Malignant breast cancer

Even if female patients find out that they have breast cancer, they should maintain a happy mood, because mood has a decisive influence on the pathological condition of breast cancer. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops from tumors, so it is divided into benign breast cancer and malignant breast cancer. Malignant breast cancer is more serious than benign breast cancer. At this time, female patients will also be more worried about how long they can live after suffering from malignant breast cancer?

Breast cancer is one of the diseases that seriously endangers women's life and health. Many female friends are troubled by breast cancer and develop panic and despair. So, how long can you live with malignant breast cancer?

How long a person can live with malignant breast cancer is affected by the following factors:

1. Mentality: Patients should not be frightened by breast cancer, which will affect their attitude towards treatment.

2. Physical fitness: The patient's physical function is also an important factor in determining how long a breast cancer patient can live. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments.

3. Tumor staging: If the patient's breast cancer is in the early stage, the cure rate is very high. In the middle and late stages, the patient's survival time will vary depending on the treatment method.

In fact, it is impossible to generalize how long a patient with malignant breast cancer can live, and it should not be associated with death. As long as breast cancer is discovered and treated in time, the disease can still be cured. Therefore, experts from Deshengmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital remind everyone that early detection and early treatment can not only reduce the pain of patients, but also allow them to receive better treatment, which is beneficial to the body. We hope that all patients can recover their health soon.

1. Painless mass: often the first symptom, characterized by invasive growth of the mass. Even if the lump is very small, it may cause skin adhesion if it involves the suspensory ligament of the breast. Larger lumps may have symptoms such as skin edema, orange peel-like changes, nipple retraction or depression, and lymphadenopathy; skin satellite nodules and even ulcers may appear in the later stages. Experts from Changchun Union Hospital said that this disease should be differentiated from benign breast lesions such as inflammatory masses, breast hyperplasia and benign tumors in the early stages.

2. Nipple discharge: It is rare for breast cancer to have nipple discharge as the only symptom, and most cases are accompanied by breast lumps. Generally, the discharge is more bloody and bloody is common.

3. Nipple changes: When the fibrous tissue and duct system of the breast are infiltrated by the lesion and shortened, the nipple is pulled and tilted toward the tumor side. Further progression of the disease may cause the nipple to become flat, retracted, or inverted, or even completely sink under the areola, making the nipple invisible. Sometimes, due to contracture of the fibrous tissue in the breast, the entire breast is lifted, and clinically it can be seen that the nipples on both sides are not at the same level. Nipple erosion is a typical symptom of eczematous carcinoma.

4. Local skin depression, like a dimple, is called the "dimple sign". In addition, direct adhesion of the tumor to the skin may also cause this situation. The dimple sign can appear at an early stage of breast cancer and is more obvious when the affected arm moves up and down.

5. Skin ulceration: When the tumor develops to the late stage, the lump grows larger and may cause the skin to bulge. If there is insufficient blood supply, the skin may become red and thin, and ulceration may occur. Patients often experience pain, which is sometimes severe and unbearable. Since there is a large amount of necrotic tissue and bloody secretions oozing out of the wound, patients often show signs of weight loss and anemia.

6. Pain: What are the symptoms of breast cancer? Most patients with breast cancer lack pain symptoms. Breast cancer is not easily detected early because pain rarely occurs. The pain often manifests as tingling, distension or dull pain in the breast. If the cancer is accompanied by cystic breast hyperplasia, periodic pain may also occur.
