Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in the world. It is estimated that one in nine women is expected to develop this tumor. Therefore, attention to this cancer has become very important for early detection. Early detection has significantly reduced the mortality rate. In Jordan, I have seen women who develop breast cancer at the age of 17 to 90 years.
Early detection: The diagnosis begins with the woman herself, who strongly recommends that she examine herself periodically and in front of a research mirror to see if there is any difference between the breasts and she is holding her hands down and holding her hands up. Then examine each breast with the middle three fingers (ring finger, middle finger) from the other hand. The breast is divided by four quarters. Women are interested to see if every quarter is free of any alcohol. If you have a lump somewhere, consult your doctor. This should be done every month. Mammograms are not recommended for women under the age of 40, since they are less effective. But it is recommended for women over this age if you do not feel a tumor or a mass. However, if the tumor or mass is felt Vladi to work such a radiation.
Diagnosis: The woman should go to the doctor in charge of such matters. A sample of the tumor should be taken. It is highly recommended that this sample be made by needles and without surgery. We can reveal the cause of this tumor if it is a cancerous tumor or a benign tumor. The biopsy is taken from the local anesthetic, where the patient feels nothing at all. This needle is also very accurate and usually leads to careful diagnosis. In addition, it does not leave scars in the breast, and does not lead to the spread of the tumor in the event of the tumor was carcinogenic. It has been operating in Jordan now in more than 3,000 cases. The right way to follow the procedure here in our laboratory is to take samples of breast tumors in microcirculation to take cells and study them as well as needles to take tissues and study in addition to taking samples of the underarm glands.
Types of tumors in the breast:
Breast tumors are a different group of tumors, all of which appear as lumps in the breast. However, their treatment is determined according to the microscopic examination of each one, which is now available thanks to the technique of sampling the needles without surgery.
