Myth 1: Mammary gland hyperplasia can lead to breast cancer Ms. Wang is 29 years old and was examined for bilateral mammary gland hyperplasia the year before last, and her condition improved after taking medicine for half a year, but in the last two months Ms. Wang felt that her breasts had hard lumps again, especially before her period, and she felt painful when she touched them. Ms. Wang was worried that the recurring attacks of breast enlargement would become more and more serious and eventually lead to breast cancer. In fact, mastocytosis occurs mainly due to endocrine hormone imbalance. The endocrine changes or disorders in menstruation, development, pregnancy, degeneration, menopause and menopause can cause structural and functional disorders of the breast, and mastopexy is a common manifestation of such structural and functional changes. Therefore, mastocytosis is not a disease and usually does not require medication or treatment. Breast lumps in mastocytosis are usually soft, bilateral and of different sizes, and they grow slowly. In breast cancer, breast lumps are usually hard, some are as hard as stone, and most lumps are unilateral and can increase rapidly within a short period of time. Breast lumps tend to be more painful and are often associated with menstrual cycles and emotional changes. Breast cancer, on the other hand, is often an isolated and relatively fixed painless lump. The pain caused by breast cancer is only caused when it affects the outer envelope or involves the skin at a later stage. Myth 2: Mammography will lead to breast cancer. Ms. Zhang, who is in her 50s, found a lump in her right breast a few months ago by chance, which felt like a peanut rice. In fact, compared to the benefits of early diagnosis of breast cancer, the radiation damage from X-rays is insignificant. Mammography can detect early breast cancer of about 0.5cm with an accuracy rate of 90%, which is especially suitable for older women. It can not only assist in the diagnosis of benign and malignant, but also help doctors to detect breast cancer early that cannot be felt by clinical examination. For non-risk groups, experts recommend that women between the ages of 40 and 49 should undergo mammography once a year; for those with high risk of breast cancer (long-term exposure to radiation, family history of breast cancer, etc.), mammography should be started before the age of 40, or combined with other more sophisticated detection methods, such as MRI. Myth 3: Having breast cancer is equal to death sentence The answer is definitely no. Having breast cancer is not equal to death sentence. Breast cancer is a superficial tumor that can be easily detected at an early stage, and it is possible to cure breast cancer at an early stage. The advancement of breast cancer screening technology and the introduction of relevant norms can effectively screen for early breast cancer. Treatment options for breast cancer are now increasingly optimized, and all of these advances have contributed to the cure and disease control of breast cancer. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute say that breast cancer patients have high survival rates, including a 5-year survival rate of 89.2 percent after diagnosis of breast cancer. In fact, most breast cancer survivors die from other causes, not from breast cancer. Therefore, even if you have breast cancer, there is no need to panic.
