<li> <div class="MMlistPara">If doctors suspect ovarian cancer, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, or computed tomography is done.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Usually, both ovaries, both fallopian tubes, and the uterus are removed.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Chemotherapy is often needed after surgery.</div></li>
</ul><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-631"></a> <div class="MMpara">Cancer of the ovaries (ovarian carcinoma) develops most often in women aged 50 to 70. This cancer eventually develops in about 1 of 70 women. In the United States, it is the second most common gynecologic cancer. However, more women die of ovarian cancer than of any other gynecologic cancer. It is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths in women.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-632"></a> <div class="MMpara">Factors that increase the risk of ovarian cancer include the following:</div><ul class="MMbulletedSidebar"><li> <div class="MMlistPara">Being older (the most important)</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Not having any children</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Having a first child late in life</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Starting menstruating early</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Having menopause late</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Having had or having a family member who had cancer of the uterus, breast, or large intestine (colon)</div></li>
</ul><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-632a"></a> <div class="MMpara">The risk of ovarian cancer is higher in developed countries because the diet tends to be high in fat. Use of oral contraceptives significantly decreases risk.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-632b"></a> <div class="MMpara">About 5 to 10% of cases are related to the <i>BRCA</i> gene, which is also involved in some breast cancers. In these cases, ovarian and breast cancer tends to run in families. This abnormal gene is most common among Ashkenazi Jewish women.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-633"></a> <div class="MMpara">There are many types of ovarian cancer. They develop from the many different types of cells in the ovaries. Cancers that start on the surface of the ovaries (epithelial carcinomas) account for at least 80%. Most other ovarian cancers start from the cells that produce eggs (called germ cell tumors) or in connective tissue (called stromal cell tumors). Germ cell tumors are much more common among women younger than 30. Sometimes cancers from other parts of the body spread to the ovaries. </div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-634"></a> <div class="MMpara">Ovarian cancer can spread directly to the surrounding area and through the lymphatic system to other parts of the pelvis and abdomen. It can also spread through the bloodstream, eventually appearing in distant parts of the body, mainly the liver and lungs.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-635"></a><a href="" name="Symptoms"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Symptoms</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-636"></a> <div class="MMpara">Ovarian cancer causes the affected ovary to enlarge. In young women, enlargement of an ovary is likely to be caused by a noncancerous fluid-filled sac (cyst). However, after menopause, an enlarged ovary can be a sign of ovarian cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-637"></a> <div class="MMpara">Many women have no symptoms until the cancer is advanced. The first symptom may be vague discomfort in the lower abdomen, similar to indigestion. Other symptoms may include bloating, loss of appetite (because the stomach is compressed), gas pains, and backache. Ovarian cancer rarely causes vaginal bleeding.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-638"></a> <div class="MMpara">Eventually, the abdomen may swell because the ovary enlarges or fluid accumulates in the abdomen. At this stage, pain in the pelvic area, anemia, and weight loss are common. Rarely, germ cell or stromal cell tumors produce estrogens, which can cause tissue in the uterine lining to grow excessively and breasts to enlarge. Or these tumors may produce male hormones (androgens), which can cause body hair to grow excessively, or hormones that resemble thyroid hormones, which can cause hyperthyroidism.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-638a"></a><a href="" name="Diagnosis"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Diagnosis</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-639"></a> <div class="MMpara">Diagnosing ovarian cancer in its early stages is difficult because symptoms usually do not appear until the cancer is quite large or has spread beyond the ovaries and because many less serious disorders cause similar symptoms.