1 Breast Cancer Cancer cells are abnormal cells. Cancer cells grow and divide more quickly than healthy cells. Some cancer cells may form growths called tumors. All tumors increase in size, but some tumors grow quickly, others slowly. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. This is called metastasis. Breast cancer is when cancer starts in the breast. Breast cancer can be found by mammogram, by a woman feeling a lump or by a doctor s exam. To find breast cancer, it is important to: Do monthly self breast exams. Have a yearly exam by your doctor if you are over 40. These are done less often for younger women. Have a mammogram each year after age 40. Breast Tissue A woman s breasts may feel more firm and lumpy before menopause. A woman has less estrogen after menopause, so the breasts feel much softer and less lumpy. The firm, lumpy tissue can hide a small lump making it hard to feel. By checking your breasts each month, you become familiar with your breast tissue and notice changes. Small lumps can also be found by a mammogram or by a doctor during your exam. Some lumps are so small that only a mammogram can find them. 1
2 سرطان الثدي الخاليا السرطانية هي خاليا غير طبيعية كما أن الخاليا السرطانية تنمو وتنقسم أسرع من الخاليا الصحية. وقد ت شكل بعض الخاليا السرطانية نمو ا يسمى الورم. جميع األورام يزداد حجمها لكن بعض األورام تزداد بشكل سريع والبعض اآلخر يزداد بشكل بطيء. يمكن أن تنتشر الخاليا السرطانية إلى أجزاء أخرى من الجسم عبر الدم والنظم الليمفاوية. وهذا يطلق عليه النقيلة. سرطان الثدي هو ذلك الذي يبدأ من الثدي. ويمكن اكتشاف سرطان الثدي من خالل أشعة الثدي أو شعور المرأة بورم أو من خالل فحص الطبيب. الكتشاف سرطان الثدي من المهم: إجراء فحوصات ذاتية للثدي شهري ا. إجراء فحص سنوي من قبل طبيبك إذا كان عمرك يزيد عن 40 سنة. ويقل إجراء هذه الفحوصات بالنسبة للنساء األصغر سن ا. احرصي على إجراء أشعة للثدي كل سنة بعد سن األربعين. نسيج الثدي قد يكون ثدي المرأة أكثر تصلب ا وتكتال قبل انقطاع الطمث حيث يقل هرمون اإلستروجين بعد انقطاع الطمث لذا يكون الثدي أكثر ليونة وأقل تكتال بكثير. ويمكن أن ت خفي األنسجة الثابتة والصلبة ورم ا صغير ا يجعل من الصعب الشعور به. ومن خالل فحص ثدييك شهري ا تصبحين على معرفة بأنسجة الثدي وتالحظين التغيرات. يمكن اكتشاف األورام الصغيرة أيض ا من خالل أشعة الثدي أو من خالل طبيب أثناء الفحص. تكون بعض األورام متناهية الصغر بحيث ال يمكن اكتشافها إال من خالل أشعة الثدي.

3 Tests If a lump is found, a mammogram or ultrasound will be done. A biopsy is often done to check if the lump is cancer and if so, what type. A biopsy is a procedure to remove tiny pieces of tissue. The samples are then checked by a doctor. If the biopsy finds cancer, more tests may be done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. Types of Treatment Based on your biopsy results and the type of cancer, you and your doctor will decide the best treatment for your breast cancer. Here are the treatments that may be done: Surgery Surgery is done to remove as much of the cancer as possible. Either the whole breast is removed, called mastectomy, or a part of the breast is removed, called lumpectomy. With either surgery, lymph nodes under the arm are checked for cancer. You and your doctor may also talk about reconstruction surgery. This surgery is done to create the look of a normal breast. You may still need to have more treatment. Having a mastectomy or lumpectomy does not guarantee that the breast cancer is gone from the entire body. Small cancer cells that are too small to detect may remain in the body. Radiation Therapy When a lumpectomy is done, it is often followed by radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is done to treat the entire breast. Radiation therapy often begins 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Hormone Therapy and Chemotherapy Treatment may be needed to target cancer cells that may be remaining in the body. It may be done before surgery to shrink a tumor or after surgery to kill cancer cells that may have spread or that remain in the body. 2
4 االختبارات في حالة اكتشاف ورم سيتم استخدام أشعة الثدي أو الموجات فوق الصوتية. وغالب ا ما يتم أخذ عينة نسيجية للتحقق مما إذا كان هذا الورم سرطان ا أم ال وتحديد نوعه إذا كان كذلك. وأخذ العينة النسيجية هو إجراء الستئصال أجزاء صغيرة من األنسجة. يتم بعد ذلك فحص العينات من قبل طبيب. وإذا أظهرت العينة النسيجية وجود سرطان فقد يتم إجراء مزيد من االختبارات لمعرفة ما إذا كان السرطان قد انتشر إلى أجزاء أخرى من جسمك. أنواع العالج وفق ا لنتائج العينة النسيجية ونوع السرطان سوف تقررين أنت وطبيبك أفضل عالج لسرطان الثدي الذي تعانين منه. فيما يلي العالجات التي يمكن القيام بها: الجراحة يتم إجراء الجراحة إلزالة أكبر قدر مستطاع من السرطان. تتم إزالة الثدي بالكامل فيما يطلق عليه استئصال الثدي أو تتم إزالة جزء منه فيما يطلق عليه استئصال الكتلة )الورمية(. ومع كال النوعين من الجراحة يتم التحقق من العقد الليمفاوية أسفل الذراع لمعرفة ما إذا كان السرطان قد انتشر إليها أم ال. قد تتحدثين أنت وطبيبك أيض ا حول إجراء جراحة استبنائية. ويتم إجراء هذه الجراحة إلعطاء مظهر الثدي الطبيعي. وقد تكونين ال زلت بحاجة إلى مزيد من العالج. ال يضمن استئصال الثدي أو استئصال الكتلة الورمية أن سرطان الثدي قد اختفى من الجسم بالكامل فقد تبقى خاليا سرطانية في الجسم تكون متناهية الصغر بحيث ال يمكن اكتشافها. العالج اإلشعاعي عند استئصال الكتلة الورمية فغالب ا ما يتبعها عالج إشعاعي. ويتم إجراء العالج اإلشعاعي لمعالجة الثدي بالكامل. غالب ا ما يبدأ العالج اإلشعاعي من 4 إلى 6 أسابيع بعد الجراحة. العالج الهرموني والعالج الكيماوي قد يكون العالج مطلوب ا الستهداف الخاليا السرطانية التي ربما تكون متبقية في الجسم. وربما يتم القيام به قبل الجراحة لتقليص الورم أو بعد الجراحة لقتل الخاليا السرطانية التي ربما تكون قد انتشرت أو تكون متبقية في الجسم.
