Breast Cancer Cancer

Breast cancer is amongst the most common forms of cancers among the female population. However, with early diagnosis and the right treatment, breast cancer can be easily managed. In our opinion at Sai Vedant Hospital, early detection and treatment of cancer are very important to improve the survival rates. Our diverse range of health professionals offers a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to breast cancer at all stages.

What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer develops when the cells in the breast start multiplying abnormally, forming a mass. The cancer cells in the breast can invade the surrounding tissues as well as the entire body if breast cancer is not cured on time.

Breast cancer can occur in both men and women; however, the risk is much higher in the case of women. Awareness about this disease is helpful in its early diagnosis.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

Early detection of symptoms of breast cancer could save lives. The symptoms include:

  • A lump or thickening in the breast or underarm 

  • Change in size or shape of breast 

  • Dimpling or redness of breast skin 

  • Nipple discharge or inverted nipple.

  • Continued breast tenderness. 

Such symptoms of breast cancer might not be painful all the time; hence the importance of doing self-examinations.

Breast Cancer Kaise Hota Hai

Breast cancer arises due to genetic mutations that trigger the abnormal multiplication of breast cells. This could be due to hormonal imbalances, lifestyles, genetic makeup, or exposure to certain environments. The process takes time, leading to the development of abnormal cells that may progress to tumor development if not controlled.

Factors Causing Breast Cancer

Reasons for breast cancer could be the cumulative effect of several risk factors among the following:

  • Family history and Gene Mutations (BRCA Genes) 

  • The Rising Impact of Hormonal Changes 

  • Increasing age 

  • Obesity and failure to exercise 

  • Alcohol intake

  • Early menstruation or late menopause

Certain risk factors are not controllable, but prevailing life-style risks can be easily controlled with preventive measures.

Stages of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer staging explanation helps to identify the best course of therapy:

  1. Stage 0: Non-invasive cancer
  2. Stage I: Tumor is small and confined to the breast
  3. Stage II: Lymph nodes in the immediate surrounding area were invaded by cancer
  4. Stage III: Advanced Local Spread
  5. In stage (IV) Cancer spreads to other parts of the body.

Early diagnosis helps enhance treatment outcomes.

Treatment of Breast Cancer

Treatment for breast cancer is influenced by cancer stage, type, and the overall health status of the patient. At Sai Vedant Hospital, every individual is treated differently and by a combination of the following options:

1.Surgery for Breast Cancer 

In breast cancer, surgeries entail the removal of the tumor or the affected breast tissue in the body. These include lumpectomy and mastectomy.

2. Treatment by Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer 

Chemotherapy for breast cancer is a process wherein drugs are used with the aim of killing cancer cells or inhibiting their progress. Chemotherapy is carried out prior to or after surgery.

3. Radiation Therapy

Assists in the destruction of the cancer cells left in the body following surgery.

4. Hormone and Targeted Therapy

Used when the cancer is hormone-sensitive or has particular biological markers.

We aim for effective treatment with minimal side effects and maximal recovery.