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-640"></a> <div class="MMpara">If doctors detect an enlarged ovary during a physical examination, ultrasonography is done first. Sometimes computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to help distinguish an ovarian cyst from a cancerous mass. If advanced cancer is suspected, CT or MRI is usually done before surgery to determine extent of the cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-640a"></a> <div class="MMpara">If cancer seems unlikely, doctors reexamine the woman periodically.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-640b"></a> <div class="MMpara">If doctors suspect cancer or test results are unclear, the ovaries are examined using a thin, flexible viewing tube (laparoscope) inserted through a small incision just below the navel. Also, tissue samples are removed using instruments threaded through the laparoscope and examined (biopsied). In addition, blood tests are usually done to measure levels of substances that may indicate the presence of cancer (tumor markers), such as cancer antigen 125 (CA 125). Abnormal marker levels alone do not confirm the diagnosis of cancer, but when combined with other information, they can help confirm it.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-641"></a> <div class="MMpara">If fluid has accumulated in the abdomen, it can be drawn out (aspirated) through a needle and tested to determine whether cancer cells are present.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-641a"></a> <div class="MMpara">If doctors suspect advanced cancer or cancer is confirmed, they make an incision in the abdomen to obtain a tissue sample. At the same time, they remove as much of the cancer as possible and determine how far the cancer has spread (its stage).</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-642"></a><a href="" name="Prognosis"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Prognosis</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-643"></a> <div class="MMpara">The prognosis is based on the stage (see Cancers of the Female Reproductive System: Staging Cancers of the Female Reproductive System*). The percentages of women who are alive 5 years after diagnosis and treatment are </div><ul class="MMbulletedSidebar"><li> <div class="MMlistPara">Stage I: 70 to 100% </div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Stage II: 50 to 70% </div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Stage III: 20 to 50% </div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Stage IV: 10 to 20% </div></li>
</ul><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-643a"></a> <div class="MMpara">The prognosis is worse when the cancer is more aggressive or when surgery cannot remove all visibly abnormal tissue. Cancer recurs in 70% of women who have had stage III or IV cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-643b"></a><a href="" name="Prevention"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Prevention</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-643c"></a> <div class="MMpara">Some experts believe that if ovarian or breast cancer runs in the family, women should be tested for genetic abnormalities. If first- or second-degree relatives have such cancers, particularly among Ashkenazi Jewish families, women should discuss genetic testing for <i>BRCA</i> abnormalities with their doctors. Women with certain <i>BRCA</i> gene mutations may be offered the option of having both ovaries and tubes removed after they no longer wish to bear children, even when no cancer is present. This approach eliminates the risk of ovarian cancer and reduces the risk of breast cancer. These women should be evaluated by a gynecologist who specializes in cancer (gynecologic oncologist). More information is available from the National Cancer Institute Cancer Information Service (1-800-4-CANCER) and the Women's Cancer Network (WCN) web site (www.wcn.org).</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-643d"></a><a href="" name="Treatment"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Treatment</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-644"></a> <div class="MMpara">The extent of surgery depends on the type of ovarian cancer and the stage. For most cancers, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus are removed. When cancer has spread beyond the ovary, nearby lymph nodes and surrounding structures that the cancer typically spreads to are also removed. If a woman has stage I cancer that affects only one ovary and she wishes to become pregnant, doctors may remove only the affected ovary and fallopian tube. For more advanced cancers that have spread to other parts of the body, removing as much of the cancer as possible prolongs survival.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252c-645"></a> <div class="MMpara">After surgery, most women with stage I epithelial carcinomas usually require no further treatment. For other stage I cancers or for more advanced cancers, chemotherapy may be used to destroy any small areas of cancer that may remain.

