Breast cancer

Breast cancer is breast cancer on the network. This is the most common type of cancer that women suffer. Men can also contract breast cancer, although the probability is smaller than 1 in 1000. The most common treatment is surgery and, if necessary followed by chemotherapy and radiation.

Cancer is a condition in which cells have lost control and the normal mechanisms, so that growth is not normal, fast and not restrained. (http://www.mediasehat.com/utama07.php)

Breast cancer (Carcinoma mammae) is a malignant disease that neoplasma derived from the parenchyma. This disease by Word Health Organization (WHO) to be included in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) with the code number 17 (http://www.tempo.co.id/medika/arsip/082002/pus-3.htm

Patofisiologi
Tuesday transformation-formed cancer cells from normal cells in a complex process called transformation, which consists of the initiation and promotion phase.

at the initiation stage occurs a change in the genetic material of cells that provoke the cells to become malignant. Changes in the genetic material of cells is caused by an agent called Carcinogen, which can form chemicals, viruses, radiation (irradiation) or sunlight.

but not all cells have the same sensitivity to a Carcinogen. aberration in the genetic material of cells or other called promoter, causing the cells more vulnerable to a Carcinogen. even physical interference menahunpun can make cells become more sensitive to experience a malignancy.

on the stage of the campaign, a cell that has experienced a change initiatives will become malignant.
Cells not pass through initiation stage will not be affected by the campaign. because it required several factors to the occurrence of violence (a combination of the sensitive cells and a Carcinogen).

Stadium Stadium cancer is a disease condition results from a doctor diagnose a disease when the cancer patient who suffered, is the extent to which the level of the spread of cancer is better to the organ or tissue around and far into the spread of the Stadium is only known in the malignant tumor or cancer and not in the tumor tame.

To determine a stadium, should be conducted clinical examination and inspection by the other supporting histopatologi or PA, X-rays, USG, and, if possible with the CT scan, etc. scintigrafi. Many ways to determine the stadium, but for many the most current stadium cancer is based on the TNM classification system recommended by the UICC (International Union Against Cancer from the WHO or the World Health Organization) / AJCC (American Joint Committee on cancer sponsored by the American Cancer Society and the American College of Surgeons).

In the TNM system of assessed three main factors, namely "Q", namely tumor size or tumor size, "N", namely node or regional lymph glands and "M" Metastasis is the spread or distant. The third factor Q, N, M votes either be done before clinical operations, also conducted after the operation and inspection histopatologi (PA)
