lumps Breast infection Fibrocystic breast disease Fibroadenoma (noncancerous tumor) Fat necrosis (damaged tissue)
PAIN Stress Side affect of birth control Hormones caused by menstruation Bra that doesnt fit
symptoms Nipple discharge or retraction of the nipple Enlargement of one breast Dimpling of the breast surface An orange peel texture to the skin Vaginal pain Unintentional weight loss Enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit Visible veins on the breast
Types of breast cancer Noninvasive: cancer has not spread from original tissue (stage 0) Invasive: cancer cells have spread to surrounding tissue (stages I-Iv)
Breast exams Mammogram: an x-ray of the breast to help tell between a benign and malignant mass Biopsy: removal of a small amount of breast tissue for testing Ultrasound: use of ultrasonic sound waves to produce an image of the tissue MRI: normally used in conjunction with other tests, magnetic resonance imaging is another noninvasive way to examine breast tissue
treatments Mastectomy: surgical removal of part or the whole breast to remove a tumor and connecting tissue Lumpectomy: removes the tumor while leaving the breast intact Chemotherapy: the most common cancer treatment, chemotherapy uses anticancer drugs to interfere with cells ability to reproduce Radiation: another standard in the fight against cancer, radiation uses X-rays to directly treat cancer Hormone & Targeted Therapy: used when either genes or hormones play a part in the cancers growth
