3. Breast cancer is a disease caused by
malignant cells (cancer) that grows in the
breast tissue.
These cells usually appear in the breast ducts
or lobula. Cancer cells can spread between
tissues or organs that exist and to other body
parts.
5. Breast cancer is the second biggest cause of deathfor women today. In
Singapore, one of 16 women will be diagnosedwithbreast cancer in her lifetime. Chinese
womenhave a higherrisk comparedwithMalays or Indians approximately10%to
20%. The highest cases occurred in the age group55-59 years.
The risk of developingbreast cancer increases withage. The good newsnow is that more
womenare nowable to fight breast cancerbecause of earlydetection and improvingthe
qualityof treatment.

7. Factors triggering this cancer is not yet known. But
this can be tracedfroma family history of breast
cancer, early menstrual cycle, or the possibility of
other riskfactors. Because it is so difficult to be sure,
each of us has the risk of breast cancer, especially
whenwe are aged40 years or more. Although the
causes are still unknown, but complete healing is
possible withearly detection through regular breast
examinations.
8. Signs of Breast Cancer:
• Anatomy of Breast
- Painless lumps in the breast
- Itching and rash are continuously around the -
nipple
- Bleeding or discharge from the nipple that is not usually
- Breast skin to swell and thicken
- Breast skin wrinkle or become concave
- Hilt sinking inside
11. Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI - In some cases,
patients should undergo MRI PET to obtain a
clearer examination resultsin the areaof
suspected cancer. This method is veryuseful for
youngerwomen because of the age they have
breast tissue densitygreater and conventional
visual testssuch as mammograms or ultrasounds
become less sensitive and specific for the detection
of breast cancer.

and have been found at points in the lymph.
•channels in the armpit (axillary nodes limph)
•Tumor diameter larger than 2 cm but not
more than 5 cm. Has not spread to the points
lymph vessels in the armpit (axillary nodes
limph).
•No signs of tumors in the breast, but is found
at points in underarm lymph vessels.
14. • STADIUM IIB:

Breast Cancer.
Could have been or could also have
spread to the points on the lymph
vessels in the armpit and upper arm,
but did not spread to other parts of the
body organs.
17. • STADIUM IIIC:
As with stage IIIB, but has spread
to the points on the lymph vessels
in the group N3 (cancer has
spread more than 10 points below
the duct lymph collarbone).
18. • STADIUM 4:
The size of the tumor can be
whatever, but it has spread to
distant locations, namely:
Bones, lungs, liver or ribs.
19. Steps to Prevent Breast
Cancer
• 1.Avoid alcohol
