Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops from breast tissue when the cells in the breast begin to grow uncontrollably, leading to the formation of a tumour.
Breast cancer can originate in different parts of the breast, most commonly in the lobules (glands that produce milk) and the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple). It is classified into various types based on the location and characteristics of the cancer cells:
A family history of breast cancer or mutations in certain genes (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2) can significantly increase the risk.
Some women may experience temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensitivity after the surgery, which may take several months to resolve.
Women who have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer are at an increased risk of developing a second cancer.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
A low-dose X-ray examination of the breasts is the most common screening method. Women are typically advised to begin regular mammograms at age 40, or earlier based on individual risk factors.
A physical examination of the breasts by a healthcare provider to check for lumps or abnormalities.
This imaging technique uses sound waves to create images of the breast and is often used to further evaluate abnormalities found during a mammogram.
Magnetic resonance imaging is sometimes used for high-risk individuals or to evaluate certain abnormalities.
If an abnormality is detected, a biopsy may be performed to remove a sample of tissue for laboratory analysis. There are several types of biopsies, including fine needle aspiration, core needle biopsy, and surgical biopsy.
Genetic tests can help identify inherited mutations that may increase the risk of breast cancer, particularly in individuals with a family history of the disease.
After treatment, regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor recovery and detect any signs of recurrence. Patients are encouraged to attend regular check-ups, where healthcare providers can assess their health and address any concerns. Continuing to perform breast self-exams is also advised, as it helps individuals detect any changes early. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking can further support overall health and well-being.
