By Deepa K - The cancer found in the cells of the breast is Breast cancer. A mass of breast tissue that is growing in an abnormal and uncontrolled way is a cancerous tumor. A cancerous tumor may attack the surrounding tissues or shed cells into the blood stream or lymph system. After lung cancer, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer found world wide and fifth most common cause of cancer death. This is the most common cause of cancer among women in incidence as well as death. It caused 502,000 deaths worldwide in 2005. The number of cancer cases increased from 1970 which should be blamed on the modern styles of the present day world. Breast cancer is the most feared disease by women than the much more common fatal heart attack among women. The death rates for this cancer are declining for the last few years.


This type of cancer also occurs in men as the breast in males and females consists of same type of tissues. But it is 100 times lesser than the women and it has the same survival rates as women. The tumor in the breast is very hard to feel and have and irregular shape and not smooth. During a breast self exam the cancerous tumor may not move but the tissues around the tumor may move.

The cancer begins as single or more cells which lost its control of differentiation and increase but remains restricted with in the basement membrane of the duct. These divides and they invade the basement membrane of the duct and ultimately spread to distant organs also.

Four different classification or groups based on different reason and have a different purpose describes breast cancer: 
(a) Pathology - Each tumor based on its histological appearance and for other reasons is categorized by the pathologist. The categories are invasive ductal carcinoma, malignant cancer in the ducts of the breast, invasive lobular carcinoma and the malignant cancer in the breast lobules.
(b) The pathologist determines the histological grade of the tumor under a microscope. A low grade tumor resembles normal tissue. A high grade tumor does not look like a normal tissue and composed of disorganized cells. Intermediate grade is in between the high and low grade.
(c) All breast cancers should be tested for expression or detectable effect of the estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2/neu proteins and are done by immunohistochemistry and will be shown in the pathologist's report. To predict the prognosis, the profile of expression helps the oncologist to choose the proper treatment.
(d) Stage of a tumor-The TNM classification is the currently accepted staging scheme and it is as follows:

Tumor- Depends upon the presence or absence of invasive cancer, the dimensions of the invasive cancer and the presence or absence of invasion outside of the breast there are five tumor classification values (Tis, T1, T2, T3 and T4).

Lymph Node- Depends on number, size and location of breast cancer cell deposits in lymph nodes there are four lymph nodes classification values (N0, N1, N2 and N3).

Metastasis- Depends on the presence or absence of the breast cancer cells in locations other than breast and lymph nodes there are two metastatic classification values (M0 or M1).

Breast cancers are not always classified by its histological appearance. Breast tumor is dense mass of cells appear whiter than the tissue around it. Benign masses are round or oval in shape but a tumor may be partially round with any shapes according to its circumference. If the mass has a multi pointed star shaped outline, it is known as speculated.

If there is a dense mass appears as tumor in a mammogram, ultrasound should be taken for that breast mass. If the mass shows an irregular outline or having fuzzy edges and is pressing the tissue around it, the person needs a biopsy of the mass. The most accurate way to diagnose its actual nature is an analysis of the tissue sample.

The exact cause of the this cancer is not known. The healthy BRCA 1 and 2 genes act as a tumor suppressor for breast and ovarian tumors. The mutated BRCA genes due to radiation or chemicals can give rise to cancer. The risk of tumor increases as the age increases. About 17% of women were diagnosed with breast cancer were in their 40s and 78% were older than 50.

General terms for this cancer
(1) Carcinoma is the term to describe a cancer that begins in the epithelial cells of organs. Most of the breast cancers are carcinomas.
(2) Adenocarcinoma which starts in glandular tissues. Glandular tissues in the breast are ducts and lobules and because of this it is known as adenocarcinoma.
(3) The early stage of cancer, when it is limited to the layer of cells where it began is described by the term Carcinoma in Situ. The cancer cells remain restricted to ducts and lobules are in situ especially in breast cancer. These types have not invaded in to the deeper tissues in the breast or spread to other organs of the body and are referred as non-invasive breast cancer.
(4) The one that has already spread beyond the layer of cells where it started are invasive or infiltrating cancer. Most breast cancers are invasive. Breast cancers are either invasive ductal carcinoma or invasive lobular carcinoma.
(5) Cancers that starts from connective tissues such as fat tissue or blood vessels are sarcomas. In the breast sarcomas are rare.

