Along with lung and cervical cancer, it is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide. According to statistics, one in eight women in the world is at risk of developing breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of Breast Cancer<\/strong><br>\nThere are two main types of cancer: invasive (cancer that spreads) and non-invasive (cancer that does not spread).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Invasive (Spreading Breast Cancer):<\/strong><br>\nThis is a type of cancer that does not stay in the area where it starts in the breast and spreads.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ductal Breast Cancer:<\/strong><br>\nThe most common type of breast cancer can occur anywhere in the breast tissue. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ductal<\/span> It is cancer. In medical terms, it is known as Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the breast and it develops in the milk ducts of the breast. It is a type of cancer that occurs in 75% of every 100 breast cancer diagnoses worldwide and develops in the cells of the milk duct membranes in the breast and spreads to surrounding tissues. In invasive ductal breast cancer, cells detach from the ducts and can thus spread to near the lymph nodes or to any other part of the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lobular Breast Cancer:<\/strong><br>\nThis type of cancer begins in the cells of the breast lobes and spreads to the surrounding tissues. In medical terms, it is known as \u201cInvasive Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast.\u201d It accounts for 1 in every 100 breast cancer diagnoses worldwide and is usually seen in cases diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 55.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-invasive (Non-spreading breast cancer):<\/strong><br>\nThis type of cancer remains confined to the area where it begins in the breast and does not spread.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>LCIS (Lobular Carcinoma In Situ) Cancer Type:<\/strong><br>\nThese are lesions in the breast ducts where cells begin to transform into cancer cells. These lesions are located within the breast lobules and have not yet spread to the surrounding breast tissue. They are not diagnosed as cancer at first glance, but they have a high probability of developing into cancer if left untreated. A diagnosis of LCIS in a woman means she is at high risk for developing breast cancer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ) Cancer Type:<\/strong><br>\nThese are lesions in the breast milk ducts where cells have begun or are about to become cancerous. They have not yet spread to the surrounding breast tissue.

Detecting a cancerous cell in the breast is usually done manually. Tumors detected during a physical examination by a specialist or revealed by radiological analysis are usually unable to move completely within the breast. When examined manually, they appear as irregular, jagged, and jagged lumps of 1 cm or more. In addition to these symptoms,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Irritation, cracking, redness, and lesions on the breast skin,<\/li>\n<li>Symptoms of breast retraction include sores, scabbing, swelling, and excessive growth.<\/li>\n<li>The breast skin thickens and becomes like an orange peel.<\/li>\n<li>Nipple inversion and excessive sensitivity,<\/li>\n<li>The recent development of asymmetry between the breasts,<\/li>\n<li>Extreme changes in the shape and direction of the nipple,<\/li>\n<li>Painful, normal or bloody discharge, in the form of red or pink spots, from the breast.<\/li>\n<li>Formation of hardness or lumps in the armpit area of the body,<\/li>\n<li>Breast pain that occurs in women during their menstrual periods,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While these symptoms are early signs, more significant symptoms such as pain and discharge are seen in later stages of breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\" style=\"display:block; max-width:800px; margin:20px auto;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding-bottom:48%; overflow:hidden; border-radius:10px;\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sukruyazar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meme_kanseri_belirtileri.jpg\" alt=\"t\u00fcber\u00f6z meme - t\u00fcb\u00fcler meme\" style=\"position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; object-fit:cover;\">\n  <\/div>\n<p><br>\nBreast cancer is a slow-progressing cancer. A tumor that reaches a size of 1 cm in approximately 5 to 7 years can initially spread to the axillary lymph nodes via the lymphatic channels, and in later stages, it can spread to organs far from the breast, such as the liver and bones, via the bloodstream. Determining the stage of the disease is crucial for determining treatment methods. Therefore, staging is performed to determine the stage of the tumor. In this method, called TNM, T represents the diameter of the tumor, N represents the number of affected axillary lymph nodes, and M represents the extent of distant metastasis.