Ms Chung is a dancer, a devil figure and superb dancing made her quite well known in the circles. She advocates free, mature and confident, although this year is already 35 years old, but because maintenance of decency and not birth, still look pretty young, dynamic. However, she encountered a little trouble: one in the bathroom, she inadvertently touched the right side of the breast has a lump, and my heart burst of nervous, but think of mass superficial, it should be no problem, but also embarrassed to let a Doctors look at this strange position, so no go to the hospital.
After a period of time, the lumps are large as long as possible, but also touched on the right axillary mass, they bite the bullet and go to the doctor wanted to prescribe some medicine. Did not think through the detailed examination at the hospital, she received a diagnosis of any case can not think of: breast cancer! Doctors are very serious and told her already quite late, and must immediately hospitalized chemotherapy. The news at once so that Ms. Chung from the peak dropped to the bottom of life, the world a dark, from now on, she would dance with her beloved to say goodbye, it is necessary and her beauty, her self-confidence to say goodbye and more importantly, perhaps soon, she would, and say goodbye to the world ... ... she was a harsh reproach yourself, "Why do not see a doctor sooner?"
"Three early" is particularly crucial for the treatment of breast cancer
In fact, the clinical patients, like Ms. Chung that a lot of opinion, after the discovery of breast lump does not place emphasis, leading to tumor progression, loss of opportunity for surgery. If early diagnosis and timely surgery, breast cancer is still a great chance of being cured, and 5-year survival rate can reach 95%. Moreover, with the right breast cancer in-depth understanding and comprehensive treatment of the rapid development of the concept of breast cancer treatment has changed from the past "may be the maximum tolerated treatment" into the current "effective minimum treatment", a considerable number of patients can not be breast removed and replaced by less invasive breast-conserving surgery, the patients after surgery without losing self-confidence and dignity as a woman, normal life and work.
Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment is essential for the cure breast cancer. To early detection, in addition to regular visits to hospital for medical examination, we must also regular breast self-examination. In 1999, the American Cancer Society in recommending that all women over the age of 20 should do monthly breast self-examination as a routine part of breast care, generally 4 to 7 days after menstruation be better, in case any part of the palpable breast swelling blocks, should be highly vigilant against breast cancer, and timely treatment. Especially for high-risk groups susceptible to breast cancer, breast self-examination should be to master the method. High-risk groups include: over 40 years old unmarried, early menarche ( "12 years old) and late menopause (" 55 years old) who have not given birth who had those who did not breast-feeding, mother or sister had suffered from breast cancer among them, who have a lateral breast cancer history of persons with cystic hyperplasia of breast epithelial cells with moderate and severe dysplasia, etc..
High-tech treatment to make it possible to cure breast cancer
Surgical cure for early stage breast cancer, hope great, but there is still a considerable number of patients have discovered late, it is not these patients have no hope of a cure it? Not. In recent years, although the incidence of breast cancer on the rise, now the highest in the first women's cancer, but the mortality rate has gradually declined, mainly due to the development of comprehensive treatment. "Breast cancer is a systemic disease," point of view has now been widely accepted that at a very early stage cancer may be off, with the transfer of lymph or blood to the lungs, liver, bone, brain and other organs, a direct threat to the patient's , so that the treatment of breast cancer surgery alone is not enough.
At present, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy has been tied into the four breast cancer that genuinely effective treatment. Years of practice have shown that chemotherapy after surgery can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of breast cancer has become a variety of conventional post-operative treatment as soon as possible after beginning chemotherapy for six courses in general. For some patients, chemotherapy before surgery can be carried out, namely, "neo-adjuvant chemotherapy," Ms Chung such as a tumor larger, more serious in patients with local invasion, temporarily unable to surgery, can only be made after 2 to 3 cycles of chemotherapy, tumor size was reduced after the surgery to be removed. Larger the tumor, lymph node metastasis, as well as more patients received breast-conserving surgery radiotherapy needed. Because chemotherapy and radiation technology advances, more and better application of drugs, so that the vast majority of patients can be safely completed treatment, and no obvious pain. Breast cancer and sex hormones is closely related to endocrine therapy can inhibit the effect of estrogen to tumor regression, the eradication of micrometastasis, reducing risk of recurrence and metastasis, and side effects is small, convenient oral medication, and therefore an important means of treatment for breast cancer.
After chemotherapy or radiotherapy generally take 5 years. With advanced breast cancer patients after chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, the 5-year survival rate can reach 25%. Medicine in the continuous development of new drugs and treatments, and the constant to patients with advanced breast cancer has brought new hope. Extensive transfer of a considerable number of patients with advanced application of the new much improved after chemotherapy; even for both chemotherapy and endocrine therapy-resistant patients with advanced breast cancer, if the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2) positive, but also can be applied to for the HER-2 antibody treatment, about 30% of patients with access to good effect; In addition, the high-dose chemotherapy combined with stem cell transplantation also allows some patients with refractory advanced breast cancer was cured. Thus, with early detection, early surgical guarantee, with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and biological therapy escort, breast cancer has gradually become a curable disease.
In an interview with Ms Chung had two courses of chemotherapy, the tumor significantly reduced the conduct of the surgical resection, and made a breast reconstruction, after they had six courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, endocrine therapy is still in oral drugs, from the onset has now been a more than a year, and regular review, there is no recurrence. Ms Chung has now restored the former beauty and self-confidence, she is still graceful scene in time, and she would have to return to the stage of the. Who would have thought that would be radiant on the stage, she had suffered from breast cancer then?
