*Normal BreastTo understand breast cancer, it helps to have some basic
knowledge about the normal structure of the breast :
![Page 3: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The female breast is made up mainly of lobules
(milk-producing glands), ducts (tiny tubes that
carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple),
and stroma (fatty tissue and connective tissue
surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood
vessels, and lymphatic vessels).
![Page 4: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
*Breast cancer
Breast cancer is a type of cancer originating from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk.
![Page 5: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The first noticeable symptom of breast cancer is typically a lump that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue.
More than 80% of breast cancer cases are discovered when the woman feels a lump. The earliest breast cancers are detected by a mammogram. Lumps found in lymph nodes located in the armpits can also indicate breast cancer.

*Types of breast cancers
There are several types of breast cancer,
but some of them are quite rare. In some
cases a single breast tumor can be a
combination of these
![Page 7: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
:-Ductal carcinoma in situDuctal carcinoma in situ . DCIS is the most common type of
non-invasive breast cancer. DCIS means that the cancer cells
are inside the ducts but have not spread through the walls of
the ducts into the surrounding breast tissue.
![Page 8: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
:Invasive (or infiltrating) ductal carcinoma
This is the most common type of breast cancer. (IDC)
starts in a milk duct of the breast, breaks through the
wall of the duct, and grows into the fatty tissue of the
breast.
![Page 9: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
-Invasive (or infiltrating) lobular carcinomaInvasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) starts in the milk-
producing glands (lobules). Like IDC,it can spread
(metastasize) to other parts of the body.
![Page 10: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
:Less common types of breast cancer
-Inflammatory breast cancer: This uncommon type of invasive breast cancer
accounts for about 1% to 3% of all breast cancers.
Usually there is no single lump or tumor. Instead,
inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) makes the skin on
the breast look red and feel warm.
![Page 11: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
type -Paget disease of the nipple:
This of breast cancer starts in the breast ducts
and spreads to the skin of the nipple and then
to the areola, the dark circle around the
nipple. It is rare, accounting for only about
1% of all cases of breast cancer.
![Page 12: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
:Epidemiology of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in
the world and the most common cancer among women.
Breast cancer still persists as an international health
burden despite advances in its early diagnosis,
treatment and also increased knowledge of its
established risk factors. Although North American and
Northern European countries have the highest rates of
breast cancer incidence, the incidence of this disease is
increasing in developing countries. Asia, the largest
continent in the world.
![Page 13: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Numerous epidemiological studies on risk factors
of breast cancer have produced evidence on
international variations. Many studies in the
literature have reported that breast cancer is
related to the reproductive life of women; such as
early menarche, late menopause, nulliparity, late
age at first birth, diet, physical exercise and
hormone usage
![Page 14: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The American Cancer Society's most recent
estimates for breast cancer in the United States
are for 2012:
•About 226,870 new cases of invasive breast
cancer will be diagnosed in women.
•About 63,300 new cases of carcinoma in situ
(CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is noninvasive and
is the earliest form of breast cancer).
About 39,510 women will die
![Page 15: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman's death is about 1 in 36 (about 3%). Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, with larger decreases in women younger than 50. These decreases are believed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment

