什么是乳腺癌,到底是什么?
如果您有胸部或知道谁做,你可能知道一些乳腺癌的基础知识,因为有一个不错的机会出现在你的生活的人谁是有它。乳腺癌是妇女约有270,000案件最常见的恶性肿瘤被诊断每年,占所有癌症病例的大约30%,根据美国癌症协会。虽然它经常发生较少,男性也可以患乳腺癌。事实上,碧昂斯的父亲最近成为的男人2,670每年诊断之一。
在这些人的,他们的乳腺癌都是同一开头:一个流氓细胞开始繁殖的方式它不应该,最终形成肿瘤。要真正了解不同类型和乳腺癌的阶段,它有助于有一个形象在你的一切的起点的头脑和它是如何成长。乳房的主要结构是奶腺(称为小叶),携带牛奶管道,和脂肪和纤维组织组成大部分的乳房。大部分乳腺癌的腺体或导管开始。
一旦乳腺癌被发现,医生会给它一个阶段,从0至IV-根据疾病的程度,预后是什么,以及它的治疗将是最好的。在每个阶段,有视之类的东西肿瘤大小和淋巴结受累进一步分类,通常通过用字母a,b,和c医生指示。现在,我们正在与主要类别坚持:
Stage 0:原位也称为导管癌(DCIS),0期肿瘤是异常细胞,其形式在管道内(“原位”剩余到位装置),和目前的研究表明,在很多情况下,这些细胞不会生长的任何进一步或原因问题的病人。有人甚至认为DCIS癌前病变的这种非侵入性的形式。
The catch? About 20% to 30% of the time, these cells continue their out-of-control ways and push into tissues outside of the duct (this is called “invasive” cancer). Unfortunately, there is no sure way to know which type of DCIS you have, which is why even stage 0 breast cancers are treated (more on this below).
阶段I:这是浸润性乳腺癌的尽可能早的阶段。在这一点上,肿瘤为不大于20毫米(2cm)上,并与没有扩散超过微观到腋下淋巴结。在这个阶段,抓住癌症是可以治愈和治疗:五年生存率,意义,妇女谁是活着五年后诊断,是一个令人难以置信的99%的数量。
第二阶段:这些肿瘤是试图clai股份m. They’re generally larger than 20 mm and may have spread into a few lymph nodes under the arm. But deep breath. The five-year survival rate for stage II cancer is a still a reassuring 85%.
第三阶段:At this point, the tumor is likely pretty big (larger than 50 mm) and/or cancer cells have made their way into several lymph nodes, either under the arms or as far away as the collarbone. This stage also includes cancers that have directly invaded the chest wall or have formed skin nodules or ulceration.
Stage IV:乳腺癌的这种最高级形式,被称为转移,已扩散到骨骼和/或器官,如肺,肝,或脑。这个诊断最困难的部分是,它没有考虑固化。然而,在一些人,病情发展可减缓或甚至通过一系列药物和其他治疗停止,病情变得更慢性疾病。五年的这个阶段是27%,我们知道这是不容易看到,但这里的你一定要记住这些统计数据是什么:是的,他们很可怕,但是你是不是一个数字。有女今天还活着谁一直患有转移性乳腺癌的几十年。
不太常见的癌症和其他乳腺疾病
Worth noting: The above describes the most common breast cancers, but there are afew less-common typesyou should know about, and some other breast diseases that are sometimes confused with breast cancer.
- Paget病:这种罕见的乳腺癌开始在乳管,然后蔓延到乳头和乳晕的皮肤。它可以看起来像湿疹皮疹。
- 炎性乳腺癌:在这些情况下,癌症通常是更先进的,根据美国国家癌症研究所,并已蔓延到乳房的皮肤,使之红,肿,有时像酒窝橙色的皮肤。与IBC,你可能并不总是感觉到有,而且往往是在年轻女性多见和那些谁是非洲裔美国人。
- Lobular carcinoma in situ:Despite the word “carcinoma” in the name, lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is not cancer. In LCIS, cells do grow abnormally in the milk glands of the breast, but they do not invade other tissues. Although this conditionisn’tcancer, it is a sign that a person is at increased risk for developing cancer in either breast in the future, and you’ll most likely need more frequent screenings.

是什么原因导致乳腺癌的发生吗?
究竟是什么引发乳腺癌细胞生长失控还不是很清楚,但科学家们知道,某些因素和习惯可能与细胞的使用手册干扰,又名它的基因,根据美国癌症协会。如果有什么阻断其信号停止分裂或食堂与它有能力修复DNA损伤,这些异常细胞只会继续下去。
每个人的风险是不同的,取决于多种因素,如遗传,家族史,生活方式等问题。但女性平均拥有约在她的生活中患乳腺癌的12%的机会。The average age of diagnosis is 62.