However, a hydatidiform mole can develop from cells that remain in the uterus after a miscarriage or a full-term pregnancy. Rarely, a hydatidiform mole develops when there is a living fetus.

But because hydatidiform moles grow much faster than a fetus, the abdomen becomes larger much faster than it does in a normal pregnancy.

</ul><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-648"></a> <div class="MMpara">The cervix is the lower part of the uterus. It extends into the vagina. In the United States, cervical cancer (cervical carcinoma) is the third most common gynecologic cancer among all women and the most common among younger women. It usually affects women aged 35 to 55, but it can affect women as young as 20.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-649"></a> <div class="MMpara">This cancer is usually caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted during sexual intercourse. This virus also causes genital warts (see Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Genital Warts). The younger a woman was the first time she had sexual intercourse and the more sex partners she has had, the higher her risk of cervical cancer. Risk is also increased by having intercourse with men whose previous partners had cervical cancer, by smoking cigarettes, and by having a weakened immune system (due to a disorder such as cancer or AIDS or to drugs such as chemotherapy drugs or corticosteroids).</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-650"></a> <div class="MMpara">About 80 to 85% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, which develop in the flat, skinlike cells covering the cervix. Most other cervical cancers are adenocarcinomas, which develop from gland cells</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-651"></a> <div class="MMpara">Cervical cancer begins with slow, progressive changes in normal cells on the surface of the cervix. These changes, called dysplasia or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), are considered precancerous. That means that if untreated, they may progress to cancer, sometimes after years.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-651a"></a> <div class="MMpara">Cervical cancer begins on the surface of the cervix and can penetrate deep beneath the surface. The cancer can spread directly to nearby tissues, including the vagina. Or it can enter the rich network of small blood and lymphatic vessels inside the cervix, then spread to other parts of the body.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-652"></a><a href="" name="Symptoms"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Symptoms</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-653"></a> <div class="MMpara">Precancerous changes usually cause no symptoms. In the early stages, cervical cancer may cause no symptoms or cause abnormal bleeding from the vagina, most often after intercourse. Spotting or heavier bleeding may occur between periods, or periods may be unusually heavy. Large cancers are more likely to cause bleeding and may cause a foul-smelling discharge from the vagina and pain in the pelvic area.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-653a"></a> <div class="MMpara">If the cancer is widespread, it can cause lower back pain and swelling of the legs.

Pap tests accurately detect up to 90% of cervical cancers, even before symptoms develop. They can also detect dysplasia. Women with dysplasia should be checked again in 3 to 4 months. Dysplasia can be treated, thus helping prevent cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-656"></a> <div class="MMpara">If a growth, a sore, or another abnormal area is seen on the cervix during a pelvic examination or if a Pap test detects dysplasia or cancer, a biopsy is done. Usually, doctors use an instrument with a binocular magnifying lens (colposcope), inserted through the vagina, to examine the cervix and to choose the best biopsy site. Two different types of biopsy are done: </div><ul class="MMbulletedSidebar"><li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Punch biopsy:</b> A tiny piece of the cervix, selected using the colposcope, is removed.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Endocervical curettage:</b> Tissue that cannot be viewed is scraped from inside the cervix.</div></li>
</ul><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-656a"></a> <div class="MMpara">These biopsies cause little pain and a small amount of bleeding. The two together usually provide enough tissue for pathologists to make a diagnosis.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-657"></a> <div class="MMpara">If the diagnosis is not clear, a cone biopsy is done to remove a larger cone-shaped piece of tissue. Usually, a thin wire loop with an electrical current running through it is used. This procedure is called the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). Alternatively, a laser (using a highly focused beam of light) can be used. Either procedure requires only a local anesthetic and can be done in the doctor's office. A cold (nonelectric) knife is sometimes used, but this procedure requires an operating room and an anesthetic.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-658"></a> <div class="MMpara">If cervical cancer is diagnosed, its exact size and locations (its stage) are determined. Staging begins with a physical examination of the pelvis. Various procedures (such as cystoscopy, a chest x-ray, and sigmoidoscopy) can be used to determine whether the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or to distant parts of the body. Other procedures, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a barium enema, bone and liver scans, and positron emission tomography (PET) may be done.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-659"></a><a href="" name="Prognosis"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Prognosis</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-660"></a> <div class="MMpara">Prognosis depends on the stage of the cancer (see Cancers of the Female Reproductive System: Staging Cancers of the Female Reproductive System*).

If test results are normal for 3 consecutive years, women may schedule Pap tests every 2 or 3 years as long as they do not change their sexual lifestyle. Any woman who has had cervical cancer or dysplasia should continue to have Pap tests at least once a year. If all women had Pap tests on a regular basis, deaths due to this cancer could be virtually eliminated.

These treatments preserve a woman's ability to have children. Because cancer can recur, doctors advise women to return for examinations and Pap tests every 3 months for the first year and every 6 months after that. Rarely, removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) is necessary.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-661c"></a> <div class="MMpara">If early-stage cancer involves more than the surface of the cervix, doctors usually do a hysterectomy and give radiation therapy and chemotherapy. If women with early-stage cervical cancer wish to preserve their ability to have children, a procedure called radical trachelectomy may be done. In this procedure, the cervix, the tissue next to the cervix, the upper part of the vagina, and the lymph nodes in the pelvis are removed. The uterus and vagina that remain are attached to each other. Thus, women still can become pregnant. However, babies must be delivered by cesarean section. This treatment appears to be as effective as other more invasive treatments for women with early-stage cervical cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-661d"></a> <a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252d-662"></a> <div class="MMpara"> <span class="MMhHeadTitle">Initial Spread Within the Pelvis: </span> Hysterectomy plus removal of surrounding tissues, ligaments, and lymph nodes (radical hysterectomy) is necessary.

