Gynecological Cancer Treatments

Caused by breast milk-producing lobules. Tumors are numerous, and patients may experience lesions bilaterally, or in both breasts, at the same time.

A type of blood vessel cancer that can develop in any area of the body, including the breasts.

The lining of the milk ducts of the breast is affected by this non-invasive form of cancer. The term "in situ" indicates that the cancer is still contained inside its local area. If discovered at an early stage, ductal carcinoma in situ can be cured completely; nevertheless, if untreated or undiscovered, it has the potential to spread to the breast tissue around it.

Breast cancer with inflammation is a rare type. It is known to develop quickly, resulting in swelling, redness, and pain in the breast that is being affected. It develops as a result of cancer cells spreading to the surrounding lymph nodes and tissues and obstructing the lymphatic channels.

The term "invasive lobular carcinoma" refers to a type of cancer that starts in the milk-producing glands (lobules) of the breast and rapidly spreads to nearby lymph nodes and other parts of the body. It is also the second most frequent form of cancer after invasive ductal carcinoma.

Although breast cancer is typically assumed to effect women alone, it can affect men as well. It mostly affects older men. Early detection of male breast cancer in men increases the likelihood of a successful treatment and cure.

The circular area of skin (areola) around the nipple is also affected by Paget's disease, which begins on the nipple. Women over 50 are most likely to develop this type of cancer.

This type of breast cancer spreads to neighbouring lymph nodes, other body organs (most frequently the bones, lungs, liver, or brain), beyond the breast, where it first appears. Some benign breast disorders are more likely to develop into cancer in the future. Non- cancerous breast conditions like benign lumps or most changes in the breast are not a type of Breast cancer.

Benign epithelial ovarian tumors don't spread and typically don't cause major illness. Serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystadenomas, and Brenner tumors are a few examples of benign epithelial tumors.

Some ovarian epithelial tumors do not clearly appear to be malignant when examined in a laboratory. Atypical proliferative serous carcinoma and atypical proliferative mucinous carcinoma are the two most prevalent forms. Low malignant potential (LMP) tumors were the prior name for these tumors. Because they do not spread into the ovary's supporting tissue, often known as the ovarian stroma, these are distinct from conventional ovarian tumors. If they spread outside of the ovary, such as into the belly, they may grow on the lining of the abdomen rather than inside of it. Compared to normal ovarian cancer, borderline tumors typically affect younger women. These tumors also grow slowly and are less of a threat to life.

Carcinomas are malignant epithelial tumors. Epithelial ovarian carcinomas make up for 85% to 90% of ovarian malignancies. These tumor cells exhibit several characteristics that can be utilized to categorize epithelial ovarian carcinomas into several groups. The serous form, which can comprise both high- and low-grade tumors, is by far the most prevalent. The other primary types include clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous.

• Serous carcinomas (52%)
• Clear cell carcinoma (6%)
• Mucinous carcinoma (6%)
• Endometrioid carcinoma (10%)

Each ovarian cancer is graded, based on how close the tumor cells look like normal tissue: Grade 1 epithelial ovarian carcinomas look more like normal tissue and tend to have a better prognosis (outlook).
Grade 3 epithelial ovarian carcinomas look less like normal tissue and usually have a worse outlook.
Other traits such as how fast the cancer cells grow and how well they respond to chemotherapy, to come up with the tumor's type:
Type I tumors tend to grow slowly and cause fewer symptoms. These tumors also seem not to respond well to chemotherapy. Low grade (grade 1) serous carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma are examples of type I tumors.
Type II tumors grow fast and tend to spread sooner. These tumors tend to respond better to chemotherapy. High grade (grade 3) serous carcinoma is an example of a type II tumor.
