Women, Beware lump in your breast!

Women need to be aware of if you find a lump in the breast. Therefore, the lump could be one of the symptoms of contracting breast cancer. To ascertain whether the lump is malignant or not, then the patient should immediately consult with mammography. "Public awareness of the importance of early detection of breast cancer should be improved through continuous education," said the surgeon-oncologist at the Cancer Hospital Dharmais Sutjipto. Breast cancer is curable if detected early through clinical examination and mammography.

Breast cancer is a malignancy derived from the gland, the gland duct and supporting the breast tissue. In recent years, more and more young people age group, even under the age of 30 years. It triggered an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking indulgence and consumption of fast food, he added.

There are several symptoms of this disease can be identified, namely the appearance of a lump in the breast and big changes or shape of the breast. Another symptom, abnormal discharge from the nipple, fluid may be pus, blood, watery fluid or milk out of the mother who is not pregnant or nursing. In addition, the skin, the nipple and areola are curved inward or crimped.

The higher the stage, the greater the size of the lump. If a new form of lumps and has not spread to other organs, the treatment simply by lifting it as soon as possible before the bump continues to expand, said Sutjipto. If you have entered stage four, the bumps or malignant tumor will spread to other organs.

"The earlier stage, the chances of a cure or life expectancy will be higher," he said. In the early stages, breast cancer does not cause any symptoms, but in conjunction with the development of disease symptoms will arise that cause changes in the breast. This requires periodic inspection either by breast self-examination, examination by medical personnel as well as mammograms.