Thus, having more menstrual periods during a lifetime may increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Tamoxifen, a drug used to treat breast cancer, blocks the effects of estrogen in the breast, but it has the same effects as estrogen in the uterus.

If cancer is suspected, doctors take a sample of tissue from the endometrium (endometrial biopsy) in their office and send it to a laboratory for analysis. This test accurately detects endometrial cancer more than 90% of the time. If the diagnosis is still uncertain, doctors scrape tissue from the uterine lining for analysis—a procedure called dilation and curettage (D and C—see Symptoms and Diagnosis of Gynecologic Disorders: Dilation and Curettage). At the same time, doctors may view the interior of the uterus using a thin, flexible viewing tube inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus in a procedure called hysteroscopy. Alternatively, an ultrasound device may be inserted through the vagina into the uterus (transvaginal ultrasonography) to evaluate abnormalities. </div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-623"></a> <div class="MMpara">If endometrial cancer is diagnosed, some or all of the following procedures may be done to determine whether the cancer has spread beyond the uterus: blood tests, kidney and liver function tests, and a chest x-ray. If results of the physical examination or other tests suggest that the cancer has spread beyond the uterus, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is done. Other procedures are sometimes required. Staging is based on information obtained from these procedures and during surgery to remove the cancer. </div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-624"></a><a href="" name="Prognosis"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Prognosis</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-625"></a> <div class="MMpara">If endometrial cancer is detected early, nearly 70 to 95% of women who have it survive at least 5 years, and most are cured. The prognosis is better for women whose cancer has not spread beyond the uterus. If the cancer grows relatively slowly, the prognosis is also better. Less than one third of women who have this cancer die of it.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-625a"></a><a href="" name="Treatment"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Treatment</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-626"></a> <div class="MMpara">Hysterectomy, surgical removal of the uterus, is the mainstay of treatment for women who have endometrial cancer. If the cancer has not spread beyond the uterus, removal of the uterus plus removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries (salpingo-oophorectomy) almost always cures the cancer. Unless the cancer is very advanced, hysterectomy improves the prognosis. Nearby lymph nodes are usually removed at the same time. These tissues are examined by a pathologist to determine whether the cancer has spread and, if so, how far it has spread. With this information, doctors can determine whether additional treatment (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a progestin) is needed after surgery. </div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-626a"></a> <div class="MMpara">For very advanced cancer, treatment varies but usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and occasionally synthetic hormones.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch252-ch252b-626b"></a> <div class="MMpara">Radiation therapy may be given after surgery in case some undetected cancer cells remain.

If the fluid is bloody, brown, or cloudy or if the cyst does not disappear or reappears within 12 weeks after it is drained, the entire cyst is removed surgically because cancer in the cyst wall, although rare, is possible.</b></div>Abdulwahab AlAtiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01978410063598199985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308713684423423250.post-66932373784500610692011-03-11T02:43:00.000-08:002011-03-11T02:43:34.293-08:00Breast Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><ul class="MMbulletedSidebar"><li> <div class="MMlistPara">Among women, breast cancer is the second most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer deaths.</div></li>

In 2006, breast cancer was diagnosed in about 213,000 women in the United States. About one fifth of them will die of it.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-502"></a> <div class="MMpara">Many women fear breast cancer, partly because it is common. However, some of the fear about breast cancer is based on misunderstanding. For example, the statement, “One of every eight women will get breast cancer,” is misleading. That figure is an estimate based on women from birth to age 95. It means that, theoretically, one of eight women who live to age 95 or older will develop breast cancer. However, a 40-year-old woman has only a 1 in 1,200 chance of developing breast cancer during the next year and about a 1 in 120 chance of developing it during the next decade. But as she ages, her risk increases.</div><a href="" name="tb251_2"></a> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MMIllustrativeFull" style="width: 522px;"><tbody>

