Breast far away from us?



Yao Beina singer died due to breast cancer recurrence, only 33 years old. This is the last few years, after we know it, "Lin sister" Chen Xiaoxu, and a star was breast cancer took his life. 2013 plus famous Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie accepted preventive surgery and other things, when people of the Yao Beina endless regret, it is the feeling of breast cancer seems to be not far from us.

Breast cancer younger: Every day we are faced with incentives

According to the 2009 breast cancer incidence data from the National Cancer Center and Department of Health Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention published in 2012, the national incidence of breast cancer ranked No. 1 female cancer, female breast cancer incidence (rough) national total of 42.55 / 100,000, of which the city was 51.91 / 100,000 in rural areas of 23.12 / 10 million.

Two peak incidence of breast cancer in general, one is 45-55 years old, the second is 70 years of age. This seems consistent with the concept of ordinary people, in addition to film and television drama often show leukemia, cancers such "serious illness" should not find the feeling of young people. However, the peak incidence of breast cancer in women than in the western countries about 10 years earlier, tend to be young, 20-40-year-old career women become high-risk population. According to reports, the United States had found a case of 9-year-old breast cancer patient, breast cancer is by far the youngest patients.

Breast cancer is formed mainly in the following several incentives: changes in hormone levels, too much stress, delayed marriage and childbearing less breastfeeding, late menarche or late menopause, breast products contain excessive hormones, drinking, obesity and so on. Easy to see that every day we are faced with a few of them incentives.

How to achieve early detection

Angelina Jolie have accepted prophylactic mastectomy to reduce the risk of developing cancer, because BRCA1 mutations.

Earlier, according to media reports, in 2011 when Yao Beina found himself in the mirror LIMA local area have similar dimple marks. Detection of breast cancer, there is indeed some of the self-examination process, mainly to observe the appearance of the breast, such as whether the abnormal nipple discharge, breast size, there are no abnormal changes in traits have not touched abnormal mass, whether bilateral breast symmetry, breast there are no abnormal changes in the skin (such as orange peel-like change).

Followed by the need for early screening, that is, by means of medical means for screening. American Cancer Society, which has three suggestions. One is that women over 40 years for a second mammography combined with ultrasound examination every year, 40 years of age should be performed once breast ultrasound examination every the other is a high-risk women, if any history of exposure to radiation, there is a clear genetic tendencies - such as relatives BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations, regardless of age level, the need for a second MRI year. Angelina Jolie have accepted prophylactic mastectomy to reduce the risk of developing cancer, because BRCA1 mutations. The third is women aged 20-39 every three years should be checked by a specialist breast 1 breast, women over 40 should be checked once a year.

By means of the above, we can find breast cancer early, it can be treated in time, reduce the risk of recurrence and improve survival or quality of life.

Treatment of breast cancer: enter the era of comprehensive treatment

In recent years, as scientists study the pathogenesis of breast cancer in-depth, comprehensive treatment of breast cancer has entered the era of treatment, the formation of both the local treatment and systemic treatment of breast cancer treatment modality. According to tumor stage and general physical condition of the patient, as appropriate, the use of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological targeted therapy and adjuvant therapy of traditional Chinese medicine and other means.

Breast surgery including breast and axillary lymph nodes in two parts. Breast surgery breast conserving surgery (BCS) and total mastectomy. Currently In general, patients with tumors less than 3cm in diameter can be used breast-conserving surgery plus while other patients should undergo radical mastectomy, you can use plastic surgery to rebuild the breast. Postoperative treatment after surgery should be based on the doctor's recommendation, after treatment, including hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

In the treatment of breast cancer, endocrine therapy is a major feature, convenient and less painful but it requires long-term treatment, the latest research shows that hormone therapy should be continued at least 5--10 years.

Why postoperative recurrence: Discovery Night

Yao Beina diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, and was then accepted LIMA full cut surgery. However, after three years of recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells into the brain and lungs. People sorry for her, may also have some questions. If we say that in 2007, "Lin sister" certain death, due to her willingness to give up the treatment for personal and brings us but Yao Beina underwent surgery, had not been able to overcome the disease it? Why do cancer recurrence?

Comprehensive treatment of breast cancer with surgery, treatment effect has been higher than ever before, but the domestic advanced breast cancer diagnosed in more substantial proportion of patients will relapse and metastasis occur within a certain time. The main risk factors for recurrence include: advanced clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, younger than 35 years of age, tumor diameter greater than 2cm, ER (-) / PR (-), Her-2 (+), high ki-67, P53 positive, did not undergo sufficient enough course of adjuvant therapy.

For Yao Beina such young women, once diagnosed with breast cancer, although carried out radical surgery, due to the high degree of malignancy, but still prone to recurrence. After recurrence and metastasis, will greatly increase the difficulty of treatment. Yao Beina That will be shifted into the brain and lungs, the cancer metastasis to the brain is most dangerous.

When newly diagnosed patients with recurrence or metastasis of the patients that there, on the chance of cure is relatively slim. But overall, the degree of malignancy of breast cancer in malignant tumors is low, and the therapeutic effect is relatively good. It is reported that chemotherapy combined with hormonal therapy can be obtained 6 years or so with survival mode under the targeted drug therapy.

Prevention of breast cancer: Do not mess with exogenous estrogen

In today's fast-paced lifestyle of this, everyone seems to have become patients at high risk of breast cancer, then we should do to try to prevent and avoid breast cancer happen?

Doctors recommend that women friends to understand some of the scientific knowledge of breast disease, breast self-examination to master the method, to develop a regular habit of breast self-examination, and actively participate in breast cancer screening, preventive measures.

Yao Beina, Chen Xiaoxu, those many young lives continue to fall we sounded the alarm. National consciousness is more a lack of early cancer screening, the country's health care varies, we can do is to start from the self preventive and regular medical if you really diagnosed with cancer, do not panic, listen to professional oncologist views active diagnosis and treatment.
