Breast cancer is treatable
The breast is an organ in which tumours often develop. Most of them are benign: they grow slowly, the cells do not spread to other tissues. Malignant formations are characterised by aggressiveness and the ability to metastasize.
Breast oncology for a long time can be asymptomatic, which complicates early diagnosis. However, with timely detection, the chances of recovery are high. It is especially important to choose the right methods of therapy and start them as early as possible.
How does breast cancer manifest itself?
At the initial stages of the disease is often not manifested in any way. However, you should be alert to the following signs:
- change in shape;
- a lump without pain;
- wrinkled skin on the breast;
- swelling of the nipples, discharge of blood;
- pain in one of the mammary glands;
- enlargement of the axillary lymph nodes.
Diagnosis at an early stage significantly increases the chances of success. If the disease is detected at stage zero, the probability of full recovery reaches 90%. For early detection, regular mammography – a special X-ray examination – is recommended. It should be done at least twice a year, especially if there is a hereditary factor.
How is breast cancer treated?
Treatment is selected individually depending on the type, stage of the disease and the presence of metastases. In the fight against the disease are used:
- surgical intervention;
- chemotherapy;
- radiation therapy.
Modern approaches provide for the combined use of several methods to achieve the best result.
Surgery is aimed at removing formations. If oncology is detected at an early stage, organ-preserving surgery is possible. When the disease spreads, the risk of incomplete removal of malignant tissue increases.
Chemotherapy involves the use of potent drugs in the form of pills, injections or intravenous infusions. It helps to reduce the size of the tumour or destroy cells left behind after surgery. Side effects include weakness, hair loss, nausea and decreased immunity.
Radiation therapy targets fast-growing cells with high doses of radiation. This method also comes with side effects similar to those of chemotherapy.
If the disease is diagnosed at an advanced stage, palliative therapy is performed to relieve symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.
Where is it better to undergo treatment?
Modern breast cancer treatment is possible in domestic clinics, but many patients choose Israel. Israeli medical centres use advanced equipment and the latest technology, and the cost is often lower than in European countries.
One of the recognised leaders in organising treatment abroad is VK MEDICAL LOGISTIC. Representative offices of the company work in major cities of Ukraine, providing patient support services.
Diagnostics can be started in Ukraine: the company's specialists organise the collection of analyses, including histology and cytology, with subsequent shipment to Israeli clinics. After the results are processed, an individual plan is developed, including surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The cost of services is fixed at the planning stage and remains unchanged.
The company provides free consultations, helps to choose a clinic and a doctor, and assists in organising fundraising for payment.