About 60% of breast cancers occur in women older than 60. Risk is greatest after age 75.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Previous Breast Cancer</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">At highest risk are women who have had breast cancer. After the diseased breast is removed, the risk of developing cancer in the remaining breast is about 0.5 to 1.0% each year.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Family History of Breast Cancer</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">Breast cancer in a first-degree relative (mother, sister, or daughter) increases a woman's risk by 2 to 3 times, but breast cancer in more distant relatives (grandmother, aunt, or cousin) increases the risk only slightly. Breast cancer in two or more first-degree relatives increases a woman's risk by 5 to 6 times.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Breast Cancer Gene</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">Two separate genes for breast cancer (<i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i>) have been identified in two separate small groups of women. Fewer than 1% of women have these genes. They are most common among Ashkenazi Jews. If a woman has one of these genes, her chances of developing breast cancer are very high, possibly as high as 50 to 85% by age 80. However, if such a woman develops breast cancer, her chances of dying of breast cancer are not necessarily greater than those of any other woman with breast cancer. Women likely to have one of these genes are those who have several close, usually first-degree relatives who have had breast cancer. For this reason, routine screening for these genes does not appear necessary, except in women who have such a family history. The risk of ovarian cancer is increased in families with both breast cancer genes. The risk of breast cancer in men is increased in families with the <i>BRCA2</i> gene. Women with one of these genes may need to undergo more frequent testing for breast cancer.

<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Fibrocystic Changes</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">Having only certain types of fibrocystic changes seems to increase risk. These changes include those that require a biopsy to rule out breast cancer or those that make the breasts appear dense on a mammogram. For women with such changes, the risk is increased only slightly unless abnormal tissue structure (atypical hyperplasia) is detected during a biopsy or the women have a family history of breast cancer.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Age at First Menstrual Period, at First Pregnancy, and at Menopause</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">The earlier menstruation begins, the greater the risk of developing breast cancer. The risk is 1.2 to 1.4 times higher for women who first menstruated before age 12 than for those who first menstruated after age 14. The later the first pregnancy occurs and the later menopause occurs, the higher the risk. Never having had a baby doubles the risk of developing breast cancer during a woman's lifetime. These factors probably increase risk because they involve longer exposure to estrogen, which stimulates the growth of certain cancers. (Pregnancy, although it results in high estrogen levels, may reduce the risk of breast cancer.)</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Prolonged Use of Oral Contraceptives or Estrogen Therapy</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">Taking oral contraceptives increases the risk of later developing breast cancer, but only very slightly. Also, the risk is increased mainly for women who started taking them at a young age (such as during their teens) and who have taken them for many years. After women stop taking contraceptives, the risk gradually decreases over the next 10 years to that for other women of the same age.</div><div class="MMlistPara">After menopause, taking hormone therapy that combines estrogen with a progestin for a few years or more increases the risk of breast cancer.</div></li>
<li> <div class="MMlistPara"> <b>Obesity After Menopause</b> </div><div class="MMlistPara">Risk is somewhat higher for women who are obese after menopause. However, there is no proof that a high-fat diet contributes to the development of breast cancer or that changing the diet can decrease risk. Some studies suggest that obese women who are still menstruating are less likely to develop breast cancer.</div></li>

<li> <div class="MMlistPara">Distant (metastatic): The cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Cancer tends to move into the lymphatic vessels in the breast. Most lymphatic vessels in the breast drain into lymph nodes in the armpit (axillary lymph nodes). One function of lymph nodes is to filter out and destroy abnormal or foreign cells, such as cancer cells. If cancer cells get past these lymph nodes, the cancer can spread anywhere in the body. Breast cancer can also spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body. Breast cancer tends to spread to bones and the brain but can spread to any area, including the lungs, liver, skin, and scalp. Breast cancer can appear in these areas years or even decades after it is first diagnosed and treated. If the cancer has spread to one area, it probably has spread to other areas, even if it cannot be detected right away.</div></li>

