Breast Cancer Stages

Breast Cancer Stages
A breast cancer patient,who has diagnosed when she was 29 said that she was a stage 2 of breast cancer because of the size of one of the tumors. She had no lymph node involvement. She are Estrogen Receptor + (ER+), She had Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive tumors.Her2+ which means that my breast cancer cell was a little more aggressive. The cell cancer become aggressive when it spread fast day by day in our body. What is Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) actually?Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is breast cancer that is confined to the ducts.In that age,she was strongly encauraged to do chemo,and she think for us early stage breast cancer folks, that is always the case.

While you are attending a session of pathology session,you will know either you are diagnosed by breast cancer or not.If no breast cancer cells were present, assuming a correct diagnosis, then there is no cancer (unless of course you had a biopsy prior to lumpectomy which showed cancer, in which case the biopsy may have removed all of the cancer).
- Estrogen receptor (ER) - and progesterone receptor (PR) - tumors or breast cancer cell are more aggressive generally, particularly in younger women, and if the Her-2 protein is negative (what we call a triple negative), then the tumors are even more aggressive in behavior. Not that Her-2 + tumors are begin, but at least there is a specific agent (trastuzumab or Herceptin) for those.
- Definitely,all women would not have to take chemotherapy; however there would be no other treatment options as hormonal therapy is not a choice. Chemotherapy would be the only option to lower risk for recurrence
