&h=125&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Surveillance Consortium</h3><cite><strong>breast</strong>screening.<strong>cancer</strong>.gov</cite><p>Items of Interest; Mammogram Every Two Years Has Same Benefit as Yearly Mammogram for <strong>Older</strong> <strong>Women</strong>, UCSF Study Finds.

It is also known as Stage IV breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Characteristics</h2> <ul> <p>When cancer metastasizes (spreads) to other organs, the resulting tumor is composed of cells from the initial form of cancer. In other words, brain tumors caused by metastatic breast cancer are functionally the same as primary breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Symptoms</h2> <ul> <p>In some cases, individuals with breast cancer-related brain tumors experience no clear brain symptoms. When they do occur, symptoms may include seizures, headaches and body unsteadiness.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Treatment Options</h2> <ul> <p>Treatment options for metastatic breast cancer include radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, palliative (pain-easing) surgery and clinical trials of new medications and treatments.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Other Locations</h2> <ul> <p>Metastatic breast cancer cells may also spread to the liver, lungs, bones or other organs.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/h/breast-lump-with-bruising-on-skin.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Metastatic</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Fact Sheet - National <strong>Cancer</strong> Institute</h3><cite>www.<strong>cancer</strong>.gov/<strong>cancer</strong>topics/factsheet/Sites-Types/<strong>metastatic</strong></cite><p>What is <strong>metastatic</strong> <strong>cancer</strong>? <strong>Metastatic</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> is <strong>cancer</strong> that has spread from the place where it first started to another place in the body.

Surgery can take the form of a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. A mastectomy involves removing the entire breast. A lumpectomy only removes breast tissue that contains cancer cells, to preserve the breast. Both of these surgical procedures can have side effects and potentially cause problems. A mastectomy is likely to have more-serious side effects and lasting health implications. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Common Lumpectomy Side Effects</h2> <ul> <p>A lumpectomy is the least invasive form of breast-cancer surgery, usually only appropriate for patients with Stage I or Stage II breast cancer. Common problems or side effects associated with a lumpectomy include breast pain, pain in the incision, inflammation or swelling of the breast or at the incision site and the formation of scar tissue. The scar tissue may remain hard and may cause pain for several months after the surgery.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Common Mastectomy Side Effects</h2> <ul> <p>A mastectomy is a more invasive operation then a lumpectomy. During a mastectomy, the entire breast is removed. There are several common side effects or problems that can occur after a mastectomy. Some women develop a hematoma, which is a type of infection where blood builds up where the breast was removed. A related infection, seroma, involves fluid building up where the breast was removed. Other potentially serious problems can develop, including a syndrome called post-mastectomy syndrome.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Post-Mastectomy Syndrome</h2> <ul> <p>Many women report feeling lingering pain in the nerves or bones after breast-cancer surgery. This was so prevalent that doctors have now begun to recognize a condition called post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMP). PMP may be a permanent or lingering form of pain that exists for months or years after the breast-cancer surgery. It may include a burning or aching feeling, pain or tenderness in the area where the breast was or limited arm mobility. According to Washington Hospital Medical Center, some doctors believe that the syndrome is caused by damage to the nerves that are cut when the breast is removed.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Change in Breast Appearance</h2> <ul> <p>Many women find their appearance to be their biggest concern after a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. Even with breast-reconstructive surgery, it may be impossible to achieve two breasts which match completely, and it may be difficult to achieve results you are satisfied with.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Other Potential Side Effects</h2> <ul> <p>For many women, removal of some lymph nodes is a part of their breast cancer surgery. The lymph nodes under the arm, called axillary lymph nodes, may need to be removed in order to check for cancer or to see if the cancer has spread. Removal of the lymph nodes can cause additional post-surgical problems that may linger for a long time. Lymphedema is one common possible result from having lymph nodes removed; it occurs in approximately one out of four women who have lymph nodes removed. Lymphedema is a condition where lymph fluid builds up and causes the arm to swell. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few years. The swelling may be painful and may limit mobility in the arm.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.lymphedemablog.com/2011/10/05/lymphedema-affecting-the-breast-and-trunk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Post</strong> Gallbladder <strong>Surgery</strong> Symptoms eHow - eHow How to </h3><cite>www.ehow.com Health Surgeries & Operations Surgeries</cite><p><strong>Post</strong> Gallbladder <strong>Surgery</strong> Symptoms.

