Surgery Options for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Surgery Options for Early-Stage Breast Cancer


What is Breast Cancer?

The term breast cancer refers to a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast. The breast is composed of two main types of tissues: glandular tissues and stromal (supporting) tissues. Glandular tissues house the milk-producing glands (lobules) and the ducts (the milk passages) while stromal tissues include fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast.

The breast is also made up of lymphatic tissue-immune system tissue that removes cellular fluids and waste.

Breast Cancer Risk factor

# Age: Your chances of developing breast cancer increase with age. Close to 80 percent of breast cancers occur in women older than age 50. In your 30s, you have a one in 233 chance of developing breast cancer. By age 85, your chance is one in eight. # A personal history of breast cancer : If you've had breast cancer in one breast, you have an increased risk of developing cancer in the other breast.

# Family history: If you have a mother, sister or daughter with breast or ovarian cancer or both, or a male relative with breast cancer, you have a greater chance of also developing breast cancer

# Genetic predisposition: Between 5 percent and 10 percent of breast cancers are inherited.

# Radiation exposure: If you received radiation treatments to your chest as a child or young adult, you're more likely to develop breast cancer later in life. Your risk is greatest if you received radiation as an adolescent during breast development.
