Breast cancer is not only attacking a woman, you surely already know them. Unfortunately, men less recognize the clinical symptoms of this disease, so the cancer spreads or diidap already entered an advanced stage.
Clinical symptoms of breast cancer in men resemble the symptoms that women experience and derived from the mammary gland. The difference is, men are rarely affected by this disease before the age of 50 years. Generally this is a lot of experienced men in the elderly. Therefore, after the age of 50 years, men are advised wary of dense and hard lumps behind the nipples.
Symptoms
Bumps. These symptoms are the same as that experienced by female breast cancer, initially just a bump. But because fewer male breast tissue than women, the appearance of lumps in the breast that is still very little else should have been palpable. Benjolah generally experienced only in one breast, and feels hard when touched, menggerenjil.
Changes to the nipple. When cancer is advanced stage, there is a change in the nipple and the black area around the nipple. Skin red nipples grow, shrink, drawn into, or may be nipple discharge.
Triggers and Causes
Genetic. A man's risk of suffering from this disease if there are relatives, whether male or female, who had breast cancer. Father with breast cancer gene mutations can also pass the cancer to her daughter.
Lifestyle bad. Smoking and drinking alcohol also increases the risk of cancer.
Liver disease. Liver metabolism (fatty liver) causes disturbed hormonal metabolism and trigger enlargement of mammary glands in the malignant breast. Enlargement of mammary glands in males may be caused by complications of liver disease, no hormonal or chromosomal abnormalities.
Excess female sex hormones. Men who suffer from an excess of estrogen for a long time is not impossible that a sudden being able to have breasts. The higher levels of estrogen in the blood, the greater the size of her breasts. Examples of estrogen therapy in men who are sex change operations, for example.
Detection
Doing breast self-exam. Prompts for early detection of breast cancer by doing BSE (Breast Self-Examination) does not apply only to women but also for men. Men should feel lucky because they would be easier to detect lumps around the breast.
Mammography (X-rays for breast). At mammography use of low-dose x-ray to find abnormal areas in the breast.
Ultrasonography / ultrasound (photographing the inside of organs.) Ultrasound is used to distinguish a cyst (fluid-filled sac) with a solid lump.
Treatment
Usually the treatment is initiated after detailed investigation of the condition of the patient that is about 1 week after biopsy. Treatment consists of surgery, radiation therapy used to kill cancer cells in the removal of the tumor and the surrounding area including the lymph nodes.
Chemotherapy (combination of drugs to kill the cells that proliferate rapidly or suppress breeding) and hormone inhibitor drugs (drugs that affect the hormones that promote the growth of cancer cells) are used to suppress the growth of cancer cells throughout the body.
Results of treatment depends on the stage or extent of cancer at the time of treatment.
