What Is A Breast Cancer Tumor?

This article will bring you revelation on how a breast cancer tumor affects the human body and where it is located. More women die of breast cancer every year than of any other cancer related deaths. Recent figures show that cancer already or is about to surpass heart disease as the number one killer of Americans. I have information about breast cancer and other related diseases on my website located in the resource box below.

What Is Breast Cancer?

First of all, malignancy tumor means a group of cells that may invade nearby tissue or even spread or (metastasize) to other areas of the body. In other words, if a woman or even a man is diagnosed with breast cancer, then they have a malignant tumor.

What Makes Up The Structure Of A Breast?

For you to get a better understanding of where breast cancer tumor gets it start, I will reveal the internal parts of a breast:

Lobules- Milk producing glands

Ducts- Tiny tubes that carry the milk from the lobule to the nipple

Stroma- Fatty tissue and connective tissue surrounding the ducts and lobules also blood vessels and Lymphatic System.

Where Is The Cancer Located Inside Of The Breast?

Ducatal Carcinoma- This is the most common form of breast cancer tumor and is located within the ducts and hasn't spread through the walls of the ducts to the surrounding tissue.

Lobular Carcinoma- Is a breast cancer tumor that is located and stays within the milk producing glands, but does not go through the walls of the tubules.

Sarcoma- Is a type of cancer that has their origin from connective tissues such as fat or blood vessels. Sarcomas of the breast are rare.

Invasive Carcinoma- Most breast cancer tumor are invasive carcinoma. (IC) is one that has spread from other cells than where it first started.

The Lymphatic System

The Lymphatic System is very important in regards to breast cancer because the breast cancer tumor can travel down the lymph vessels (mini veins except they carry lymph or clear fluid) to the lymph nodes (small bean shaped collections of immune system cells) or to other areas of the body. Lymph itself is made up of waste products, immune system cells, and tissue fluid. Almost all lymphatic vessels in the breast join with lymph nodes under the arm. In addition, lymphatic vessels connect to lymph nodes inside the chest cavity and to those either below or above the collarbone. There is more information on cancer and other health disease located at the website in the resource below. I will keep you updated on more information as it is uncovered.

How To Prevent Prostate Cancer/Tumor And Its Recurrence Effectively?

Obesity is not only a risk factor for prostate cancer, it can also increase the risk of recurrence. Exercise and physical activity are beneficial by supporting weight loss, enhancing pelvic circulation, improving immunity, and reducing fatigue.

The most effective cancer diet is low in red meat and dairy and high in fruits and vegetables. Broccoli in particular has been shown in clinical trials to specifically help prevent prostate tumor. A vegetarian diet has been shown to be effective in some cases. There is conflicting information on soy and soy isoflavones. Dietary soy is associated with a lower risk of developing cancer. The effects of concentrated soy extracts and other phytoestrogens are less clear. This may due to the fact that men eating a Western diet (full of meat and low in vegetables) have a different population of bacteria inhabiting their gut. These bacteria may not effectively break down soy into its active metabolite, genistein.

Men eating a traditional Japanese diet tend to experience greater benefit from soy in terms of preventing prostate tumor because they have been eating soy foods as a part of their daily diets for years, and therefore are more likely to have a population of gut bacteria that effectively metabolize soy isoflavones into genistein; men who incorporate soy foods in the diet abruptly may not receive the same benefit. A 2008 study involving men with prostate tumor demonstrated that decreased consumption of saturated fat and increased consumption of vegetable proteins slowed the growth of cancer and increased quality of life.

Studies demonstrate that physical activity is important in preventing prostate tumor. In one large prospective study, men over 65 who exercised the most had the lowest risk of cancer. Exercise will also help maintain normal body weight as obesity is a risk factor. In one study involving men who previously had prostate tumor, those with the highest BMI had the highest risk of developing a recurrence.
