Breast cancer is a type of cancer caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of cells in the breast tissue. The most common symptoms include a palpable lump in the breast or armpit, changes in the nipple, thickening or discolouration of the skin.
Imaging and laboratory tests such as mammography, ultrasonography, MRI and biopsy are used to diagnose breast cancer. These methods help to determine the presence and spread of cancer.
In the treatment of breast cancer, surgical methods such as lumpectomy (tumour removal) or mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) can be applied depending on the size, location and spread of the tumour.
Breast conserving surgery is an approach that aims to preserve the breast as much as possible during the removal of cancerous tissue. This method is especially preferred in early stage breast cancers.
The recovery process varies depending on the type of surgical intervention and the patient’s general state of health. Patients can usually return to their daily activities within a few weeks, but full recovery may take longer.
Some deformations or shape changes may occur in the breast after breast surgery. However, this risk is tried to be minimised with methods such as breast conserving surgery.
Radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be required after breast surgery, depending on the stage of the cancer, the size of the tumour and other pathological findings. The treatment plan is determined by a multidisciplinary team.
Early diagnosis increases the chances of success in the treatment of breast cancer and allows the use of less invasive surgical methods. Therefore, regular check-ups and early diagnosis are of great importance.
