Contrary to what most people think - especially women - breast cancer is not unique in its category and has different types of disease that deserve special attention and reacts according to the body of its host.
When breast cancer begins to develop in the human body, it generally causes breast cells (known as breast cells), causing them to multiply uncontrollably and disorderly, which ends up changing the shape and size of the breast accordingly.
Like most acts of this type of cancer in the breast duct, his best-known version goes by the name of Ductal Carcinoma, may be in situ - when only limited to the first cells of this duct - or known as the attacker, when there is limited more cells and only begins to reach the tissues around it.
A second type of breast cancer goes by the name of Lobular Carcinoma, precisely because of its characteristic of having its beginnings originated in the lobes of the breast, although this type is not as common to be found. Despite this infrequently diagnosed in general has the characteristic of achieving both breasts.
There are many other types of breast cancer found that although less frequently, have the same performance with treatment developed by the medical and equally respected by most patients. With the union of these two forces, without prejudice, breast cancer is being tackled very efficiently.

Pictures Of Breast Cancer
Many patients when they have breast cancer diagnosed readily seek all kinds of information about the disease, how to fight it and how to overcome all obstacles. Through the exchange of statements and photos of the treatment, these patients take courage to face the challenge.
A simple web search can display many photos of surgery and treatment of breast cancer, showing step by step without the need to indicate what the person owns the body on display. Through these photos, the patient can see how the surgery is performed, as your body may change later, exactly how and where will the cuts and everything that can be avoided to allow the body remains in its original form the best possible way.
Many magazines and disease prevention centers have been dedicated enough to display pictures of breast cancer in an attempt to educate the entire population - especially women who are most affected by the disease. These pictures are shown how to perform the test from the tap itself to the pictures of how the disease develops in the body and how the body can stay if no treatment is not performed.
To view some shocking photos of breast cancer has helped many women become aware of the need to care for themselves and start preventing disease, improving their quality of individual life, which has considerably reduced the rate of disease in many regions of the country .

Human Breast Cancer
Although breast cancer currently reaches one in every twenty women in Brazil, it is not an exclusively female disease, although admittedly most of the audience is really hit women. Despite the low rate, the disease also manifests itself in men.
When comparing the rate of men and women affected by breast cancer, the first are at an advantage, occurring in every man in comparison with each one hundred women. Despite the low frequency - and therefore the low level of interest from the scientific community to study and explore this kind of manifestation in nature - it is increasingly easy to find the testimony of a man who has been affected by this disease. His low voice in the market should be purely for the great prejudice of the community with the disease.
Breast cancer will generally reach the man with older age, as the case may happen. In general a range greater than sixty years, the man knows the realization of self-examination by touch, which makes tumor control while still being benign, since most patients will only seek help - when they seek - when the tumor is already in advanced development and the only possible solutions are surgery and radiotherapy.
Once they overcome the prejudice against himself, man must still face the prejudice from friends and society. If we all could be conscious, perhaps many men could look better and prevent the development of breast cancer themselves.

Carcinoma Mama
Cancer is a group of more than 100 diseases that allow some cells to multiply wildly, invading tissues and organs. This growth may lead to tumors, which are often known as malignant, the times in which the cells multiplied no longer correspond exactly to the original. Then they are known as malignant.
Benign tumors undergo a training process very similar, indeed almost the same. The cells begin to multiply wildly, with no natural explanation, but in this case, when analyzed, they have very few changes compared to its original and not life-threatening for the person.
Treatment of these diseases remains a challenge to modern medicine, as a result of treatment is very different from one organism to another, from one person to another. Factors that may lead to the development of a tumor may be external and internal. As we mention outside smoking and sun exposure can cause lung cancer and skin, respectively, to internal factors, quoted principalmenteo genetic code, since people with a history of cancer in the family may have a greater chance of risk of contracting the disease .
A very common and well researched in recent years is breast cancer, which has increased in women. Breast carcinoma, as it is called a malignant tumor, attacks mostly women, who should get tested regularly touch after 40 years to check for breast lumps. Whilst not offering great danger to life, the risk cases are on average 52 per 100 thousand women.

Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, and is most often a benign tumor. Nevertheless, it is very important to follow all the family history of cases and, when perceived nodules, monitor and evaluate the growth removed promptly.
These diseases occur when cells begin to multiply wildly and can reach other cells and tissues around them. As they enter the bloodstream, they can also infect other organs and tissues, thanks to the characteristics of metastasis, of malignant cases themselves. Moreover, in benign cases, the tumors did not usually grow too much and does not spread to other tissues or organs.
The easiest way for women to identify this type of disease is still performing a mammogram, which is a kind of x-ray of the breasts, and can verify the presence of nodules that can not yet be felt by breast self-exams and palpable touch . Performing tests such as mammography, the diagnosis of breast cancer is immediate, and if so, can be treated and eliminated with a much better chance of success.
It is important to remember that self-physical examination, palpate the breasts, does not replace the examination with the doctor, who can assess and recognize disorders and injuries millimeter, which can be treated quickly, without the patient suffers, for example, with removal of a breast, which is psychologically devastating for women. The self-examination, while recognizing the tumor physically, may delay the treatment of smaller tumors, which are still perceptible to the touch. Thus, it is always advisable to consult a doctor periodically over the 40 years of age.

Signs Of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is cancer that affects the breast tissue. Once this tissue is so common in women as in men, both sexes are prone to develop this type of cancer. Although, in males, the incidence is less than 1% of diagnoses. Moreover, in women, is the second leading cause of fatal diseases classified as carcinogenic.
The epithelial tumors (carcinomas) may be of lobular or ductal (most common) and rarely sarcomas (connective tissue originated).
Breast cancer does not cause physical pain (probably in the later stages of the disease), so the importance of doing breast self-examination for early identification. Through self-examination can detect signs of illness such as a change in the shape of the breast, hardening of the breast, appearance of lumps in the breast or under the arm (and in 90% of cases are benign. Already malignant, usually are solitary, in a single breast), retraction of the breast skin or nipple, significant bloating, breast pain, redness and continuous secretion by a duct (spontaneous and bloody).
People with family cases, both the cancer and the other, should have careful attention to prevent the onset of the disease or prevent its expansion. For those cases with no family, but they are in the age of greatest number of cases (between 40 and 60 years), self-examination is essential. Overweight women with more reproductive phase, with high levels of estrogen receptor positive are more likely to develop the disorder.
