Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form (cancerous) in breast tissue.
The breast is made up of lobes and ducts. Each breast has 15 to 20 sections called lobes, which have many smaller sections called lobules. Lobules end in dozens of tiny bulbs that can produce milk. The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are linked by thin tubes called ducts.
Anatomy of the female breast: They show the nipple and areola on the outside of the breast. Also shown are the lymph nodes, the lobes, lobules, ducts and other parts of the interior of the breast.
Each breast also has blood vessels and lymph vessels. The lymph vessels carry an almost colorless fluid called lymph. The lymph vessels lead to small organs called lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small structures shaped bean found throughout the body. They filter substances in a fluid called lymph and help fight infection and disease. Clusters of lymph nodes near the breast in the axilla (under arm), above the collarbone and chest.
The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the cells of the ducts. Cancer that begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular carcinoma and is most often found in both breasts than other types of breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare type of cancer for which the breast is warm, red and swollen.
Call your doctor if you notice changes in the breast. You can use the following tests or procedures:
Physical exam and history:An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. Also note the background of the patient's health habits and medical history of your past illnesses and treatments.
Blood chemistry studies:A procedure in which checks a blood sample to measure the amounts of certain substances that organs and tissues released into the blood. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease in the organ or tissue that makes it.
Biopsy:The removal of cells or tissue for a pathologist to look at under a microscope to check for signs of cancer. If you find a lump in the breast, the doctor may need to remove a small amount of mass. Four types of biopsies are as follows:
Excisional biopsy: The removal of an entire mass of tissue.
Incisional biopsy: The removal of part of a lump or a tissue sample.
Core biopsy: The removal of tissue using a wide needle.
Biopsy fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy: The removal of tissue or fluid using a thin needle.
If cancer is present tests are performed to study cancer cells.
Alternative medicine to help the breast cancer cure:
The good news is the arrival of graviola extract to the market. The graviola extract is obtained from the leaves of the Graviola tree also known as "Annona muricata". The extract proves to be more potent than dried herbs or capsules which lose the potency of the key ingredients quickly. The extract as popularized by our company is more effective than teas or other types of infusion and is easily assimilated upon digestion.
There are several studies which show that the fame of Graviola as a natural anti-cancer. Scientific studies at Purdue University in Indiana, USA and Japan, have demonstrated exceptional benefits for the treatment of certain types of cancers, especially those located in the lung, breast, pancreas and prostate.
Its effective activity is due to its high content of acetogenins, substances with a Adriomicina like activity, which is used in chemotherapy, but unlike the latter, its action is selective on cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It is said that the acetogenins is about 10,000 times more effective than Adriamycin.
Graviola contains many enzymes critical to combat different types of cancer: Annomuricina (noni) and Muricatocinas A and B, cytotoxic effects against lung cancer and human cancer cells, as well as ls identified as cancer cells MCF-7. The Annopentocinas A (1) and Anomutacina, efective cytotoxic against pancreatic carcinoma, medullar, liver and colon.
