cancer
Slide 3
She complained about having a little strange pain on the lower
side of her left breast. Felt like a sharp needle pain. It only
hurt when she would get bumped or as the time goes on when she
presses against the area.
Slide 4
The first test we had her do was an ultrasound. This helps in
the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases and conditions. The
ultrasound test came clean, but the doctors can still feel the
ridged spot on her lower left breast.
Slide 5
The second test we suggested to give her was a biopsy. A biopsy
tells if a lump or area is cancerous. Results came back that she is
diagnosed with stage 1 cancer.
Slide 6
Stage 1 is divided into subcategories known as IA and IB. IA:
The tumor measures up to 2 cm AND the cancer has not spread outside
the breast no lymph nodes are involved IB: There is no tumor in the
breast instead, small groups of cancer cells larger than 0.2
millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters are found in the lymph
nodes.
Slide 7
Stage II is divided into subcategories known as IIA and IIB
IIA: The tumor is larger than 2 cm but not larger than 5 cm and has
not spread to the axillaries lymph nodes. IIB: The tumor is larger
than 5 cm but has not spread to the axillaries lymph nodes.
Slide 8
Stage III is divided into subcategories known as IIIA, IIIB,
and IIIC IIA: No tumor is found, but cancer is found in axillaries,
lymph nodes, which are clumped together or sticking to other
structures, or cancer may have spread to lymph nodes near the
breastbone IIIB: The breast feels warm and may be swollen IIIC: The
cancer has spread to lymph nodes above or below the collarbone
Slide 9
Stage IV describes breast cancer that has spread beyond the
breast and nearby lymph nodes to other organs of the body, such as
the lungs, distant lymph nodes, skin, bones, liver, or brain.
Slide 10
A Surgeon: is a medical practitioner qualified to practice
surgery Breast cancer treatments almost always includes surgery
Some surgeries are biopsy(An examination of tissue removed from a
living body to discover the cause, the disease), lymph node
removal(swelling in the lymphatic system where lymph is filtered),
lumpectomy(A surgical operation in which a lump is removed from the
breast.)
Slide 11
Slide 12
A pathologist: is a doctor who specializes in detecting
cancerous cells When a biopsy is done, pathologist examines the
cell samples for cancer Pathologists report the type of cancer and
its characteristics so it can help guide the medical treatment
Slide 13
A Radiation Oncologist's: specialty is treating cancer with
radiation Some breast cancer victims have radiation to the breast
or lymph node
Slide 14
Hematocrit 37% normal is 38-40% Rbc is 3.8mcells/mc1 normal is
4.1- 5mcells/mcl Wbc decreased to 5k cells/mcl normal 4.5-10k
Slide 15
Tumor in the breast The tumor is an result of a abnormal cell
growth, they seems to always feel different your breast surrounding
tissue.
Slide 16
How does Breast Cancer affect the body? Breast Cancer seem to
always start as a very tiny group cell in breast that begins to
grow in what doctors say Out Of Control Manner . Early effects of
breast cancer are usually lumps and masses within the breast.
Slide 17
Primarily it usually only develops within the breast, but once
its not treated the cancer cells can spread to about anywhere in
the body affecting functions and organs in the body.
Slide 18
So without treating the cancer it can spread also within the
bone areas, cancer makes cells in the body reproduce kind of weird
and can jump from one part of the body to another, and if its left
untreated your body can shut down and your organs can kill
you.
Slide 19
Cancer spreads through the lymphatic system The stage for a
person with breast cancer is labeled by a number from 0 to 4. The
higher the number is the more the cancer will spread to the organs.
So for example if a person has stage 0 that means, the cancer has
not spread beyond the layer of cells.
Slide 20
Until now breast cancer remains unknown of how you get it. But
scientist found out risk that may cause the person of getting the
disease. But the main problem would be the persons age and or
drinking habits.
Slide 21
If youre at the age of 50 years of age, Breast cancer is at
high risk for you, than a person who is in her 30s. 80% of breast
cancer develops in woman over the age 50. Or the ages between (40
to 45) Breast cancer is ranked first among all causes of death in
women, and is uncommon to get breast cancer if you are younger than
the age 35. Expect if you have a family member who has had breast
cancer run in the family.
Slide 22
If a woman already has breast cancer, most likely she will end
up developing a new cancer in her other breast, but also can be in
a different location in the body. If the cancer left it can also
come back The likely hood of a new cancer increases by 0.5% to 0.7%
each year. After 20 years a woman has a 10% to 15% chance of
developing a new breast cancer.
Slide 23
15% of this disorder is a genetic factor in BreastCarena case.
85% of woman with breast caner do NOT repeat a history of breast
caner with their families. You can get it if its from your mother
and passed down to her daughter, it cant be passed down from your
mother to cousin.
Slide 24
In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 40,000
women will die from breast cancer. 1,500 people die each day 3,400
people are diagnosed with cancer each day
Slide 25
Slide 26
Slide 27
Surgery to remove the Brest so we can take the cancer cell
tumor out. After the surgery there is an option of plastic and
reconstruction surgery to remake the Brest and make it look most
natural as possible by combining the patients own tissue during
reconstructive procedure.
Slide 28
Chemo therapy: which uses medicines to slow or stop the growth
of cancer cells. Patients with small tumors or earlier stage breast
cancer may participate in clinical trials of adjuvant chemotherapy
(medication given after surgery)
Slide 29
The final plan will be radiation therapy to kill all of the
censor cells before they infect more of the body and surgery to
remove the tumor in the Brest
Slide 30
Since BreastCarena has stage 1 breast cancer, she did NOT die,
but she has to stop smoking and stay fit. Knowing that her mother
died of Breast Cancer, her cancer may come back again.
