The method that treats breast cancer which is good

Conservative treatment: early breast conserving therapy does not affect the survival rate of patients with early breast cancer. After breast conserving therapy, the recurrence rate of the affected breast is basically the same as that of "traditional" surgery. At present, tens of thousands of cases of breast conserving surgery have been performed in the world, which proves that the survival rate is basically the same as that of total mastectomy, and the same long-term survival rate as the "traditional" method of modified radical mastectomy can be obtained. After breast conserving therapy, if there is recurrence in the affected side of the breast, remedial mastectomy can be performed, and the survival rate is similar to that of the general modified radical mastectomy.

Second, targeted therapy: there is a new treatment for breast cancer, targeted therapy. Clinically, about 2 / 5 of breast cancer patients express HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2). HER2 gene amplification in HER2 positive breast cancer cells leads to the overexpression of HER2 protein on the cell surface, which stimulates the proliferation of cancer cells. It's like the mouth that people eat. The more mouths they have, the more food they eat and the faster they grow. Therefore, HER2 positive tumors have higher malignancy, faster progression, easier recurrence and metastasis, shorter disease-free survival and poor prognosis, and are "the most dangerous breast cancer"

Treatment 3. Endocrine therapy: endometrial thickening will not increase the risk of cancer. In clinical work, some patients have some bias for tamoxifen endocrine therapy. They believe that taking tamoxifen for a long time will lead to the side effects of endometrial thickening, which will increase the risk of endometrial cancer. In fact, the positive effect of tamoxifen endocrine therapy in preventing breast cancer recurrence and metastasis is far greater than the side effect of endometrial thickening. Many clinical studies have confirmed that endometrial thickening is not necessarily associated with the occurrence of endometrial cancer.

matters needing attention

The disease of breast cancer needs to be treated as soon as possible after it is found, and the method of treatment should also be selected according to their own condition. At ordinary times, we should pay attention to the method of prevention, adhere to physical exercise, actively participate in social activities, avoid and reduce mental and psychological tension, and maintain peace of mind.
