| Symptom Breast Cancer |
The outlook for women with breast cancer continues to improve. Due to increased awareness, early detection opportunities and advances in treatment, survival rates are steadily increasing. In the United States, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the campaign is designed to increase breast cancer awareness. There are many organizations that support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and provide assistance in early detection planning. Organizations put together breast cancer fundraisers such as walks and events that support breast cancer research and help fund socioeconomically disadvantaged patients.
Symptoms of breast cancer
There may or may not be symptoms of breast cancer. Some women may discover the problem on their own, while others may detect the first abnormality in a screening test. Common breast cancer symptoms are:
- Painless lump or mass
- Lump or swelling under the arm
- Breast skin changes or discharge
- Noticeable flattening or indentation of the breast
- Changes in nipples
- Abnormal nipple discharge
- Changes in the feel, size, or shape of breast tissue
Types of breast cancer
Types of breast cancer can be inflammatory, invasive ductal carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ, and invasive lobular carcinoma.
- Inflammatory breast cancer: This causes a lump or mass in the breast and usually grows more quickly.
- Invasive ductal carcinoma: It invades the inside of the ductal ducts of the breast and can spread to the breast tissue.
- Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): This invades the inside of the ductal ducts of the breast but has not invaded them.
- Invasive lobular carcinoma: It invades the lobules of the breast and can spread to the breast tissue.
- Knowing the symptoms and types of breast cancer is just the beginning. It is very important to recognize early symptoms, so that treatment can be started in time. Care should be taken in breast cancer treatment.
- Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a very rare type of cancer, which is a benign form of ductal carcinoma of the breast. In this type of cancer, the abnormal cells "float" in pools of mucin, which is part of the thin, slippery substance known as "mucus" that is part of the breast pool. This type of cancer cells can be located in the mucous lines of the breast.
- The "pure" type of mucinous carcinoma is extremely rare, making up only 2-3% of breast cancers. This type of cancer is rare among other breast cancers, but some affected patients may have an admixture of mucinous material.
- This type of cancer is known primarily as breast cancer, where cancer cells collect in or around the breast. Symptoms of this disease are scaly, red, itchy and sore nipples on the surface of the breast and in the areola.
- The causes of this disease of breast cancer can be different. Genetic factors, lifestyle, medical effects - all can cause this. For example, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes increase the risk of the disease. Also, the type may be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunosuppressive drugs.
Breast Cancer Prevention and Mammograms:
A mammogram is an early step in breast cancer detection. A mammogram is an X-ray test of the breast that helps detect tumors. It detects cancer symptoms at a very early stage and establishes them before they change. During a mammogram, both surfaces of your breast are compressed and an X-ray image is then created which the doctor examines.

| 3D Image Breast Cancer |
- Breast MRI is another important test that produces detailed, 3D images of the breast. It works using magnets and radio waves. Also, ultrasound and self-examination can be done.
- Breast self-examination is an easy way to do it yourself. This helps alert your doctor to any unusual changes in your breasts. Also, biopsy is a natural test that helps determine the specific type of breast cancer.
- A lump or lump in the breast is a common condition that is not a sign of breast cancer, but any unusual changes require a doctor's consultation.
- Breast self-examination and awareness can contribute to the prevention of breast cancer. It is important to keep yourself hygienic and get checked regularly.

| Needle Biopsy |
- A needle biopsy is an instrument used to take a sample of tissue or cells from the breast. It may be used for palpable masses or palpable lumps, so the doctor can remove the tissue using a local anesthetic. Samples are usually taken by needle at the preparation stage.
- In core needle biopsy, if a lump is felt in the breast, the doctor can help numb the skin and breast tissue around the area. The doctor will then use the needle to take a sample of the tissue.
Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy is an advanced procedure, used for palpable masses. It positions the needle with the help of ultrasound so that the tissue can be removed precisely.
- For an MRI-guided core needle biopsy examination, you will be given a contrast agent to identify suspicious areas on the necropsy image. A needle will then be used in a biopsy device to take a sample of tissue.
- Local anesthetic is used when necessary for stereotactic biopsy examination. The radiologist makes a small opening and a tissue sample is taken with a needle.
- Surgical biopsy is performed by a surgeon to remove tissue through a cut in the breast.
Excisional biopsy removes a lump and examines it under a microscope. Incisional biopsy is an incisional
biopsy that removes small parts, after which further treatment may be needed to remove the paralysis.
A doctor's consultation is very important to find out if a breast biopsy procedure is necessary.
