Breast Cancer Risks, Symptoms, Diagnosis Delay

 

Breast cancer medical malpractice lawyers and doctors know increased risk for this disease is older age, having BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes,  family history, periods before age 12, menopause after 55, overweight, taking birth control or hormone therapy, no children or first child born after age 35, and having dense breasts.

Breast cancer malpractice attorneys understand failure to diagnose symptoms such as a lump, change in size or shape of the breasts or discharge from a nipple. Self-exam and mammography can help find these cancers early when most treatable. Treatments consist of radiation, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy. Our doctors review a case or lawsuit for referral.

 

 

Types of Breast Cancers, Cancer Staging

 

Types of breast cancer include carcinoma (majority), sarcoma and inflammatory. Carcinomas account for 85 percent of all malignancies, and affect the ducts and lobes of the breasts. At the in situ stage, ductal or lobular carcinoma are non-invasive or pre-malignant. The majority of carcinomas have already spread (metastasize, invasive) by the time they are detected.

 

A breast cancer malpractice law firm lawyer, attorney, and medical doctor knows about the TNM breast cancer stages system which evaluates tumors (T) by size, involvement of lymph nodes (N), and extent of metastasis (M). Stages are determined by testing such as x-ray, CT, MRI, biopsy and even surgical pathology to avoid diagnosing errors-mistakes.

 

 

Breast Cancers Treatment and Surgery

 

Radiation therapy may be used at all stages of breast cancer, and in combination with other treatment. Used to control or shrink malignancy and destroy abnormal cells. Chemotherapy is used for some types of tumors, but not at all stages of cancer. It may be used to shrink a malignancy before radiation or surgery, or after surgery to destroy any remaining cancerous cells.

Surgery includes biopsy and radical mastectomy breasts cancer treatments. Biopsies are remove tissue samples to aid diagnosis and assess cancers proliferation. Biopsy also removes small structures, such as lymph nodes, invaded by cancer cells. A lumpectomy removes benign or malignant tumors not yet metastasized, or a some normal ("margins") tissue around a tumor.
