How high is the malignancy rate of breast burrs

A breast tumor with rough edges is not necessarily a malignant tumor, but if a breast tumor has rough edges, the possibility of it being a malignant tumor is very high. Because generally healthy tumors are all filmy and have a smooth surface, once burrs appear, it proves that the shape of the tumor is irregular and may be bulging outward, or the tumor may have invaded the surrounding tissues, causing cancer invasion. So what is the rate of malignant transformation of breast burrs?

What is the rate of malignant transformation of breast burrs?

If there are changes in the breast with rough edges, breast cancer is highly suspected, and it is also important to see whether the lump inside is of high or low density. If the density is high, and the boundaries are unclear and show rough-edge signs, sometimes there are calcification points per cube. If there are more than fifteen calcification points, the possibility of breast cancer is very high, and a cytological test is needed. Somatic cell puncture biopsy can confirm whether it is breast cancer. If this kind of rough-edge change occurs under B-ultrasound, it may be caused by inflammation. Inflammation can also cause hard lumps. Magnetic resonance imaging is needed to further examine whether it is caused by breast cancer or inflammatory lumps.

Therefore, once a breast tumor is found to have rough edges, the possibility of it being a malignant tumor is actually very high. However, this does not mean that it is definitely a malignant tumor; there is also the possibility of a good tumor.

Once a breast tumor is found to have rough edges, a tumor cytology puncture can be performed. If the puncture shows malignant transformation, then it is basically malignant. If the puncture is successful but cannot be completely cleared, it is still recommended to perform rapid pathology of the breast lump and do a final pathology examination to be completely relieved.

What are the methods to treat breast cancer rough edge sign?

Breast-conserving surgery is currently the most popular surgical method for patients. To put it simply, breast-conserving surgery means preserving the patient's breast to the greatest extent possible while removing the cancerous tumor. This has little impact on the patient's appearance, so it is very popular among patients. However, some patients with extremely serious conditions cannot choose this treatment. Patients who undergo breast-conserving surgery generally also need axillary lymph node clearance surgery and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Axillary lymph node dissection can be performed at the same time as or after breast-conserving surgery, and the surgical incision is usually separate.

The incidence of breast cancer continues to rise. Although treatment technology has been continuously evolving and improving, every year there are still patients who lose their lives due to cancer cell metastasis, which means the ineffectiveness of treatment. Breast cancer chemotherapy is one of the original treatment methods, and the more important way to solve this problem at present is to develop truly effective breast cancer chemotherapy drugs with less toxic side effects. Among various cancers, breast cancer is a tumor that is relatively sensitive to new anti-cancer drugs. Therefore, the choice of breast cancer chemotherapy plan has always played a key role in the comprehensive treatment of breast cancer.
