Ten myths about the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer

Myth: Breast cancer is always accompanied by the presence of the seals

Fact: While mammary gland seal and in fact may be a sign of breast cancer (and other diseases), it is observed not all women who were subsequently diagnosed a serious disease.

Myth: Mammograms with absolute precision allows to detect breast cancer at an early stage

Fact: According to experts, a mammogram reveals breast cancer is only 85% - 90% of cases. Although the vast majority of breast abnormalities can indeed be detected by mammography, some anomalies impossible to detect. For example, the abnormality sometimes goes unnoticed for the reason that the surrounding breast tissue have the same density as the abnormal tissue. If you find a lump or any other change in the breast and mammography has given a negative result (not confirmed the presumptive diagnosis), you should still see a doctor and undergo a complete examination to determine whether the tumor is not cancerous.

Myth: nipple discharge - one of the signs of breast cancer

Fact: in most cases, isolation of the breast are not yet indicate the presence of malignancy. Unexplained allocation (opaque or transparent, breast consistency) appear about 20% of women, so it's not so rare. Approximately 60% of women are discharge from the nipple appear during self-examination of the breast. As a rule, transparent, white, yellow or greenish discharge does not indicate the presence of breast cancer. But bloody or watery discharge Watery discharge: Signs rules and conditions   already considered an anomaly, but only 10% of such abnormal discharge is a sign of breast cancer Signs of breast cancer - unusual manifestations . In most cases, spotting Spotting - it is important to rule out pathology   caused by the presence of non-malignant warts.

Myth: Most breast cancer - a death sentence

Fact: Yes, breast cancer is indeed the second largest cause of death for women (after lung cancer), but this diagnosis does not mean that you are doomed to die. Approximately 80% of women who heard the diagnosis, no metastases (ie, the cancer has not spread to nearby organs and lymph nodes). Approximately 80% of these 80% after the detection of the disease live at least another foot of years, and many much longer. Even patients with metastases can live a few more years. In addition, we should not forget about the rapid progress in the treatment of this disease.

Myth: If breast cancer diseased breast removed

Fact: Cancer Treatment Cancer Treatment - difficult, but necessary   Breast really in many cases involves surgery. However, gentle treatment of breast cancer (breast tumor removal, followed by radiation therapy) is increasingly used for the treatment of breast cancer at an early stage (such as ductal carcinoma in situ).

Myth: Mastectomy ensures complete protection against the development of breast cancer in the future

Fact: mastectomy (removal of the affected breast disease) does not guarantee complete protection against the disease in the future. Some women relapse of breast cancer in situ after mastectomy scar. Also, it does not exclude the possibility that the disease has had time to spread to lymph nodes or other organs of the body, in which case one is not enough to treat mastectomy. It is also important to remember that breast tissue extends to the neck, under the arms and placed on the chest, so that even after a mastectomy some of their number still remains. Mastectomy really significantly reduces the likelihood of a recurrence RG, but this possibility exists as long as the woman's body is the breast tissue.

Myth: The elderly women do not have to take the full course of therapy

Fact: The mortality rate of older women suffering from WG is growing steadily, which can be explained by the fact that many older women neglect treatment after diagnosis. Although older women the disease develops slowly, it takes an aggressive and rapidly spreads to other organs of the body.

Myth: lack of RG within five after the diagnosis of the disease is full recovery

Fact: Although some types of cancer five years of life after diagnosis and treatment actually means recovery, WP is not concerned. WG relapse probability is particularly high in the first two years after treatment, but this disease can develop again at any time and anywhere over a period of time no matter how many years have passed from the time of diagnosis.

Myth: positive thinking prolongs life after breast cancer treatment

Fact: optimism and a positive attitude to the disease significantly improves quality of life, but there is no evidence to show that positive thinking increases the chances of survival. Sometimes, however, optimistic - the only thing left in the face of illness, the only thing that makes getting up in the morning. But feelings of sadness, anger and fear is absolutely natural in the case of disease WG. Flashy or false optimism only exacerbates loneliness and hinders the fight against the disease. Do not kid yourself and others, do not hide their true feelings and be sure to take the support of loved ones.