Here are some of the most common risk factors for breast cancer:
家史:有一个近亲(母亲,父亲,姐妹),或谁已经有疾病可以使你的风险更高一些更遥远的亲戚。妇女与BRCA1或2突变在其一生中患乳腺癌的50%至85%的风险。通常情况下,这些基因有助于防止异常生长;但是当他们损坏,它很难为人体短路肿瘤的发展。
不是每个人都需要测试这些突变s, but those with certain types of family history (such as having two first-degree relatives with breast cancer or one if you have Ashkenazi-Jewish heritage) should. So ask your doctor at your next check up if you should consider genetic screening to get better handle on your breast cancer odds. If it turns out that you do have one of the mutations, you'll be able to work with your doctor on a plan to get those risk numbers down.
Age:只是年纪越来越大的增加患乳腺癌的风险,而这种疾病大多数情况下的人中,50岁以上的发生。有时需要几十年的小基因突变积累的一个终于打破这种平衡之前并触发肿瘤。
激素:Most breast cancers are fueled by estrogen and progesterone, so the longer a woman is exposed to reproductive hormones, the higher her risk of breast cancer. Women who started their periods before age 12 have about a 20% higher chance of developing breast cancer than someone who started after age 14. Hitting menopause after age 55 increases the odds by about 30% versus going through the change 10 years earlier. Taking combined estrogen and progesterone hormone therapy for menopause symptoms also increases risk (how much depends on how old you are and how long you took the medications). A history of using certain oral contraceptives for birth control is also linked to a very small (7%) increase in risk.
体内脂肪:Here's a little-know fact about fat: It produces estrogen. So the more you have, the higher your hormone levels tend to be. A study inJAMA Oncologyfound that in post-menopausal women, the risk of an estrogen-sensitive tumor was about twice as high in those with the highest percentage of body fat compared to the lowest. This was true even for women who had a “healthy” body-mass index.
Alcohol:你看,你仍然可以偶尔品尝鸡尾酒,但即使是适度饮酒(一到两日饮品)可以通过增加患乳腺癌的风险大约三分之一到一半,根据一项研究目前乳腺癌报告。
家庭计划:无论你有孩子或不和在什么年龄可以通过改变你的程度,暴露于激素影响你患乳腺癌的风险。在研究International Journal of Cancer发现谁从未有过的孩子们分别为1.3倍更容易患上这种疾病的妇女...妇女谁了他们的第一个孩子后,35岁分别为1.4倍更有可能得到乳癌谁比那些岁之前有一个孩子20.尽量不要到太挂在这些数字虽然:有没有人建议青少年怀孕预防乳腺癌?不。有一个孩子的正确时间,只要你说的是,这可能是永远。
Do I Have the Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
Some breast cancers cause no obvious symptomsat all—which is why regular mammography screening is so important. (The American Cancer Society says women need yearly mammograms starting at age 45 but should have the option of beginning annual screening at 40.) Sometimes though, these tumors do make themselves known to you, so it helps to have a sense of what to look for. Having any of the following symptoms does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Instead, consider them a signal to call your doctor:
肿块和肿胀:Many women have naturally lumpy breasts. You should take note of any lumps you feel or see in your breasts—but if both boobs have similar lumps in similar places, or they come and go with your menstrual cycle and are smooth and rubbery, they’re likely just cysts or other normal clumps of tissue. The lump to pay most attention to is one that’s new, only on one side, and doesn’t go away.
另一件事要知道:虽然肿瘤可以感受到湿软和光滑的触感,癌肿块往往具有不规则边缘和手感较硬和不动产,像鹅卵石。部分或全部一个乳房的肿胀无法解释也应检查出来。已经扩散到淋巴结有时更先进的乳腺癌患者也可引起肿胀,压痛,或在腋下或锁骨的质量。
Pain:Many women experience breast tenderness that comes and goes during certain times of the menstrual cycle, but new pain that doesn’t go away with your period should be checked out.
Nipple changes:A newly retracted (or, sunken in) nipple is a symptom in some cancers. A tumor can cause inflammation and scarring that tugs that tissue inward. Same goes for sudden nipple discharge, especially fluid that’s bloody, in someone who isn’t breastfeeding or had a baby in the last year. And an eczema-like rash around the nipple can be a sign of Paget disease.
Skin changes:发红,发热,肿胀,或凹痕可能指向炎性乳腺癌。

阅读更多怎么做医生诊断乳腺癌?
A doctor diagnoses breast cancer using a few different tools, usually starting with imaging tests like a mammogram.
