Male breast cancer

Male breast cancer is a rare cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men. Though breast cancer is most commonly thought of as a disease that affects #women, breast cancer does occur in men. Many people do not realize that men have breast tissue and that they can develop breast cancer. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer and can spread to other areas. #Male_breast_cancer is most common in older men, though it can occur at any age. Men diagnosed with male breast cancer at an early stage have a good chance for a cure. Treatment typically involves #surgery to remove the breast tissue. Other treatments, such as chemotherapy and #radiation #therapy, may be recommended based on your particular situation. #Breast #cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The #tumor is #malignant if the cells can grow into surrounding tissues or spread (#metastasize) to distant areas of the body.

Possible symptoms of male breast cancer include:

·       a lump in one breast, which is usually painless

·       nipple retraction, ulceration, and discharge

·       skin puckering or dimpling on the breast

·       redness or scaling of the skin on the breast or nipple

If cancer spreads, additional symptoms may include:

·       swelling in the lymph glands, in or near the underarm area

·       breast pain

·       bone pain

Early stage breast #cancer responds well to treatment. Diagnostic methods and treatments have improved in the last few years, and so the chances of living for at least 5 years after diagnosis are probably higher than the above figures for people currently receiving a #diagnosis.

New treatment paths for Breast Cancer

#Breast #cancer is a common illness around the world. It is the most common invasive of #cancers in #women and affects around one in eight and represents about a quarter of all invasive cancers.

Immunotherapies that take off the "brakes" on the adaptive anti-tumor response have worked well in #melanoma and #lung_cancer but less so in breast cancers. In general breast cancer #tumors harbor a decreased presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and have been considered poor candidates for triggering an immune response. The research team, however, activated innate #immunity in breast cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment by testing the use of a synthetic #RIG-I agonist in breast cancer cells and in a mouse model of breast cancer. RIG-I, or retinoic acid-inducible gene I, is a virus-sensing receptor that activates pro-inflammatory signaling pathways.

A research team in India well aware of the issues, costs and discomfort surrounding screening and assessment of breast tumors with conventional #mammography have developed a novel system for monitoring changes in such a tumor that uses a compact #micro_strip #antenna. Such devices are relatively easy to fabricate and have a wide range of more conventional applications in the world of #telecommunications as #satellite television receivers and such. The team describes details in the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology and explains how the devices comprise a radiating patch with a rectangular slot, three stubs, a feed-line and a partial ground plane. The devices operate at a frequency of between 2.4 and 4.76 gigahertz and measure the resonance of the tumour, as opposed to healthy breast, tissue, which have different dielectric properties.

Breast Cancer Chemotherapy

#Chemotherapy is a powerful treatment that involves taking medications to damage #cancerous cells. The goal is to prevent these cells from dividing and multiplying.

Chemotherapy for breast cancer uses drugs to target and destroy breast cancer cells. These #drugs are usually given directly into a vein through a needle or as a pill. Chemotherapy for #breast_cancer frequently is used in addition to other treatments, such as #surgery, #radiation or #hormone_therapy. Receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer may increase the chance of a cure, decrease the risk of the cancer returning, alleviate symptoms from the cancer or help people with #cancer live longer with a better quality of life. If the cancer has recurred or spread, chemotherapy may control the breast cancer to help you live longer. Or it can help ease symptoms the #cancer is causing.

Cancer survival rates are one way to show how effective various treatments, including chemotherapy, can be. A survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live for a certain amount of time after a cancer diagnosis. Survival rates can also help people gain an understanding of their outlook because they provide information about the likely outcomes of people with similar cancers.

Preventive medications reduce the risk of breast cancer in #women with a high risk of the #disease. They usually include estrogen-blocking medications, such as selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors. These medications carry a risk of side effects, so doctors reserve these medications for women who have a high risk of breast cancer.

Breast cancer: Hormone therapy

Why does breast cancer sometimes recur after treatment? A new study suggests that in part, the answer may lie in the effect of adjuvant hormone therapy on some cancer cells.

