November 16th, 2009
Have emphasized the treatment of any disease Early Detection and Treatment, breast cancer is no exception, the key is still the Early Detection and Treatment. We had more than 3,000 breast cancer patients with follow-up study showed that, I period (early) the 10-year survival rate of patients with 87%, II patients with 67%, while the III (late stage) patients was only 35%.
Therefore, the majority of female friends to raise the anti-cancer awareness, journey of life at different stages of the work do breast examinations.
Breast self-inspection is to find a good way to breast cancer in our country, most breast cancer is first discovered by patients themselves. Self-test can be arranged in the bath, after a careful observation of their own mirror is symmetrical on both sides of the breast, nipple retraction, or whether there is elevation, the existence of localized breast skin, depression, or other abnormal changes. Then, lying on the bed, his hands were touching the entire breast and axillary contralateral to check whether the hardware exception section. Avoid Zhuanie breast examination. Proposes that from the onset of puberty, women conduct a monthly breast self-test.
Once the self-test in suspicious signs should be promptly carried to the hospital for specialist out-patient breast Mammography X-ray radiography examination and B-mode ultrasound to further confirm the diagnosis. At present, the recognized Mammography X-ray radiography examination and B-ultrasonography is the most commonly used clinical and laboratory examinations of the most effective means of breast cancer.
As Mammography X-ray photography can be observed that clinical examination can not touch the mass of early breast cancer, in particular, a new generation of Digital Mammography X-ray radiography examination to make the image clearer, higher rates of early diagnosis of breast cancer, its identification of benign and malignant tumors of the accuracy and even up to 90%. Practice also shows that the age of 50 breast cancer patients, 85% are managed by Mammography X-ray radiography examination found. The Mammography X-ray photography survey, women over 50 years of age can decrease breast cancer mortality by 30%. Therefore, the American Cancer Society makes the following recommendations: 35 to 39-year-old woman should be a Mammography X-ray radiography examination; after the age of 40 inspected once every two years; 50 years of age to annual inspections. China’s women over 35 years of age should also be carried out in accordance with the above requirements Mammography X-ray radiography examination, while the high risk of breast cancer, such as menarche younger than 12 years of age, menopause age older than 52 years old ( “35 years old) primiparous , celibacy is not education, breast cancer family history, the side of the risk of breast cancer, received radiation during adolescence and risk of benign breast disease patients, as well as the more serious breast hyperplasia, fibroadenoma, mastitis and breast trauma patients, should be done once a year Mammography X-ray image inspection.
B-ultrasound examination is commonly used method of breast disease, one can Mammography X-ray radiography examination used in combination. The method is non-toxic, harmless, simple characteristics such as its ability to discern between benign and malignant, cystic, solid, proliferative diseases such as breast. However, ultrasound is sometimes a false positive, to less than 1 cm tumor diagnosis difficult.
If patients with nipple discharge (flow), can be used duct endoscopy examination, most patients can be diagnosed. This method confirmed the high rate of painful small, but the examination, should check the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), if necessary, should detect HIV (HIV), in order to prevent cross-infection.
Pathological examination is an essential basis for the clinical diagnosis of breast cancer, mainly for Mammography X-ray radiography examination and B-check suspicious persons. Pathological examination, including cell pathology examination and histopathological examination of two. Cell injury and pathological examination, less pain, fast, convenient and feasible. Histopathologic examination of not only qualitative, but also in the type of the tumor before surgery, to provide reference for the treatment. Puncture device can even be a new generation of organizations suction (cut) In addition to the early foci and from surgery.