The different types of breast cancers are ductal carcinoma in situ, lobular carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma. Less common types of breast cancers are inflammatory breast cancer, mixed tumors, medullary cancer, metaplastic carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, Paget disease of the nipple, tubular carcinoma, papillary carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, phyllodes tumor and angiosarcoma.

Signs and Symptoms

The primary sign of this cancer is a lump that feels different that the surrounding tissue. Lump in the breast of 80% cases are discovered by the women herself. Lumps found in lymph nodes located in the armpits or collarbone can also indicate breast cancer. Other indications are change in breast size or shape, skin dimpling, nipple inversion or spontaneous nipple discharge. To determine the breast cancer, pain is an unreliable tool but can be due to other breast related problems such as mastodynia. Most of symptoms do give rise to breast cancer. Some of the common causes of breast disorder symptoms are mastitis and fibro adenoma. Any symptom should be taken seriously because there is a possibility of having cancer in the breast at any age.

Prevention

Intake of plant estrogen in early adolescence such as soybeans may protect breast cancer in later life. But the intake of plant estrogen in later life is not likely to influence either positively or negatively. Avoid exposure to smoking or secondhand smoke. Passive smoking also causes breast cancer. The removal of ovaries in the high risk individuals after child bearing can reduce the risk of cancer in the breast by 60% and also in reducing the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Testing

The most common methods for the test of breast cancer are self and clinical exams, x-ray mammography and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Diagnosis

By examining the surgically remove breast tissue, the breast cancer can be diagnosed. The breast tissues can be taken by fine needle aspiration, nipple aspirates, and ductal lavage, core needle biopsy and local surgical excision. The accurate diagnosis of this cancer includes radiographic imaging along with these diagnostic steps. To detect metastasis imaging tests are sometimes used and it include chest X-ray, bone scan, CAT scan, MRI and PET scanning. Microscopic evaluation of a biopsy specimen can give a cancer diagnosis.

Treatment
The main treatment is the surgery of the tumor with the hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In individuals with high risk hormonal therapy has been used for chemoprevention. The US food and drug administration approved raloxifene for preventing invasive breast cancer in post menopausal women.

Asthma (AZ-ma) Is A Chronic (long-term) Lung Disease That Inflames And Narrows The Airways.

Asthma Causes Recurring Periods Of Wheezing (a Whistling Sound When You Breathe),

Chest Tightness, Shortness Of Breath, And Coughing.

The Coughing Often Occurs At Night Or Early In The Morning.
Asthma Effects People Of All Ages,

But It Most Often Starts In Childhood.

In The United States,

More Than 22 Million People

Are Known To Have Asthma.

Nearly 6 Million Of These People Are Children.

Overview ……..


The Airways Are Tubes That Carry Air Into And Out Of Your Lungs.

People Who Have Asthma Have Inflamed Airways.

This Makes The Airways Swollen And Very Sensitive.

They Tend To React Strongly To Certain Substances That Are Breathed In.

When The Airways React,

The Muscles Around Them Tighten.

This Causes The Airways To Narrow,

And Less Air Flows To Your Lungs.

The Swelling Also Can Worsen,

Making The Airways Even Narrower.

Cells In The Airways May

Make More Mucus Than Normal.

Mucus Is A Sticky,

Thick Liquid That Can Further Narrow Your Airways.
This Chain Reaction Can Result In Asthma Symptoms.

Symptoms Can Happen Each Time The Airways Are Irritated.

Sometimes Symptoms Are Mild And Go Away On Their Own Or After Minimal Treatment With An Asthma Medicine.

At Other Times, Symptoms Continue To Get Worse.

When Symptoms Get More Intense And / Or Additional Symptoms Appear,

This is An Asthma Attack.

Asthma Attacks Also Are Called Flareups Or Exacerbations.
It's Important To Treat Symptoms When You First Notice Them.

This Will Help Prevent The Symptoms From Worsening And Causing A Severe Asthma Attack.
Severe Asthma Attacks May Require Emergency Care, And They Can Cause Death.

Every week something new. The last was that pizza prevent esophageal cancer.
I think the greatest grace.
Prevents this Tomato, onion prevents it, chocolate is good, chocolate is bad, a daily cup of wine is OK,
any sip of alcohol is harmful, take plenty of water, but hey, don't overdo it ...
Given this wealth of discoveries, I think most insurance will not change their habits.
I know what their is good and what's bad for my health.

