Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment You Can Trust
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, though it can also occur in men. It develops when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, forming a lump or mass that may spread to other parts of the body if not treated in time. While genetics and family history can play a role, other factors such as age, hormonal changes, obesity, alcohol use, and lack of physical activity may also increase the risk.
Early detection plays a critical role in successful treatment. Some warning signs include a lump in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, nipple discharge or inversion, persistent pain, and changes in the skin over the breast such as dimpling or redness. However, not all lumps are cancerous, making timely medical evaluation and screening essential.
Diagnosis typically involves mammography, ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy to confirm the presence and type of cancer. Once diagnosed, treatment options are personalized depending on the stage, type of breast cancer, and overall health of the patient.