This type is fast growing and often fatal. Cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels in the skin of the breast, causing the breast to appear inflamed: swollen, red, and warm. Usually, inflammatory breast cancer spreads to the lymph nodes in the armpit. The lymph nodes can be felt as hard lumps. However, often no lump may be felt in the breast itself because this cancer is dispersed throughout the breast. Inflammatory breast cancer accounts for about 1% of breast cancers.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-518"></a> <div class="MMpara"> <b>Paget's disease of the nipple</b> (see Skin Cancers: Paget's Disease of the Nipple) is a ductal breast cancer. The first symptom is a crusty or scaly nipple sore or a discharge from the nipple. Slightly more than half of the women who have this cancer also have a lump in the breast that can be felt. Paget's disease may be in situ or invasive. Because this disease usually causes little discomfort, women may ignore it for a year or more before seeing a doctor. The prognosis depends on how invasive and how large the cancer is as well as whether it has spread to the lymph nodes.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-519"></a> <div class="MMpara">Rare types of invasive ductal breast cancers include medullary carcinoma, tubular carcinoma, and mucinous (colloid) carcinoma.

Most commonly, the first symptom is a lump, which usually feels distinctly different from the surrounding breast tissue. In more than 80% of breast cancer cases, women discover the lump themselves. Usually, scattered lumpy changes in the breast, especially the upper outer region, are not cancerous and indicate fibrocystic changes. A firm, distinctive thickening that appears in one breast but not the other may indicate cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-527"></a> <div class="MMpara">In the early stages, the lump may move freely beneath the skin when it is pushed with the fingers.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-527a"></a> <div class="MMpara">In more advanced stages, the lump usually adheres to the chest wall or the skin over it. In these cases, the lump cannot be moved at all or it cannot be moved separately from the skin over it. Women can detect whether they have a cancer that even slightly adheres to the chest wall or skin by lifting their arms over their head while standing in front of a mirror. If a breast contains cancer that adheres to the chest wall or skin, this maneuver may make the skin pucker or one breast appear different from the other.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-527b"></a> <div class="MMpara">In very advanced cancer, swollen bumps or festering sores may develop on the skin. Sometimes the skin over the lump is dimpled and leathery and looks like the skin of an orange (peau d'orange) except in color.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-528"></a> <div class="MMpara">The lump may be painful, but pain is an unreliable sign. Pain without a lump is rarely due to breast cancer.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-529"></a> <div class="MMpara">Lymph nodes, particularly those in the armpit on the affected side, may feel like hard small lumps. The lymph nodes may be stuck together or adhere to the skin or chest wall. They are usually painless but may be slightly tender.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-530"></a> <div class="MMpara">In inflammatory breast cancer, the breast is warm, red, and swollen, as if infected (but it is not). The skin of the breast may become dimpled and leathery, like the skin of an orange, or may have ridges. The nipple may turn inward (invert). A discharge from the nipple is common. Often, no lump can be felt in the breast.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-531"></a><a href="" name="Screening"></a> <div class="MMfHead">Screening</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-532"></a> <div class="MMpara">Because breast cancer rarely causes symptoms in its early stages and because early treatment is more likely to be successful, screening is important.

However, self-examination alone does not reduce the death rate from breast cancer, and it does not detect as many early cancers as routine screening with mammography. Women who do not detect any lumps should continue to see their doctor for breast examinations and to have mammograms as recommended. When tumors are detected by self-examination, the prognosis is usually better, and breast-conserving surgery can usually be done rather than mastectomy.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-534"></a> <div class="MMpara">A breast examination is a routine part of a physical examination. A doctor inspects the breasts for irregularities, dimpling, tightened skin, lumps, and a discharge. The doctor feels (palpates) each breast with a flat hand and checks for enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit—the area most breast cancers invade first—and also above the collarbone. Normal lymph nodes cannot be felt through the skin, so those that can be felt are considered enlarged. However, noncancerous conditions can also cause lymph nodes to enlarge. Lymph nodes that can be felt are checked to see if they adhere to the skin or chest wall and if they are matted together.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-534a"></a> <a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-535"></a> <div class="MMpara"> <span class="MMhHeadTitle">Mammography: </span> For this test, x-rays are used to check for abnormal areas in the breast. A technician positions the woman's breast on top of an x-ray plate. An adjustable plastic cover is lowered on top of the breast, firmly compressing the breast. Thus, the breast is flattened so that the maximum amount of tissue can be imaged and examined. X-rays are aimed downward through the breast, producing an image on the x-ray plate. Two x-rays are taken of each breast in this position. Then plates may be placed vertically on either side of the breast, and x-rays are aimed from the side.

