Rak dojke: Opasan, ali i izlečiv (VIDEO)

Juče je bio Svetski dan borbe protiv raka, a danas se fokusiramo na prevenciju i rano otkrivanje konkretno raka dojke.

Danas se ova bolest može uspešno lečiti, a čak i u podmakloj fazi bolesti, rak dojke se ne mora završi fatalnim ishodom.

Za njega kažemo da je heterogena bolest, što znači da se ispoljava u mnogo kliničkih oblika, sa veoma različitim kliničkim tokom i teško predvidivim ishodom.

Međutim ukoliko se rak dojke dijagnostifikuje u ranim stadijumima bolesti, čak 70 do 80 odsto pacijentkinja ima dobre izglede za trajno izlečenje.

Najčešċi simptom prepoznavanja raka dojke je opipljiv čvor u dojci, kog žene same napipaju.

Health prevention, a reminder to check breast monthly. During a shower or while laying down are the best times to remember to check.

Ostali znaci razvoja tumora su: uveċanje dojke, asimetrija dojki, crvenilo i zadebljanje kože, uvećani limfni čvorovi, uvlačenje bradavice ili krvavi iscedak iz bradavice.

Danas se ipak preporučuju preventivni pregledi dojki koji imaju šansu za otkrivanje tumora pre nego što dostigne veličinu koja bi omogućila da ga žena sama napipa.

HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HAVING BREAST CANCER. If you're concerned about developing breast cancer, you might be wondering if there are steps you can take to help prevent breast cancer. Some risk factors, such as family history, can't be changed. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk. – What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer? To lower your risk: 1. Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. The general recommendation — based on research on the effect of alcohol on breast cancer risk — is to limit yourself to less than one drink a day, as even small amounts increase risk. 2. Don't smoke. Evidence suggests a link between smoking and breast cancer risk, particularly in premenopausal women. 3. Control your weight. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast cancer. This is especially true if obesity occurs later in life, particularly after menopause. 4. Be physically active. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, which helps prevent breast cancer. Most healthy adults should aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity weekly, plus strength training at least twice a week. 5. Breast-feed. Breast-feeding might play a role in breast cancer prevention. The longer you breast-feed, the greater the protective effect. 6. Limit dose and duration of hormone therapy. Combination hormone therapy for more than three to five years increases the risk of breast cancer. If you're taking hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms, ask your doctor about other options. You might be able to manage your symptoms with nonhormonal therapies and medications. If you decide that the benefits of short-term hormone therapy outweigh the risks, use the lowest dose that works for you and continue to have your doctor monitor the length of time you're taking hormones. 7. Avoid exposure to radiation and environmental pollution. Medical-imaging methods, such as computerized tomography, use high doses of radiation. #NoBraDay #breastcancerawareness #breastcancer #NJO

Sve žene od 25 godina trebale bi da urade ginekološki pregled najmanje jednom godišnje, preko 30. godina neophodan je samopregled dojki jednom mesečno kao i klinički pregled jednom godišnje, preko 45. godina obavezan je mamografski pregled jednom u dve godine.

Po potrebi , odnosno ukoliko se čvorić napipa, rade se i ultrazvučni pregled dojki kao i pregled magnetno rezonancom.

Tumori se na mamografskom pregledu pokazuju kao sitne bele tačkice, pod nazivom mikrokalcifikacije.

Procena o verovatnoći da se radi o dobroćudnom ili zloćudnom tumoru zavisi od izgleda i rasporeda samih mikrokalcifikacija.

Zavisno od te procene, pravi se plan za dalju akciju i po potrebi zakazuje uzimanje biopsije ili terapije.

Mamografija je zapravo jedina efikasna metoda dijagnostifikovanja ranih faza bolesti.
