Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer that affects women all across the globe. Breast cancer is the most dangerous type of cancer that takes millions of lives worldwide. But routine check up, self diagnosis can help in early detection of the cancer that can further help in providing better treatment opportunities. In case of breast cancer, it affects the cells of the breasts by disturbing its cell cycle. One may feel painful lumps in the beast, in some cases it may be a benign tumor which means it’s non cancerous. But in other cases it may be malignant which means it is cancerous. In both the conditions, removing the lump is necessary. There are some of the warning signs or symptoms of breast cancer that include a lump in the breast that can be painful, bloody discharge from the nipple, and abnormal changes in the shape or size of the nipple or breast. Some other symptoms faced by individuals can be as follows: Breast Lump that can be painful Tissue Thickening of breast tissue that has developed recently Severe Breast Pain Redness or , Pitted Skin all over breast Swelling or abnormal breast Discharge from the nipples (not Breast Milk) Skin Peeling, Scaling, or Flaking around nipples or breast Sudden change in shape of breast Inverted or abnormal shape of Nipples Changes in skin of breast Lump under armpits If you are facing any of the above mentioned symptoms, then you must visit an expert to verify if you have breast cancer or not. Further, if you identify a lump in your breast even if it is not painful in that case too, you should consult an expert and go for further examination or testing. The treatment for breast cancer depends on various factors such as the stage of cancer, size of lump, and spread of it. The treatment usually includes a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy and surgical removal of the lumps or mastectomy. There are two categories that are used to describe the types of breast cancer, which may include: Ductal carcinoma in situ: In case of Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) it can be described as a noninvasive condition. Which means in DCIS, the cancer cells are confined to the ducts of the breast and haven’t affected the surrounding breast tissue
Conclusion
Lobular carcinoma in situ: In Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) the cancerous cells grow in the milk-producing glands of the breast, which at times can’t be self diagnosed. It is different from DCIS as the cancer cells in this case have not invaded the surrounding tissues of the breast. Invasive ductal carcinoma: Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is usually a very common form of breast cancer found worldwide. In such types of breast cancer, the cancerous cells first begin in your breast’s milk ducts and then it slowly spreads to the nearby tissue of the breast. Once the cancerous cells spread to the tissue outside your milk ducts, then it can be very dangerous as it spreads to the nearby organs and tissues. Invasive lobular carcinoma: In case of Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) the cancer first develops in your breast’s lobules and then it spreads to the nearby tissues. Few less common types of breast cancer may include: Paget disease of the nipple which is a type of breast cancer that begins in the ducts of the nipple, but slowly it grows and starts to affect the skin and areola of the nipple.

Most popular and trending Questions
How does robotic surgery compare to traditional (open) surgery and laparoscopic surgery?
Robotic surgery offers advantages over traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery by providing enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization, while also reducing incision size and patient recovery time
What are the benefits and risks of robotic surgery?
The benefits of robotic surgery include improved surgical outcomes, reduced pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery. However, there are potential risks such as longer operating times, costs, and technical limitations
Which surgical procedures can be performed using robotic technology?
Robotic technology can be used for a wide range of surgical procedures across various specialties, including urology, gynecology, general surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery
How does robotic surgery enhance precision and minimize invasiveness?
Robotic surgery enhances precision by offering 3D visualization, wristed instruments that mimic hand movements, and tremor filtration, while also minimizing invasiveness through smaller incisions
What training and qualifications are required for surgeons to perform robotic procedures?
Surgeons undergo specialized training and certification to perform robotic procedures, which includes simulation training, proctoring, and hands-on experience under supervision
How does robotic surgery impact patient recovery time and outcomes?
Robotic surgery can lead to shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic outcomes for patients, resulting in overall better outcomes compared to traditional surgery
What is the cost associated with robotic surgery compared to other surgical approaches?
The cost of robotic surgery includes expenses related to equipment, maintenance, and training, which may be higher than traditional surgical approaches. However, the potential benefits may outweigh the costs in terms of improved outcomes and reduced complications