Mammography is designed to be sensitive enough to detect the possibility of cancer at an early stage, sometimes years before it can be felt. Because mammography is so sensitive, it may indicate cancer when none is present—a false-positive result. About 90% of abnormalities detected during screening (that is, in women with no symptoms or lumps) are not cancer. Typically, when the result is positive, more specific follow-up procedures, usually a breast biopsy, are scheduled to confirm the result.

Thus, when the tumor is large in relation to the breast, this type of surgery is less likely to be useful. In such cases, removing the tumor plus some surrounding normal tissue means removing most of the breast. Breast-conserving surgery is usually more appropriate when tumors are small. In about 15% of women who have breast-conserving surgery, the amount of tissue removed is so small that little difference can be seen between the treated and untreated breasts.

If cancer cells are detected in the lymph nodes, the cancer is more likely to have spread to other parts of the body. In such cases, additional treatment is needed. Removal of lymph nodes often causes problems because it affects the drainage of fluids in tissues. As a result, fluids may accumulate, causing persistent swelling (lymphedema) of the arm or hand. Arm and shoulder movement may be limited. Lymphedema may be treated by specially trained therapists. Women are taught how to massage the area, which may help the accumulated fluid drain, and how to apply a bandage, which helps keep fluid from reaccumulating. The affected arm should be used as normally as possible, except that the unaffected arm should be used for more heavy lifting. Women should exercise the arm daily as instructed and bandage the affected arm overnight indefinitely. Other problems include temporary or persistent numbness, a persistent burning sensation, and infection.</div><a href="" name="MMHE_22_251_05"></a> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MMIllustrativeFull" style="width: 522px;"><tbody>

Tamoxifen, which is related to estrogen, has some of the benefits and risks of estrogen therapy taken after menopause (see Menopause: Hormone Therapy). For example, it may decrease the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It increases the risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs. It also substantially increases the risk of developing endometrial cancer. Thus, if women taking tamoxifen have spotting or bleeding from the vagina, they should see their doctor.

It often involves simple mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery plus removal of the lymph nodes. Breast-conserving surgery is usually followed by radiation therapy. Less commonly, only the nipple with some surrounding normal tissue is removed.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-587"></a> <div class="MMpara">For phyllodes tumors that are cancerous, treatment usually consists of wide excision. The tumor and a large amount of surrounding normal tissue are removed. If the tumor is large in relation to the breast, a simple mastectomy may be done. After surgical removal, about 20 to 35% of cancers recur near the same site.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-588"></a> <div class="MMgHead">Follow-up Care</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-589"></a> <div class="MMpara">After treatment is completed, follow-up physical examinations, including examination of the breasts, chest, neck, and armpits, are done every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 5 years from the date the cancer was diagnosed. Regular mammograms and breast self-examinations are also important. Women should promptly report certain symptoms to their doctor:</div><ul class="MMbulletedSidebar"><li> <div class="MMlistPara">Any changes in their breasts</div></li>

Staying comfortable may eventually become more important than trying to prolong life. Cancer pain can be adequately controlled with appropriate drugs (see Death and Dying: Pain). So if women are having pain, they should ask their doctor for treatment to relieve it. Treatments can also relieve other troublesome symptoms, such as constipation, difficulty breathing, and nausea. Psychologic and spiritual counseling may also help.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch251-ch251f-593"></a> <div class="MMpara">Women with metastatic breast cancer should prepare advance directives indicating the type of care they desire in case they are no longer able to make such decisions (see Legal and Ethical Issues: Advance Directives).

These physical changes are regulated by changes in the levels of hormones that are produced by the pituitary gland—luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. At birth, levels of these hormones are high, but they decrease within a few months and remain low until puberty. Early in puberty, levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone increase, stimulating the production of sex hormones. The increased levels of sex hormones (primarily estrogen) result in physical changes, including maturation of the breasts, ovaries, uterus, and vagina. Normally, these changes occur sequentially during puberty, resulting in sexual maturity (see Adolescents:Physical and Sexual Development).</i></b></span><br />

