5 Breast ultrasound and MRI
The x-rays, the doctor may ask the rays additional ultrasound imaging. Where can an ultrasound to determine the presence of bags or pockets and vesicles filled with secretions, but do not contain cancer cells or cancer cells. While MRI is ordered, along with x-ray imaging for some women who have a higher risk of contracting the disease.
6 Testing for breast cancer self
It is recommended for women in all countries of the world need to subject themselves to research and breast self-examination at least once per month. But studies have shown that this type of testing plays a small role in detecting cancer. It is important to remember the size and shape of the breast and women to be aware of any changes that occur.

Since there are many types of breast cancers, you must select the appropriate treatment for the disease.
9 Hormone-sensitive breast cancer
Some cancers are fed hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Biopsy can reveal whether the tumor has estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone. And in three cases of breast cancer, two of which have sensitive to hormones. There are many drugs that keeps hormones and prevent it from promoting the growth of cancerous tumors. In the picture you see molecular form of the estrogen receptor.
10 Breast cancer HER2 receptor positive
About 20% of the incidence of breast cancer, increasing a protein receptor called HER2. This type of cancer is known as breast cancer protein HER2 receptor positive, and tends to be faster than the prevalent types of cancer. It is important to determine whether such a tumor or not, because there are treatments for this type of cancer.
11 Stages of breast cancer
Once you are diagnosed with breast cancer, the next step is to determine the size of the tumor and the extent of the cancer in the body. This process is called gradient. Doctors use stages from 0 to 4 to describe whether the infection is limited to the breast, or it has spread to nearby lymph nodes or has spread to other organs in the human body such as the lung.

15 Chemotherapy of breast cancer

Usually it is used after breast cancer surgery, to prevent the return of cancer again. It also may be used to reduce the chances of breast cancer in women are most susceptible to the disease.
17 Drugs for breast cancer treatment
Targeted therapies are new drugs to target specific properties of cancer cells. For example, women with breast cancer, HER2 positive-type with a large amount of the protein HER2. These drugs work to stop this protein to strengthen the growth of cancer cells. Usually, these drugs are used along with chemotherapy. The milder side effects than chemotherapy.
18 Life after diagnosis of the disease

24 Breast cancer research
Scientists continue to search for more effective treatments for breast cancer treatment. Research funding comes from several directions. It should be noted that the 2.5 million people suffering from breast cancer, and his family are involved in special events. This connects the individual battle against cancer with efforts to eliminate the disease.
