Basic information about breast cancer

October 11, 2022

·         Breast cancer is a disease that causes malignant (cancer) cells to develop in the breast tissues.
·         Breast cancer risk is increased by a family history of the disease as well as other variables.
·         Inherited gene mutations can cause breast cancer (changes).
·         Breast cancer risk is reduced by the use of certain medications and other variables.

Breast cancer is a disease that causes malignant (cancer) cells to develop in the breast tissues:

The breast consists of lobes and ducts. Each breast is divided into 15 to 20 lobes. Each lobe is divided into many smaller portions known as lobules. Lobules terminate in dozens of small bulbs capable of producing milk. Thin tubes called ducts connect the lobes, lobules, and bulbs.

Each breast contains blood and lymph vessels. Lymph vessels transport an almost colourless, watery fluid called lymph. Lymph veins transport lymph from lymph nodes to lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are little bean-shaped structures that can be found all over the body. They filter lymph and store white blood cells, which aid in the fight against infection and sickness. Near the breast, lymph nodes are present in the axilla (under the arm), above the collarbone, and in the chest.

Breast cancer risk is increased by a family history of the disease as well as other variables:

A risk factor is something that enhances your chances of contracting a disease. Having a risk factor does not guarantee that you will develop cancer; similarly, not having a risk factor does not guarantee that you will not develop cancer. If you believe you may be at risk for breast cancer, consult your doctor.

Breast cancer risk factors include the following:

A family history of invasive breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) (LCIS).

A history of benign (noncancerous) breast illness.

A first-degree relative has a family history of breast cancer (mother, daughter, or sister).

Changes in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, or other genes that enhance the risk of breast cancer, are inherited.

Inherited gene mutations can cause breast cancer (changes):

The genes in cells carry the genetic information passed down from one's parents. Hereditary breast cancer accounts for 5% to 10% of all cases of breast cancer. Some breast cancer-related mutant genes are more common in certain ethnic groups.

Women who have particular gene mutations, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, are more likely to develop breast cancer. These women are also at a higher risk of ovarian cancer and may be at a higher risk of other cancers. Men who have a faulty gene linked to breast cancer are at a higher risk of developing the disease. See Male Breast Cancer Treatment for further details.

Breast cancer risk is reduced by the use of certain medications and other variables:

· A protective factor is anything that reduces your chances of contracting a disease.

· Breast cancer protective factors include the following:

· Choosing one of the following:

· Following a hysterectomy, estrogen-only hormone treatment is used.

· Modulators of selective oestrogen receptors (SERMs).

· Inhibitors of aromatase.

· Breast tissue is exposed to less oestrogen produced by the body. This could be as a result of:

· An early pregnancy

· Breastfeeding.

· Getting adequate physical activity.

· Having one or more of the following procedures:

· Mastectomy to minimise cancer risk.

· Oophorectomy to minimise cancer risk.

· Ablation of the ovaries.
