Who is not afraid to hear the term breast cancer. But unconsciously she always staked out by the deadly disease. Who are still silent sufferers is increasing from year to year. Based on the WHO report there are at least 1.1 million new cases appearing each year worldwide. And, almost more than half occurred in newly developing countries.
Bumps Not Always Visible
"Of particular concern now, there is a trend decline in age at onset of breast cancer. If it had mostly occurred at the age of 35-55 years and rarely below the age of 25 years, now shifted younger. Now quite a lot of events at the age of 20-30 years. Even based on my personal experience, there is a 15-year-old daughter who was suffering from breast cancer, "said dr.Sutjipto, Sp.B (K) Onk. , A specialist in surgical oncology from Siloam Hospitals is also chairman of the Breast Health Foundation in Jakarta.
What cause? According to research, breast cancer caused by genetic factors only about 5 to 7.5 percent. Most cases of breast cancer are all factors beyond genetics that doctors sometimes difficult to answer, what triggers the exact cause of breast cancer.

Unfortunately, based on experience Sutjipto about 60-70 percent of patients who come to the hospital already in a state of suffering from breast cancer stage III and above. This is due mostly early-stage breast cancer are not always visible lumps or cause any complaints for the sufferer.
So it can not be absolutely prevented, so that could be done only by detecting as early as possible so as not to be late unknown.

Self Check
The easiest thing to do is breast self-exam or breast self-examination.
Sutjipto advocate for young women, since the age of 20 years of doing regular breast self-exam. This can be done each time after bathing and outside the menstrual period.
How, standing in front of the glass, right hand to check the left breast and vice versa. Do check with your palms touching rotate clockwise and vice versa as many times. Make sure, no bejolan or gronjolan in the breast.

Breast Ultrasound
As for the women who had turned 30 years old, perform breast ultrasound or breast ultrasound. The trick is similar to ultrasound womb.
First, patients were asked to lie on the bed and then the breast is given gel. Then the medic will run around the transducer to the breast to get a picture of a tumor or cyst in the breast.

Mammography No Longer Painful
When entering the age of 40 years, Sutjipto recommend to combine the two ways of detection (ultrasound and breast self-exam) with mammography.
Mammography should be performed 3 years for patients aged 40-45 years. However, especially for such high-risk, obese, no children and no history of cancer in the family, mammography can be done every 2 years.
Meanwhile, when entering the age of 50 years, mammography can be done 2-3 years. Similarly, when women were aged over 60 years, mammography done about 1-2 years.
No need to fear with mammography for mammography equipment is now computerized enough. This computerized system allows the emphasis adequately to obtain an accurate picture of the condition of the mammary gland.
"So do not be afraid of pain and will lead to more malignant cancer," said Sutjipto rectify a wrong assumption in the community.
How to do this such as chest X-ray mammography. First, patients were asked to release a variety of metal accessories and apparel and special clothing mammography use only.
To position when performing mammography, can sit or stand depending on the equipment used. Then one of the breast is placed on a flat plate and at the top there is a kind of plastic breasts pressing down to flatten. This method is intended to show that breast tissue will disinar-X.
The photos of breast glands will be taken from various angles to obtain an optimum accuracy. In the mammography machine types Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM), which works digitally, X-ray images obtained can be manipulated on a computer screen so that improved accuracy results of X-rays.
MRI More Details
If after an ultrasound and mammography found irregularities, an investigation followed by an MRI (magnetic resonace imaging) of the breast. This method is also an alternative detection of breast cancer for women over 40 years old or who does not like mammography.
Of course, it takes no small cost to do this.
How, patients injected contrast agent or a kind of liquid that will remove the color. Then the patients entered into the hallway and fired a magnetic power that will produce a particular color on a network that has been injected contrast agents.
In the end will get the picture structure, form and composition of the breast in greater detail even can capture a cell that already leads to cancer.

Breast thermography
Other options complement is a way to detect breast cancer with breast Thermography. Based on clinical studies, when done in conjunction with mammography, the sensitivity will increase to 98 percent.
It is said, thermography is relatively safe because it does not cause radiation, without any injection or emphasis. By utilizing digital infra-red thermal imaging, will be obtained pattern of normal and abnormal heat generated by the presence of cancer cells.
Way, patient enough to stand in front of thermography equipment. Then the officer will record the pattern of breast hot. If there is a red color (sign of abnormal high temperature), then there is the activity of tumor cells.

Breast cancer used to Melia Propolis dependent stage of the cancer. In the early use of Propolis 5-6 drops per day. Note the effect of acts of revenge. |