成像
- 乳房X光摄影:大多数妇女应该开始得到规则screening乳房X线照片40多岁,但高危妇女应尽早开始。这些x射线成像测试寻找群众或称为钙化小的白点。如果医生怀疑乳腺癌,他们会要求作诊断乳房X线照片以进一步探讨在乳房的任何变化。在诊断乳房X光检查,放射科医生会经常看图像立即,你需要等待,如果他们要采取额外的照片,或者他们会在一个地区使用尤其是“放大”的观点,真正零。
- 超声:有时医生会希望得到您的乳房的不同或更详细的图片,将责令超声波或核磁共振成像(MRI),以获取有关可疑肿块或斑点的更多信息。超声波是对一个可疑的肿块跟进,因为声波反弹不同掀起了充满液体的囊肿对固体结块这更可能是癌症的一个很好的选择。
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):妇女谁是患乳腺癌的高风险有时需要一个MRI与他们定期乳房X线照片一起。这是因为核磁共振成像可以“看到”一些癌症是乳房X光检查会错过。这就是说,跳绳乳房专用,只是有一个MRI是不是一个好主意,因为MRI能错过其他癌症,将出现在乳房X光检查!
活检
在一个切片检查,医生会采取一些流体或组织从乳房,并测试其异常。有几个不同类型的活检:
- Fine-needle aspiration:在这种最小侵入性的选项,一个医生将一个瘦小的,空心针入肿块移除一些细胞。(如果肿块是很难感觉或发现,医生有时会使用超声成像帮她知道在哪里的目标。)
- 切除活检:Just like is sounds, this one is more like surgery. A doctor will cut out the suspicious lump entirely and test it—this is the most accurate way to diagnose, or rule out, cancer.
Pathology Tests
If a biopsy shows that a tumor is cancerous, doctors will run other tests to figure out what type of breast cancer it is. Many different tumor characteristics affect prognosis and treatment, including:
- 激素状态:Breast cancers that depend on estrogen or progesterone to grow are called hormone receptor-positive tumors. These cancers can be treated with hormone-therapy drugs and often have a better prognosis than other tumors, according to the American Cancer Society. A majority of breast cancers are hormone-receptor positive.
- HER2 status:HER2-positive breast cancers overproduce the HER/neu protein, which can speed tumor growth. Those who test positive receive certain targeted medications that can block those signals.
If both hormone receptor and HER2 tests are negative, the breast cancer is classified astriple-negative。他们往往比其他类型的乳腺癌更积极,尽管专家们不知道是什么原因,也有较少的针对性的治疗。
What Is the Best Treatment for Breast Cancer?
大多数乳腺癌治疗包括surgical removal的肿瘤。但许多人需要更多的关心after that. The best combination of treatments for your breast cancer depends on the type and stage, and your own preferences. A lot of people consult with a team of different types of doctors including oncologists and breast surgeons before deciding what to do.
Surgery
- 乳房肿瘤切除术:就在肿瘤和一些周围的组织被取出。这对人是小,相对于胸部和不在乳房内多种癌症的最佳选择。不少患者传播到节点也可能是候选者。
- Mastectomy:所有的乳房组织(和乳房有时乳头和/或皮肤)被去除。它通常建议当有乳房癌几个方面,或者在比较健康的乳房组织量的肿瘤是非常大的。
- Lymphadenectomy:Removal of some or all of the lymph nodes under the arm. This may be required if the tumor has spread beyond the breast itself.
Medication
- 化疗药物are used to kill or shrink cancer cells. Some tumors respond better to chemo than others—tests done on your specific cancer cells will help you and your doctor decide whether these drugs should be part of your treatment plan.Chemo is usually given as an IV infusionor injection at a clinic or doctor’s office. Doses are given in bursts—or cycles—of a few weeks at a time so that patients are able to rest and recover from each treatment before having another. The length of time a person will need chemotherapy treatments can vary, but it often lasts anywhere from three to six months.
- 激素治疗通常用于治疗激素阳性的癌症,以切断激素的肿瘤生长所需要的和扩散的供应。这些药物通常采取了很长一段时间,五至10年。
- 其他药物可以用来鼓励一个人自身的免疫系统来杀死癌细胞或靶向在一些癌症特异性蛋白质(如HER2阳性肿瘤)。而不是杀死癌细胞的方式,不化疗,靶向治疗通常不损害健康细胞一样多。靶向疗法可作为注射剂,输注IV,或药丸形式和一些可给予最多的一年。
Radiation
Very high-energy x-rays are delivered to the breast in order to wipe out cancer cells, shrink tumors, and/or help prevent breast cancer from growing back after surgery. Whether you need radiation depends on a lot of factors. If you have a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy, for example, you will likely need radiation to zap any malignant cells that may have been left behind, lowering the chances that tumor will grow back. Some women will need radiation after mastectomy, as well.