Researchers from different universities looked at the effect of adjuvant endocrine therapy — a type of hormone therapy — on these different breast cancer cells. Their findings suggest the drugs may actually kill some cells and switch others into this sleeper state. If we can unlock the secrets of these dormant cells, we may be able to find a way of preventing cancer coming back, either by holding the cells in permanent sleep mode or by waking them up and killing them.

Doctors usually recommend hormone therapies for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers, in which the cancer cells grow and spread by interacting with a hormone called estrogen. The American Cancer Society note that these make up the majority about two-thirds  of breast cancer cases. Typically, a course of hormone therapy follows surgery  for tumor removal, and while this strategy is successful in many cases, some people experience a relapse. This can lead to metastasis — a state in which cancer cells spread throughout the body, making it more difficult for doctors to spot and treat. This state can be temporary; meaning that there is a possibility these cancer cells will later "awaken," leading to the formation of new tumors. These sleeper cells seem to be an intermediate stage to the cells becoming resistant to the cancer drugs,

Breast Cancer Clinical Trials in Men

Some people with #cancer will have only one #treatment. But most people have a combination of treatments, such as surgery with #chemotherapy and/or #radiation #therapy. When you need treatment for cancer, you have a lot to learn and think about.

Graft Guidance is issued by US #FDA encouraging the inclusion of male patients in #clinical #trials of breast cancer drugs. #Breast_cancer is rare in males, with less than 1% of all cases occurring in men. Men are not typically included in #clinical_trials for breast cancer treatment, which has led to a related lack of data. Men's treatments are generally based upon studies in #women, said the FDA in a press statement. Some approved treatments are gender-neutral in their indication, but many therapies are only approved for women and further data may be necessary to support labeling indications for men, the agency pointed out. The goal of the guidance is to provide additional #FDA-approved treatment options for men.

Recently, the FDA extended the indication of the breast cancer drug #palbociclib to include male patients, based on "real world" data. Post marketing reports and electronic health records showed that the safety profile for men treated with palbociclib was consistent with the safety profile for women. The decision was also based on the acknowledgement that the majority of breast tumors in male patients express hormone receptors; such #tumors are typically treated with endocrine-based therapies, which, in #advanced_cancers, may include palbociclib.

Breast_Cancer_Congress_2020 #Conference

Breast cancer is caused by a genetic mutation in the DNA of breast cancer cells. How or why this damage occurs isn’t entirely understood. Some mutations may develop randomly over time, while others are inherited or may be the result of environmental exposures or lifestyle factors. Most breast cancers are diagnosed in women over age 50, but it’s not clear why some women get breast cancer (including women with no risk factors) and others do not (including those who do have risk factors). Breast cancer symptoms vary from one person to the next. Knowing what your breasts normally look and feel like may help you recognize possible signs and symptoms. By 2025, an estimated 2.1 million people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer every year. This is a 31-percent increase from 2012 that is due in part to the aging of the U.S. population and the greater use of cancer screening. The estimated number of annual cancer-related deaths is expected to increase even faster, by 37 percent, from 620,000 to 850,000 by 2025.

Breast Cancer Surgery

Most women with breast cancer have some type of surgery as part of their treatment. There are different types of #breast_surgery, and it may be done for different reasons, depending on the situation. 

For example, surgery may be done to:

·        Remove as much of the #cancer as possible (#breast-conserving surgery or #mastectomy)

·        Find out whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm (sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection)

·        Restore the breast’s shape after the cancer is removed (#breast_reconstruction)

·        Relieve symptoms of #advanced #cancer

There are two main types of surgery to remove breast cancer:

Breast-conservingsurgery also called a #lumpectomy, #quadrantectomy, partial #mastectomy, or segmental mastectomy) – A surgery in which only the part of the breast containing the cancer is removed. The goal is to remove the cancer as well as some surrounding normal tissue. How much of the breast is removed depends on the size and location of the tumor and other factors.

#Mastectomy – A surgery in which the entire breast is removed, including all of the breast tissue and sometimes other nearby tissues. There are several different types of #mastectomies. Some women may also get a double mastectomy, in which both breasts are removed. Cancer cells might have spread into the lymph nodes close to the breast. #Lymph nodes are found in many parts of the body. They filter out #bacteria and damaged cells from the lymphatic fluid, and contain cells that fight infection.
