Invasive breast cancer is a type of malignant tumor of the breast, which is a more serious type of cancer.
Invasive breast cancer is a malignant tumor in which the cancer cells have invaded the adjacent tissues through the basement membrane of the ducts or lobular alveoli and have the ability to metastasize to other places. Its severity is judged according to the pathology and staging.
Patients with invasive breast cancer detected in the early and middle stages have no distant metastasis and can be treated with surgery to remove the lesion and adjuvant treatment such as radiotherapy. After timely and standardized treatment, the ten- or five-year survival rate can reach more than 80%, and some patients can be cured.
Patients with advanced stage of invasive breast cancer, whose cancer cells have metastasized and spread to other organs and lost the chance of surgery, can be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy or targeted therapy to inhibit the spread and metastasis of the tumor and prolong the life of the patients.
It is suggested that patients should go to regular hospitals in time, do not lose confidence, and strictly follow the doctor’s instructions to receive treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
