A breast lump is a generalized concept and a very rough diagnosis. When many patients hear breast lumps, they associate it with breast cancer and think that it may be an incurable disease. In fact, the problem is not that simple and not that scary, so there is no need to panic when you hear lumps. Breast lumps are generally divided into two categories: benign and malignant, of which benign tumors account for the majority and breast cancer accounts for a relatively small percentage. If a breast lump is benign, it can be surgically removed. If it is a malignant tumor, comprehensive treatment is needed according to the specific situation: if the lump is small and early stage breast cancer, doctors will usually choose surgery and comprehensive treatment such as chemotherapy after surgery; if the lump is large and immediate surgery is not effective, neoadjuvant chemotherapy and evaluation are usually performed before considering surgery; if it is very advanced breast cancer, treatment is more tricky, and chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, etc. are usually chosen according to the specific situation, Endocrine therapy will be chosen according to the specific situation. With the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of medical level, even if breast lumps are finally diagnosed as breast cancer, they have a chance to be cured, not incurable in the traditional sense; there are many breast cancer patients treated by us who survive for more than 5, 10 or 10 years. Some patients are extremely pessimistic and disappointed once they are diagnosed with breast cancer and give up treatment completely, which is an extreme misconception. Therefore, several misconceptions must be corrected: 1) the misconception that breast lump is cancer; 2) the misconception that breast cancer is incurable and life is about to end; 3) the misconception that all breast cancer must be treated with immediate surgery and other treatment measures will delay the disease.