辐射是对你整个乳房要么完成了,或只是其中肿瘤所在的部分。如果你的医生决定,你需要全乳照射,你会得到一个治疗五天,每周三到六周。如果你的乳房只有部分需要辐射,您通常需要一天一次或两次治疗三到五天。
治疗可以帮助其他类型
有一个原因,人们谈论与癌症的战争:因为治疗将你的身体进入战场。因此,当你做的时候,做任何你需要感到安慰,支持,少强调了。按摩,瑜伽,针灸,和/或传统疗法可保护您从任何附带损害的唇膏。
乳腺癌的每个情况都不同,所以是每一个治疗计划。详细了解乳腺癌的治疗可能会适合你。

What’s Life Like for People With Breast Cancer?
Living day-to-day after being diagnosed with breast cancer can be full of fear and anxiety, plus pain or other really-not-fun side effects from treatment. You may also have to deal with people who don't understand the condition and can't fully grasp what you're going through. But here’s the good news: Because breast cancer is a relatively common illness and because there are so many excellent treatments, there are a lot of people who understand your situation and can help.
Take things one step at a time: Educate yourself about breast cancer, never be afraid to ask your medical team questions, and enlist the help of a friend or loved one to go to appointments with you. Breast-cancer treatment can be complex and the terminology confusing. It can be hard to keep everything straight when you are feeling unwell or are scared—your appointment buddy can take detailed notes and write down questions for you to ask next time.
情绪健康
This diagnosis can turn your life upside down. But you’re going to be making some of the most important decisions of your life over the next few months, and stress and depression can interfere with your healing process. Here’s how to fight back.
- 工作应力释放到你的日常生活。负面情绪会影响你做出决定周到,以及导致的应力,可以抑制你的免疫系统的能力。所以一定要结合活动,帮助你平静你的心灵,如冥想,深呼吸,锻炼日记,或任何其他方法,对你的作品。
- Speak up! Talking with friends and family about what you're going through can help you feel less alone. It’ll also give them a chance to offer support. And when they do, take it. If you’re too tired to cook, let them bring you dinner. If you want company at a chemotherapy treatment, let them drive you to the clinic and stay and chat during your infusion.
- 考虑参加一个支持小组或者跟一个医生。被诊断出患有乳腺癌是可怕的,即使你在早期发现和你有一个阳光明媚的预后。没有人能理解你正在经历挺像人谁是经历过什么。许多大型医院和癌症中心对患者免费支持团体。尝试一出。
性生活
癌症包括你在你的一生的斗争,并思考别的,包括性是非常困难的。另外,你觉得你的身体,怎么看起来乳房肿瘤切除术或乳房切除手术后可以改变很多的方式。如化疗或激素疗法的治疗也可以干扰性欲或功能。但你不必坐视不理,并采取它。良好的第一步是要告诉你的医生。大多数妇女处理过程中或乳腺癌治疗后一些性生活的变化和中断。你的医生会不会很惊讶,或当你把它不好意思!她可以帮助:有药物和其他修复她建议,以帮助缓解药物性副作用;再加上她可以把你介绍给其他乳腺癌幸存者或谁是善于帮助幸存者缓解放回包括他们的正常生活,性高潮辅导员一个支持小组。
在哪里可以找到乳腺癌的社区?
有很多谈论乳腺癌,但发现和谁聊天认识的人究竟what you’re going through can be just as important as finding a treatment plan that works. Here are some places to start to make connections, find resources, and meet friends.

经常问的问题Breast Cancer
怎样检查自己的乳房癌?
最好的办法是去了解你的乳房,怎么他们觉得,他们的样子,他们你的月经期间如何变化周期,并让你的医生知道任何有关改变。乳腺癌最常见的症状是肿块。其他症状可包括皮肤酒窝,疼痛或一侧乳房,这不是关系到你的时期,皮肤发炎肿胀,意想不到的乳头溢液。
什么是我能患乳腺癌的机会?
每个人的风险是不同的,取决于多种因素,如遗传,家族史,生活方式等问题。但女性平均拥有约在她的生活中患乳腺癌的12%的机会。诊断的年龄中位数为62;只有约5名妇女患乳腺癌%被确诊40岁以下。
What is the breast-cancer survival rate?
预后取决于多种因素,包括肿瘤的分期,肿瘤的类型和治疗提供什么。但平均而言,浸润性乳腺癌的五年存活率为90%。10年生存率为83%。转移性乳腺癌(已经扩散至身体的其他部位的类型)的5年存活率为27%。但要记住,乳腺癌的早期形式的成活率为99%。
男人得乳腺癌?
是。任何人any gender can get breast cancer,although women are 70 to 100 times more likely to develop the disease than men, according to the American Cancer Society. About 2,600 men are diagnosed each year.