<\/p>\n<p>Breast cancer is examined in four separate stages. Stages 1, 2, and some stages 3 are considered early-stage breast cancer. Tumors in stages 3 and 4 are considered advanced stages. Staging is based on the size of the tumor and whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Based on these factors, cancer stages are defined as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Beginning<\/strong>: (LCIS \u2013 Lobular Carcinoma In Situ), (DCIS \u2013 Ductal Carcinoma In Situ)<\/p>\n<p>Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (LCIS) refers to abnormal cells in the lobule and is an indicator of a high risk of cancer in the breasts. Women with LCIS have a high risk of developing cancer in both breasts later on.<\/p>\n<p>Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) is a precancerous condition in the duct. The abnormal cells have not spread outside the duct into the breast tissue. If left untreated, DCIS becomes cancer that can spread.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stage: Indicates that the tumor is smaller than 2 cm and has not spread to the lymph nodes.<\/li>\n<li>Stage: Indicates that the tumor has a width of 2-5 cm and may or may not have spread to surrounding lymph nodes.<\/li>\n<li>Stage: Indicates that the tumor has spread further to the surrounding lymph nodes.<\/li>\n<li>Stage: Indicates whether the tumor has spread to organs such as bone, brain, lungs, or liver, or to lymph nodes distant from the bone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Diagnosis Stages in Breast Cancer<\/strong><br>\nAs with all types of cancer, early detection is crucial in breast cancer. Breast cancer diagnosed early is easier to treat, and the chances of success are quite high. For early detection, women should perform self-examinations of their breasts in front of a mirror once a month, starting from the age of 20, checking for pain, lumps, cysts, etc.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The chance and secret to success in breast cancer treatment is closely related to how early the cancer is detected. Please do not neglect to take the time for diagnosis and detection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Experts recommend that women between the ages of 30 and 40 have a breast ultrasound, and those over 40 have a mammogram once a year. In breast cancer cases, 8 out of 10 lumps detected during examination are analyzed as benign. The presence of a lump in the breast, whether painful or painless, does not necessarily mean cancer; however, such lumps require immediate medical attention upon first detection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is breast cancer treated?<\/strong><br>\nBreast cancer treatment varies depending on the stage of the tumor. In stage 0, chemotherapy is not usually needed after surgery, but radiotherapy may be added to the treatment. Stages 1 and 2, due to the small size of the tumor, may require surgery and chemotherapy. Stage 3 requires chemotherapy followed by surgery. Stage 4 may require surgical intervention if the cancerous tumor has not spread to a large area of the body. If the cancer has spread to a large area, only chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used. Surgery is not recommended for patients in this situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Surgical Methods Used in Breast Cancer Treatment<\/p>\n<p>Breast cancer surgery is performed to completely remove the tumor and, in cases where the cancer has spread to the armpit, to completely remove the lymph nodes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mastectomy<\/li>\n<li>Breast-conserving surgery<\/li>\n<li>Lymph node surgery<\/li>\n<li>Breast reconstruction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Have you met Prof. Dr. \u015e\u00fckr\u00fc Yazar, considered one of T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s best Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery specialists, who has extensive experience and a reputation for breast reconstruction procedures after breast cancer in women?)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sukruyazar.com\/en\/about-us\/\">Who is \u015e\u00fckr\u00fc Yazar?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sukruyazar.com\/en\/meme-onarimi\/\">Breast Reconstruction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sukruyazar.com\/en\/meme-estetigi\/\">Breast Aesthetics<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Drug Treatments Used in Breast Cancer<\/p>\n<p>In breast cancer cases, drug treatments are applied taking into account the stage of the tumor. The most commonly used treatment method is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy, usually administered after surgical interventions, may be continued for a while as a preventive measure even after all cancerous cells are removed following surgery.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hormone Therapy\n<p>The main goal of this treatment method is to reduce the amount of hormones in cancer patients. Cancer cells are more sensitive to estrogen, which causes the tumor to grow and spread faster.<strong>.<\/strong> Therefore, by eliminating the effect of estrogen through hormone therapy, the rapid progression of cancer is prevented.<\/p>\n<p>It has been observed that very successful results are obtained in breast cancer patients with the use of newly produced hormonal treatment drugs together with targeted smart drugs.