Air travel legs don't swell, swell my brain, I return full of ideas!
Fighting, tease me a cardiac arrhythmia.
See people having bouts of stupidity, I wrap the stomach!
witness people throwing beer cans out the car window, make me lose all faith in humans ... And TV news ... Physicians should ban ... How to donate!
Walking is good, is good for dating, dancing is good, be silent when a thread is on fire, does very well: you exercise self-control and still wake up the next day without feeling sorry for anything.
Waking up in the morning, sorry for what he said or did last night, yes it is harmful to health. And spend the rest of the day without the courage to apologize, even worse.
Don't apologize for our stupid mistakes, gives you cancer, carry anger, be pessimistic, biased or false moralist, no tomatoes or mozzarella that prevents!
Going to the movies, get a central place in the ranks of the fund, having no one clouded his view, no phone ringing and the film is spectacular, WOW!
Film is better for health than popcorn. Talking is better than a joke.
Exercise is better than surgery. Humor is better than anger.
Friends are better than influential people. Economy is better than debt.
Question is better than doubt.
Dreaming is the best of everything and a lot better than nothing!

The body is always smaller than thought, because the boundaries of thought know no bounds. But the body is just "Height and Weight." Already thinking of the formula is multiplied by the imagination and feeling the high power of reasoning. The thought that naturally gives a much larger size than the body. But society, the body, is plotting the time for us to be lonely, selfish and materialistic, so the economy grows and multiplies wealth in the hands of those who already have more than enough, while the universe, thought, conspiracy to find companionship, friendship and understanding. As the Harmony can only flourish where there is enchantment.
The body is powerful, and tools, and strength, is seduction. It leverages produces, sustains and constrói.Já thinking is influential because it is thought, is feeling, it's mind. He calculates, plans to sit down and multiply. But even though both may be incarcerated so great, the body may be captive in the office, church or car, and thought can be gripped by fear, or moral status. Freedom exists, but we must fight. For the body destroys the prosecution, for fear it destroys the mind. But the body for pleasure is what emancipation and the imagination is the thought that liberates.
I realize that there are two distinct streams of people. Those who through the body, because it bases itself are in the process of deterioration. And those who have thought as the seat of the soul, are in the process of maturing.
The body ages, but the thought remains young, the body dies, thinking hard, I suspect that thinking continues even after our death.

The next in the line of heart health tips is to know your blood pressure and do whatever it takes to get it down to 115/75.You can have the blood pressure down to 115/75 with just weight loss, walking and decreasing sugar and saturated fat in your diet.

Include 30 grams of nuts a day in your diet. Nuts raise HDL good cholesterol and decrease inflammation. But they have a heart benefit independent of those too. Nuts have healthy omega-3 fatty acids, healthy protein and some fiber. And this is one of the heart health tips is easy to do. Nuts that are raw, fresh and unsalted have the most benefit.

The fourth of the heart health tips is to learn your HDL (Good Cholesterol) number and do what you can to raise it to 50.For women; some believe a high HDL is more important than a lower LDL (Bad Cholesterol).

Floss the teeth regularly to avoid periodontal disease. It prevents inflammation in the arteries, which helps us head off heart disease. Many of us are unaware that our oral health affects all our arterial health, and that includes blood flow to the heart and sexual organs, and may be even wrinkles on our skin.

Eat no more than 20 grams of saturated fat a day and as little trans fat as possible to avoid inflammation in the arteries.

Don't be fooled by foods that are low in fat but high in sugar. Read labels and throw out all food that has sugar as an important ingredient. The sugar causes inflammation and if you use more sugar than you need, it gets morphed into omentum fat, that dangerous fat around the belly.

One of the welcome heart health tips is to have a glass of wine or beer. It is a consistent finding that teetotalers have a higher risk of heart disease than people who drink a little, and people who drink a lot have little heart disease but tend to die of cancer. Though there are serious dangers to drinking, any kind of alcohol in moderation is good for arteries.

Finally, eat several servings of colorful fruits and vegetables a day. Include a lot of fiber, and do not increase to that amount all at once. Make sure the produce is fresh and wash it carefully and thoroughly.
