Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. It occurs due to the abnormal growth of cells in the breast tissue, often leading to the formation of lumps or thickened tissue. Early detection and timely breast cancer treatment significantly improve the chances of a full recovery.

In India, breast cancer treatment is not only highly advanced but also cost-effective, attracting patients from across the globe.

Breast Cancer Symptoms

The early sign of breast cancer typically occurs when there is a lump or thickened tissue in the breast or any of the armpits. Apart from that, there are other symptoms that could possibly indicate that the patient has breast cancer. So, patients dealing with any of the following symptoms may need breast cancer surgery.

1. Lump in the Breast or Underarm

• A hard lump or thickening in the breast or underarm area that feels different from the surrounding tissue is one of the most common symptoms.
• These lumps are usually painless, but some may cause discomfort.

2. Change in Breast Size or Shape

• Noticeable changes in the size or shape of one breast compared to the other.
• Swelling in a part of the breast, even without a lump.

3. Skin Changes on the Breast

• Dimpling or puckering of the skin, making it look like the surface of an orange (peau d’orange).
• Redness, rash, or flaky skin on the breast or nipple.

4. Nipple Changes

• Inverted nipple or changes in the position of the nipple.
• Unusual discharge from the nipple, which may be clear, yellow, or blood-tinged.

5. Breast or Nipple Pain

• Persistent pain in a specific area of the breast or nipple that doesn’t go away.

6. Swelling or Lumps in Nearby Areas

• Swelling in the armpit or collarbone due to affected lymph nodes.

7. Unexplained Weight Loss or Fatigue

• Although less specific, unexplained weight loss or persistent fatigue can be a symptom of advanced cancer.

8. Changes in Texture or Temperature of the Breast

• The breast may feel warmer or appear swollen and tender.

9. Thickening of the Breast Skin

• Areas of the skin may feel thicker or firmer than usual.

Not all breast changes indicate cancer. Benign conditions like cysts or fibroadenomas can cause similar symptoms. If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult Dania Medicare Solutions for proper evaluation.

Investigations Required To Diagnose Breast Cancer

Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. Doctors use several diagnostic methods to detect and confirm breast cancer, including:

Breast Exam: The doctor assesses the lymph nodes in the armpit and breasts to observe the presence of any lumps or abnormalities.

Ultrasound: It helps to show a picture of the breast and its deep tissues. The picture clearly differentiates between a solid lump-like tumor and a mild cyst.

Mammogram: The doctor takes the help of this imaging test to check the surface below the breast. This is done when the doctor suspects that the patient may have a suspicious spot or tumor.

MRI: This is done to get a detailed picture of the breast area.

Biopsy: A biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing breast cancer. It involves removing a small tissue or fluid sample from the breast for laboratory analysis. Types of biopsies include:

• Core biopsy
• Fine-needle aspiration
• Open biopsy

Types of Breast Cancer Surgery in India

There are different types of breast cancer surgery performed by doctors in India to eliminate cancer cells. This includes:

Lumpectomy: This involves the removal of the tumor and its surrounding tissues affected by the disease.

Mastectomy: Under this procedure, the surgeon removes the entire breast to eliminate breast cancer. In the case of a double mastectomy, both breasts get removed from the body.

Breast conservation surgery (BCS): In this process, the surgeon eliminates cancer from the body while conserving the normal breast as much as possible. Some normal functioning tissues and lymph nodes may also get removed. Nonetheless, depending on the quantity of tissue removed, this procedure is referred to as the lumpectomy or quadrantectomy, a partial mastectomy or a segmental mastectomy.

Success Rate of Breast Cancer Treatment

The success rate of breast cancer treatment largely depends on the stage at which the cancer is diagnosed. Early-stage breast cancer (stages 0 and 1) has a survival rate of over 90%, while later stages may require more aggressive treatment. Advances in technology and expert care in India have significantly improved outcomes for patients at all stages.