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Smart Treatments\n<p>Breast cancer is a disease that requires treatments specific to the tumor shape and the individual. Today, much more effective chemotherapy drugs are available than in the past, and it has become possible to increase targeted effects by administering them intravenously and orally.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Is there a risk of breast cancer being transmitted?<\/strong><br>\nLike other types of cancer, breast cancer is not contagious. One individual cannot transmit cancer to another.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How can I protect myself from breast cancer?<\/strong><br>\nThere is no complete protection against breast cancer. Healthy eating, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and exercising can only reduce its incidence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What do palpable lumps and cysts in the breast mean?<\/strong><br>\nA woman may experience palpable lumps or cysts in her breasts. These are common benign tumors that do not turn cancerous, such as fibroadenomas (solid, non-fluid masses) and fibrocysts (fluid-filled cysts). Frequently seen in women aged 25-30, the nature of these lumps and cysts is determined through breast ultrasound or mammography.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When should a breast exam be performed?<\/strong><br>\nBreast examinations are recommended by specialist doctors to be performed 4-5 days after a woman\u2019s menstrual period ends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the effect of sugary food consumption on the development of breast cancer?<\/strong><br>\nMaintaining your ideal weight helps protect you from the risk of breast cancer. While sugar doesn\u2019t have a direct effect, maintaining a healthy body structure should always be considered important.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When should the first ultrasound and mammogram check-ups be done?<\/strong><br>\nGetting a mammogram and ultrasound between the ages of 35-40, and then undergoing routine mammogram screenings after the age of 40, is essential for early detection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Does breast cancer kill?<\/strong><br>\nThanks to advances in medicine, early detection of breast cancer has reduced deaths from this disease today.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can men get breast cancer?<\/strong><br>\nMen can also develop breast cancer. It usually occurs in their 60s. The tumor is firm and painless, and is attached to the skin of the breast and the chest wall. The cancer type is typically NST Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in 85% of cases or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) in 15%. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma and other types of cancer are very rare. Like women, male breast cancer also has stages, and treatment is planned according to the stage. Treatment methods include mastectomy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can you get breast cancer during pregnancy?<\/strong><br>\nGestational breast cancer occurs in 1-2 women per 6000 people. Breast cancer, frequently diagnosed after childbirth and breastfeeding, often develops at an advanced stage in pregnant women. This is due to increased levels of estrogen (female hormone) and progesterone (hormone that prepares women for pregnancy). Diagnosis can be made using ultrasonography, needle biopsy, or, if necessary, open biopsy. Mammography is not used during pregnancy and breastfeeding because sensitivity is lower. Due to the harmful effects of radiotherapy on both mother and baby, treatment is performed during the first and second trimesters (the three equal 12-week periods of pregnancy). Radiotherapy that should be done in the third trimester can be postponed until after delivery, allowing for breast-conserving surgical procedures. Chemotherapy, when performed in the first trimester, can cause miscarriage and various pregnancy complications, so it is postponed to the second trimester. If a breast tumor is found during the third trimester of pregnancy, chemotherapy is started 1-2 weeks early, with a planned delivery date.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Are there any benefits to supportive medicine and herbal remedies in the treatment of breast cancer?<\/strong><br>\nSpecialist physicians monitoring breast cancer treatment processes are hesitant to use herbal remedies as supportive medicine due to potential incompatibility with treatment and potential side effects. Herbal treatments applied without the knowledge of doctors may initially have positive psychological effects on patients, but ultimately lead back to the scientific battle against cancer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How much do the procedures for treating breast cancer cost?<\/strong><br>\nCancer treatment involves methods that require the collaboration of many different specialties. The cost of breast cancer treatment varies depending on where and with which doctor you receive treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kad\u0131nlarda s\u00fct\u00fcn \u00fcretildi\u011fi meme dokusunun i\u00e7erisindeki lob\u00fcllerde, s\u00fct bezlerinde ya da memelerdeki s\u00fct drenaj kanallar\u0131nda olu\u015fabilen ve karekterine g\u00f6re yay\u0131labilen-\u00e7o\u011falabilen kanserlere meme kanseri denilmektedir.
