Breast cancer treatment: A very bad news has come out about TV actress Hina Khan. The actress has informed her fans through a post on social media that she is in the third stage of breast cancer (Hina Khan) and its treatment has started. She has written that she is fully prepared to fight this disease and will do everything that will make her stronger.
Let us tell you that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and about 28 percent of women suffering from cancer are victims of breast cancer. Every year millions of women across the world die of breast cancer and if its symptoms are identified at the right time, then it is possible to prevent it.
What is breast cancer and why does it happen?
Breast cancer actually starts developing from the breast tissue. When the cells of the breast suddenly start growing and due to this a tumor starts forming in the breast. If it is identified in the first stage, its treatment is easy.
The bad thing is that breast tumors spread to other parts of the body as well. Women above the age of 45 and 50 are more prone to breast cancer. Apart from this, history of breast cancer in the family, menopause, giving birth to a child at an older age, menopause, obesity and even excessive drinking are also included in the major causes of breast cancer.
Is the entire breast removed in breast cancer?
Until some time ago, when the process of cancer treatment was not very modern, it was like this. At that time, the surgeon had no other option than removing the entire breast of the woman during treatment. But due to the advent of new and advanced technology, this is not done now. In the new technology, oncoplastic technology is very reliable. There are two types of surgery in this.
The first is partial breast surgery. Under this, twenty percent of the breast or whatever part is damaged is cut out and removed. With this, the whole breast is made by joining the surrounding flesh. This does not change the figure of the women.
If the cancer has spread too much and the entire breast needs to be cut out, then the facility of implanting is available. Along with this, after removing the entire breast, the surgeon can create a breast by removing fat from around the navel and the waist. Along with this, the breast is brought back to its old shape so that it is not visible that there has been any major change in the breast.