It is far more common in women then men, and is often diagnosed by the presence of a lump found during a mammogram or breast exam. If found early, breast cancer is relatively treatable using a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. However, metastatic or Stage IV breast cancer is not a curable disease, and metastases often occur in the bones, liver or lungs. Although it can't be cured, new developments have helped to improve quality of life and increase longevity for patients with metastatic breast cancer. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Bone Metastasis</h2> <ul> <p>Bone metastases is common in Stage IV breast cancer. Often, bone metastases is symptomatic and is accompanied by bone pain at the site of the metastasis. Although the metastasis and the cancer are not curable, advances in medicine, including the use of radiation therapy, tamoxifen and bisphosphonates have improved the quality of life for patients with bone metastasis and have improved prognosis and 5 year survival rates for affected patients. Systemic therapies, including chemotherapy and hormone therapy, have also helped in the treatment of bone metastasis caused by breast cancer.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Chemotherapy</h2> <ul> <p>Chemotherapy can help shrink tumors and reduce pain associated with metastatic cancer. While chemotherapy will not cure the cancer in the bone or eliminate it completely, it can help reduce the amount of cancer cells present, which alleviates pain and extends lifespans. Common side effects include loss of appetite, baldness, nausea and mouth sores.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Bisphosphonates</h2> <ul> <p>Bisphosphonates are a relatively new class of drugs that have made a difference in the treatment of bone metastasis caused by breast cancer. Bisphosphonates help to treat weakness in the bones caused by metastases. Bisphosphonates work in four ways: they slow damage to the bone caused by cancer, they help maintain normal calcium levels in the blood, they reduce bone pain and they lower the risk of bone fractures caused by metastases.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Radiopharmaceuticals</h2> <ul> <p>Radiopharmaceuticals refers to a group of drugs, given intravenously, that have radioactive elements. The drugs target and settle in spots where cancer has formed in the bone and help to eliminate some of these metastatic cancer cells. This reduces pain and is far more precise and effective than the use of external radiation beams. A single injection of a radiopharmaceutical drug can reduce or eliminate bone pain for up to a year after it is administered. This type of treatment works best for bone metastases that stimulates the bone cells to form new bone areas in the body.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Hormone therapy</h2> <ul> <p>Some breast cancers are hormone receptive, which means estrogen aids the growth of the cancer. Hormone receptive cancers can be slowed by blocking access to estrogen. Removing the ovaries or providing hormone blocking drugs can thus slow the metastatic process.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://yqubivixowof.webege.com/breast-cancer-coming-through-skin.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Symptoms of <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> with <strong>Bone</strong> <strong>Metastasis</strong> eHow</h3><cite>www.ehow.com Health <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong></cite><p>Most of us are quite familiar with the regular symptoms of <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong>, such as the presence of a lump within the tissue in or around the <strong>breast</strong> or chest, a ...</p></div></li><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.pharmainfo.net/pharma-student-magazine/breast-cancer-and-effective-treatment-overview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4636770445165940&pid=1.7&w=185&h=178&c=7&rs=1"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3>Elizabeth Edwards and <strong>bone</strong> <strong>metastases</strong> from <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> ...</h3><cite>scienceblogs.com/.../03/23/elizabeth-edwards-and-<strong>bone</strong>-<strong>metastases</strong>-fr-1</cite><p>As odd as it seems, my timing in posting about removing chemotherapy ports yesterday was eerily coincidental.

This treatment can be used alone or combined with surgery, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy. Sometimes, radiation therapy is used before surgery to shrink a tumor before it's removed. At other times, it's used after surgery to kill any cancer cells left after the tumor is removed. Radiation therapy may be used during any stage of cancer. </p> <h2 class="header Heading3">Identification</h2> <ul> <p>Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, uses radiation to destroy cancer cells. Instead of the low doses of radiation used in X-rays, high doses are used to shrink cancer cells, kill them, and keep them from spreading to other tissue.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Radiation Therapy Team</h2> <ul> <p>When you have radiation therapy, you become part of a team that works together to treat your condition. Other members of your team include a radiation oncologist that prescribes the amount of radiation needed, a nurse-practitioner to order tests and treat radiotherapy effects, a radiation therapist to give you treatments, and a radiation nurse who takes care of you during radiotherapy sessions.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Types</h2> <ul> <p>There are three ways to do radiotherapy. External radiation therapy targets cancer cells using a machine outside your body five days a week for about six weeks. Implant radiation therapy is used by inserting a small tube to put radiation directly into your breast. Brachytherapy uses surgery to place an inflatable balloon in your breast and a catheter to put radiation into the inflated balloon twice a day for a week.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Benefits</h2> <ul> <p>According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, research shows that women who have a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy live as long as women who have a total mastectomy. Radiation therapy isn't painful while you're having it and side effects can be managed by your radiation therapy team.</p> </ul> <h2 class="header Heading3">Effects</h2> <ul> <p>Though some people don't experience side effects from radiation therapy, many people feel fatigue, pain, weakness, and nausea. Your arm can swell and you could have problems moving your shoulder. Radiation can destroy healthy cells as well as cancerous ones, so you should notice effects such as swelling, rash, fever, chest pain, constipation, diarrhea, cough, bruising, bleeding, dizziness, and depression and report them to your radiotherapy team so medicine can be prescribed.</p> </ul><div id="clearspace"></div><hr /><ul class="horizontal"><li><div class="thumb"><a href="http://www.breastcanceranswers.com/video-categories/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0b30SBApYU/UI0sr5WZu0I/AAAAAAAAAQE/zMgxrwWqu-0/s1600/no_thumb.jpg"/></a><br /></div><div class="smalltext"><h3><strong>Breast</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Prevention, <strong>Treatment</strong> and Survival</h3><cite><strong>breastcancer</strong>.about.com</cite><p>Welcome to <strong>breast</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> information!
