Breast cancer staging, grading and recurrence

Breast cancer staging and recurrence:

The breast is not an important organ for maintaining human life, and in situ breast cancer is not fatal; however, because breast cancer cells have lost the characteristics of normal cells, the connection between cells is loose and easy to fall off. Once the cancer cells fall off, the free cancer cells will spread throughout the body through the blood or lymph fluid, forming metastasis and endangering life.

Breast cancer can be divided into local recurrence and distant metastasis. Local refers to the chest wall and axilla, which is generally not life-threatening. Cancer cells metastasize to the liver, lungs, bones, and brain through the bloodstream and lymph. Although the original surgical lesion has not recurred, the metastasis is to an important organ. If it metastasizes to the lungs, coughing up blood will occur, affecting breathing; if it metastasizes to the brain, central nervous system problems will occur, and even directly affect life, making treatment more difficult.

Breast cancer is diagnosed clearly, and most of them need surgical treatment. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be combined after surgery to improve the patient's survival rate. If you have breast cancer, even in the late stage, it is best to consider surgical treatment. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy must be done after surgical treatment, and it can still play a certain therapeutic effect. Radiotherapy and systemic intravenous chemotherapy are added after surgical resection. In order to increase the confidence of treatment, you can also use Chinese medicine to regulate it.
