Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer in Pakistan and ranked first in the Pakistani women. There is a significant increase in the number of cases in Pakistan has since the 1970s, partly due to the modern lifestyles in the Upper class.
The main cause of breast cancer is still unknown but different factors can become the cause. The risk factors that can trigger the disease are sex, age, childbearing, hormones, a high-fat diet, alcohol intake, obesity, and environmental factors such as tobacco use and radiation. Hereditary factors play a role, but research is still on its way to find the cause of breast cancer. In the last few years, the death rate graph declines due to availability of the most advanced surgical and medical techniques.
A typical sort of lump is the first apparent symptom of breast cancer. This lump appears quite different from the surrounding breast tissue. This lump is palpable by hand and can be visualized by mammogram. This lump can be found in the breast, in the armpit or under the collar bone. Other apparent indications of breast cancer are changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling, nipple inversion, or spontaneous any sort of discharge. These all appear along with each other or single finding will leads to diagnosis. Pain may or may not associate any symptom.
If the lump gets infected due to any reason then there is pain, redness and swelling throughout the breast and the skin appears like an orange peel. In advance stages of the disease it can spread to different organs like bone, liver, lung and brain.
Self examination or by the doctor can simply help in finding the lump. But all lumps are not always cancerous. To rule out the danger different screening methods had been in use. X-ray mammography, MRI and CT scan can help in localizing the lesion.
Different laboratory investigations can help in grading the stage of the breast cancer. After localizing the lesion and accessing the stage of the disease surgery is the first line of treatment followed by treatment including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immune therapy. The treatment is according the stage of the disease.
Interstitial laser thermotherapy is nowadays an innovative method for the treatment of breast cancer with minimal side effects reported so far. It is less invasive and surgery is not required in this method for removing the lump, and survival of the patient during intermediate follow up is good.
Radiation treatment after surgery can reduce the risk of recurrence when delivered in the correct dose. So patients are divided in low risk patients and high risk patients, and different treatment plans are according to the stage of the disease.During treatment patient immune system is highly compromised so immune therapy is required.
There are different factors which can determine the life expectancy of the patient with breast cancer that is staging, tumor size and location, grade, and the spread of the disease, recurrence of the disease, and age of patient. Younger women do have a poorer life expectancy then older one.
