Is it scary to have a benign phyllodes tumor?

Tumors are extremely destructive to people's health because they are a manifestation of cancer, and the cure rate of tumors is very low, often causing great pain to patients. Phyllodes tumors are a common disease in modern life. They are more common in women's bodies, and most of them are benign tumors. Let's take a look at whether it is scary to have a benign phyllodes tumor? I hope everyone can understand.

Phyllodes tumor of the breast is a rare disease that occurs in women, accounting for approximately 0.3% to 0.9% of breast tumors and 2% to 3% of fibroepithelial tumors. It used to have many names: phyllodes cystosarcoma, pseudosarcomatous adenoma, adenomyxoma, carcinosarcoma, papillary cystosarcoma, giant breast myxoma, mixed tumor of the breast, giant fibroadenoma, etc., as many as 60 types. The disease can occur in women of all ages, but the peak incidence is around 40 years old. It is relatively more common in premenopausal women, multiparous women, and breastfeeding women.

The following factors are generally considered :

1. Endocrine hormone disorder: Domestic data show that PTB occurs at three high-incidence age stages, namely (1) menarche during adolescence, when endocrine hormones become disordered; (2) cessation of childbearing after marriage and childbirth, when endocrine hormones become disordered; and (3) endocrine hormones become disordered before and after menopause.

It rarely occurs in males and prepubertal patients.

2. Formed on the basis of fibroadenoma: Because the onset of the disease in young patients is obviously related to fibroadenoma, and may even have originated from fibroadenoma. Some studies have suggested that the deletion and amplification of certain alleles play a role in the development of fibroadenoma to phyllodes tumor. One-fifth of patients have both lesions at the same time or on the basis of fibroadenoma, and some tumors have the histological features of both fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumor.

3. Other factors: There are also reports related to race, region, hygiene habits, childbirth and breastfeeding, etc.

The above is an explanation of whether it is scary to have benign phyllodes tumor. I hope everyone will take care of their bodies, especially women should pay more attention to their physical health.
