Breast Clinic Cancer Surgery Clinic
Every single day, over 100 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. Even though it is mostly prevalent in women, breast cancer has become the most common cancer in the UK. Thanks to new screening processes and medical advancements, the death rate from breast cancer has fallen by more than one-third since 1980, but if you are one of the 100 women to be diagnosed today, tomorrow, or ever- statistics are not going to make you feel better. The only thing that helps is knowing that you are receiving the best possible treatment available, and that can only be achieved by the Breast Clinic Cancer Surgery Clinic.
My Doctor Says I Have Breast Cancer, But What Is It?
To put it simply, breast cancer is a tumour that begins in the cells in breast tissue. The cancer cells begin taking over healthy tissue and if the tumour is malignant, it can begin to spread to other areas of the body. Victims of breast cancer are almost always women, but it’s not impossible for men to be affected as well. Of the more than 46,000 cases each year, about 300 of them are men.
At the beginning of your diagnosis, the most important thing that will need to be done is checking to see that the cancer has not spread into the lymph nodes under the arms. If this occurs, the chance of the cancer spreading into the bloodstream is much higher and this means that cancer may now be found in other organs as well.
Most breast cancer begins with a lump. One day you notice a strange lump in your breast that was not there before and suddenly everything changes. If you do discover a lump, do not panic; many times these are just masses called cysts. Cysts are just fluid filled sacs that are often found before or during menstruation. Still, be sure to call your doctor right away just to make sure that there is nothing serious to be worried about.