Gender
• Simply being a woman , is the main risk factor for developing breast cancer.
![Page 19: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Aging
The older the women is , the more likely she is to get breast cancer.
• Why does age increase the risk of breast cancer?
![Page 20: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Genetic risk factor
About 5% to 10% of breast cancer cases are thought to be hereditary.
• Inherited gene that may cause breast cancer include:BRCA1,BRCA2,tp53.
![Page 21: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Family & Personal history of breast cancer
• Breast cancer risk is higher among women whose close blood relative have this disease.
• Less than 15% of women with breast cancer have a family member with this disease.
![Page 22: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Certain benign breast conditions
Women diagnosed with certain benign breast conditions might have an increased risk of breast cancer.
![Page 23: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
certain benign breast conditions are divided into 3 groups, depending on how they affect this risk:
A)Non-proliferative lesions: These conditions are not associated with overgrowth of breast tissue.
B)Proliferative lesions without atypia:Theyseem to raise a woman's risk of breast cancer slightly (1½ to 2 times normal).
![Page 24: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• C)Proliferative lesions with atypia: They have a stronger effect on breast cancer risk, raising it 3 1/2 to 5 times higher than normal.
![Page 25: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Menstural periods
• Women who have had more menstrual cycles because they started menstruating early(before age 12) and/or went through menopause later (after age 55) have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer.
![Page 26: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Factors with controversial ,or
unproven effect
Diet and vitamin intake
Antiperspirants
Abortion
Fertility drugs
Hair dyes
Trauma to the breast
![Page 27: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Diet and vitamin intake
Most studies have found that breast cancer is less common in countries where the typical diet is low in total fat, low in polyunsaturated fat, and low in saturated fat.
![Page 28: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Antiperspirants
• large study of breast cancer causes found no increase in breast cancer in women who used underarm antiperspirants and/or shaved their underarms.
![Page 29: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Abortion
• Research clearly shows no link between abortion and breast cancer.
![Page 30: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fertility drugs
• Fertility drugs stimulate the ovaries, causing estrogen levels in the body to increase. Because high estrogen levels are linked to breast cancer risk, it has been suggested that the use of fertility drugs might also increase risk.
![Page 31: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Life-style related risk factors
Giving birth(pregnancy)
Number of children(number of birth)
Breast feeding
Blood estrogen level
Alcohol
Weight gain and exercise
![Page 34: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Giving birth(pregnancy)
• women who have had no children or who had their first child after age 30 have a slightly higher breast cancer risk.
![Page 35: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
-Why dose age matter?
There are a few possible reasons, One reason relates to breast cells. During pregnancy, breast cells grow rapidly .
![Page 36: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Number of children(number of birth)
-In general, the more children a woman has given birth to, the lower her risk of breast cancer .
![Page 37: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Breast feeding
• the longer a woman breast feeds, the greater the reduction in risk, with a 4.3% decrease in cancer for every 12 months of breast feeding.
![Page 38: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Blood estrogen level
• estrogen is produced in a woman’s body (in the ovaries) and is essential for the development of the breast.
![Page 39: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• paradoxically estrogen is also involved in the development of breast cancer via the stimulation and proliferation of breast cancer cells

*Established risk factors for breast cancer - all of which increase a woman’s estrogen exposure:
• Starting periods early.
• Late onset of the menopause.
• Not having children or having them later in life.
• Not breastfeeding or breast feeding for only a short time.
• Use of oral contraceptives.
• Use of hormone replacement therapy.
• Obesity.
• Regular intake of alcohol
![Page 42: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Alcohol
• Drinking alcohol has consistently been shown to increase breast cancer risk, in both pre- and post-menopausal women.
![Page 43: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Weight gain and exercise
• Being overweight or obese after menopause increases breast cancer risk.
• Physical activity reduces a woman’s breast cancer risk, so regular exercise is advisable.
![Page 44: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Environmental factors
• It is factors in our environment i.e. the world around us, that are thought to be responsible for at least some of the unexplained proportion (50%) of cases .
• Exposure to certain man-made chemicals that can mimic hormones.
• Our reliance on synthetic chemicals has increased dramatically over the last 50 years, and they are an integral part of our everyday 21st century lives, providing many lifestyle benefits.
![Page 45: Breast cancer](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559b551e1a28ab810c8b4669/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Some chemicals found in our environment that have estrogen-
disrupting properties:
Several pesticides : DTT, some pyrethroidinsecticides , methoxychlor..

Conclusion
• Breast cancer is a disease of
premenopausal women as a whole, but
it's also affecting younger ages due to
underlying risk factors of life-style
changes and more exposure to man-
made chemicals that has became a
part of our daily life .The most cause of
the cancer may be due to risk factors
of age, family history, estrogen level
and environmental factors.
