Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the breast tissue, usually starting in the milk ducts or lobules. It is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Treatment options depend on the stage of cancer but may include surgery (mastectomy or lumpectomy), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. The goal is to remove or destroy cancer cells, prevent recurrence, and preserve breast function and appearance.
Breast conservation surgery, also known as a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, involves removing the cancerous lump along with a margin of healthy tissue. This approach aims to preserve as much of the breast as possible while effectively treating the cancer. It is often combined with radiation therapy to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence in the treated breast.
Breast pain, medically known as mastalgia, can occur due to hormonal changes, breast infections (mastitis), benign breast conditions like fibrocystic changes, or musculoskeletal causes. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause. It may include pain relievers, hormone therapy, antibiotics for infections, supportive bras, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes like reducing caffeine intake. Regular breast self-exams and clinical breast exams are recommended to monitor changes and ensure early detection of any abnormalities.
A fibroadenoma is a benign (non-cancerous) breast tumor that commonly occurs in young women. While usually harmless, it can cause discomfort or anxiety due to its growth. Surgical excision (removal) is often recommended to confirm the diagnosis, alleviate symptoms such as pain or tenderness, and ensure it is not cancerous. The procedure involves removing the fibroadenoma while preserving the surrounding breast tissue, promoting peace of mind and optimal breast health.
Immunotherapy utilizes the body's immune system to fight cancer effectively. Techniques such as checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, and cancer vaccines enhance the immune response against cancer cells, helping to destroy them while sparing healthy tissues. Immunotherapy represents a promising treatment approach for various types of cancer.
A mastectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts, typically performed to treat breast cancer. It may involve partial or complete removal of breast tissue, nipples, and surrounding lymph nodes. Mastectomy is considered when tumors are large or aggressive, aiming to eliminate cancerous cells and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
Liver cancer treatment options include surgery (partial hepatectomy or liver transplantation), chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and ablation techniques (radiofrequency or microwave ablation) to remove or destroy cancerous cells in the liver. Treatment plans are tailored based on the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health to achieve optimal outcomes.
Pancreatic cancer treatment involves a combination of surgery (Whipple’s procedure), chemotherapy, and radiation therapy aimed at removing or shrinking tumors, managing symptoms, and improving quality of life. The complex nature of pancreatic cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach to optimize treatment outcomes and support patient well-being.
