General Breast Cancer Information
Breast cancer is a life-threatening tumor that begins in the breast. If the tumor is not found and treated early, cancer can spread to lymph nodes in the armpit and spread throughout the body. The human breast is a gland made up of milk ducts, lobes, fatty tissue and lymphatic vessels. Cancerous tumors can arise in any part of the breast and are most commonly detected when a woman finds a lump during bathing or a self-breast exam. Not all breast lumps are cancerous, but the only way to tell is by professional examination.

Approximately 175,000 Americans are diagnosed with breast cancer annually; 43,000 of those with breast cancer die each year. Only lung cancer kills more women under the age of 54 than breast cancer, but breast cancer is detected early, the five-year-plus survival rate is about 95 percent. Breast cancer most commonly strikes women, but one percent of breast cancer cases are men.

Possible Causes of Breast Cancer
There is no known cause of breast cancer, but many experts believe the female hormone estrogen plays a part. Some risk factors that have been identified for breast cancer include a family history of the disease, beginning the menstrual cycle before age 9, onset of menopause after age 55, having a first child after age 40 and having no children.

Possible Symptoms and complications of Breast Cancer
Early breast cancer is usually caught through a mammogram before any symptoms are present. Some symptoms of breast cancer include a new or unusual lump or thickening in the breast or armpit; a change in size or shape of the breast; discharge or bleeding from the nipple with no squeezing of the nipple; a change in the nipple (inverting, scaling or crusting); darkening of the nipple or other areas of the breast; and a breast lump in a man.


The most dangerous complication of breast cancer is the possiblity that it my spread to other parts of the body. Other complications include problems associated with mastectomy surgery and side effects of chemotherapy.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Breast Cancer
Controlling risk factors is the best way to prevent breast cancer. Although some risk factors cannot be avoided (being female, having a family history of the disease, time of onset of menstruation and menopause), there are some actions people can take, including attaining and maintain a healthy weight, eating a low fat diet, reducing alcohol intake and breast feeding for longer than 12 months.

Breast Cancer Self Test
It is essential that women examine their own breasts every month past age 20, preferably during the first week after menstruation. Do not examine the breasts during the menstrual period. Become familiar with the look and feel of the breasts so that any changes can be detected.

The breast self-exam should follow these three steps:
1. While standing in front of a mirror, press the hands together over the head and look at the shape of the breasts. Place hands on the hips and look for any dimpling, irritation, changes in the nipples, changes in the size of each breast or thickening or scaling on the breasts.

2. Raise one arm above the head and firmly explore the breast with the opposite hand using a circular motion. Work from the outer edge inward toward the nipple. Examine the nipple and armpit as well. Look for lumps that are hard and do not move. After fully examining one breast, repeat this step on other side.

3. Lie down on the back and repeat step 2. Also squeeze each nipple to check for blood or any discharge.
