How does breast cancer eventually lead to death

When breast cancer develops to the late stage, the surface skin is invaded, and skin nodules may appear, and even the skin may break down and form ulcers. The cancer invades deeper layers, and may invade the pectoral fascia and pectoral muscles, causing the mass to be fixed to the chest wall and difficult to move. Lymph node metastasis of breast cancer is often manifested as swollen lymph nodes in the axillary of the same side. Initially, they are scattered, painless, hard, and few in number, and can be moved. Later, the number of swollen lymph nodes increases, and they adhere to each other to form a mass, and adhere to the skin or deep tissues of the axillary and become fixed.

A small number of patients may have contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis. Distant metastasis of breast cancer to the lungs may cause chest pain, shortness of breath, pleural effusion, etc.; when metastases to the vertebrae, there may be severe pain in the affected area or even paraplegia; when metastases to the liver, jaundice and hepatomegaly may occur.
As an auxiliary treatment, the Chinese medicine ginsenoside Humingsu can effectively regulate human immunity, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, and has a certain therapeutic effect on malignant tumors such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and brain glioma. Because ginsenosides are natural small molecules, they are lipophilic and can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier to exert their effects. They are highly effective, non-toxic, and have no side effects, and can be taken for a long time. Therefore, it is suitable for use before and after surgery or during radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It can effectively protect immune organs, enhance immune function, and is conducive to the normal functioning of immune surveillance and clearance functions. It can prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis, and is suitable for critically ill patients such as tumor patients and the elderly and frail.