It occurs in approximately monthly cycles throughout a woman's reproductive life, except during pregnancy. Menstruation starts during puberty (at menarche) and stops permanently at menopause (see Menopause: Introduction).</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch241-ch241e-36"></a><div class="MMpara" style="color: black; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 11px/1.25em arial, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">By definition, the menstrual cycle begins with the first day of bleeding, which is counted as day 1. The cycle ends just before the next menstrual period. Menstrual cycles normally range from about 25 to 36 days. Only 10 to 15% of women have cycles that are exactly 28 days. Usually, the cycles vary the most and the intervals between periods are longest in the years immediately after menarche and before menopause.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch241-ch241e-36a"></a><div class="MMpara" style="color: black; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 11px/1.25em arial, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Menstrual bleeding lasts 3 to 7 days, averaging 5 days. Blood loss during a cycle usually ranges from ½ to 2½ ounces. A sanitary pad or tampon, depending on the type, can hold up to an ounce of blood.

This hormone then stimulates the growth of 3 to 30 follicles. Each follicle contains an egg. Later in the phase, as the level of this hormone decreases, only one of these follicles (called the dominant follicle) continues to grow. It soon begins to produce estrogen, and the other stimulated follicles begin to break down.</div><a href="" name="sec22-ch241-ch241e-40a"></a><div class="MMpara" style="color: black; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 11px/1.25em arial, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">On average, the follicular phase lasts about 13 or 14 days. Of the three phases, this phase varies the most in length. It tends to become shorter near menopause. This phase ends when the level of luteinizing hormone increases dramatically (surges). The surge results in release of the egg (ovulation).</div><a href="" name="N5CDBD"></a><a href="" name="sec22-ch241-ch241e-41"></a><div class="MMpara" style="color: black; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 11px/1.25em arial, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="MMhHeadTitle" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Ovulatory Phase: </span>This phase begins when the level of luteinizing hormone surges.

This measurement can be used to determine when women are fertile. The egg can be fertilized for only up to about 12 hours after its release.

This pain is known as mittelschmerz (literally, middle pain). The pain may last for a few minutes to a few hours. The pain is felt on the same side as the ovary that released the egg, but the precise cause of the pain is unknown. The pain may precede or follow the rupture of the follicle and may not occur in all cycles. Egg release does not alternate between the two ovaries and appears to be random. If one ovary is removed, the remaining ovary releases an egg every month.</div><a href="" name="N5CDDF"></a><a href="" name="sec22-ch241-ch241e-44"></a><div class="MMpara" style="color: black; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 11px/1.25em arial, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="MMhHeadTitle" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Luteal Phase: </span>This phase begins after ovulation.

Menstrual cycles stop, and the ovaries stop producing estrogen. After menopause, the tissues of the labia minora, clitoris, vagina, and urethra thin (atrophy). This thinning can result in chronic irritation, dryness, and a discharge from the vagina. Vaginal infections are more likely to develop. Also after menopause, the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries become smaller.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>With aging, there is a decrease in the amount of muscle and connective tissue, including that in muscles, ligaments, and other tissues that support the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. As a result, the affected organs may sag or drop down (prolapse), sometimes causing a feeling of pelvic pressure or fullness, difficulty urinating, loss of control of urination or bowel movements (incontinence), or pain during sexual intercourse. Women who have had many children are more likely to have such problems.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Did You Know...</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Some women enjoy sexual intercourse more after menopause.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Because there is less estrogen to stimulate milk ducts, the breasts decrease in size and may sag. The connective tissue that supports the breasts also decreases, contributing to sagging. Fibrous tissue in the breasts is replaced with fat, making the breasts less firm.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Despite these changes, many women enjoy sexual activity more after menopause, possibly because they are no longer able to become pregnant. In addition, after menopause, the ovaries and adrenal glands continue to produce male sex hormones. Male sex hormones help maintain the sex drive, slow the loss of muscle tissue, and contribute to an overall sense of well-being.</b></span></div>Abdulwahab AlAtiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01978410063598199985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308713684423423250.post-36093192231629401062011-03-08T19:53:00.000-08:002011-03-08T19:53:06.455-08:00Internal Female Genital Organs<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 12px;"><b><i><img alt="Internal Female Genital Organs" height="178" src="http://www.merckmanuals.com/media/home/figures/MMHE_22_241_02_eps.gif" style="padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 6px;" width="474" /></i></b></span><br />
