Female breasts are made up of fibrous connective tissues, blood vessels, intricate milk producing system of lobules and ducts and fat. This anatomy together creates a lumpy structure. A breast lump is much different from these normal irregularities. Harmless breast lumps are generally solid and unmovable, but if the lump moves, is soft to touch and filled with fluid, then it can be dangerous.

The size of the breast cancer lump varies from patient to patient. Also, the breast cancer does not usually come with pain, but benign conditions do. If you feel any such moving lump in your breast or know anyone with such problem, then schedule an instant appointment with Female Surgeon UAE at Al Zahra Hospital for the best breast cancer treatment in Dubai.

There are variety of benign breast lumps and conditions a female can suffer from. They are:

Fibrocystic Changes – This is the most commonly occurring benign breast condition that affects at least half of all women. Symptoms include tender, fibrous rubbery tissue, and fluid-filled cyst. These changes are related to hormonal dysfunction and might increase as you approach middle age and then suddenly disappear after menopause. Your doctor might conduct biopsy to ensure that this is fibrocystic change and not cancer. You may be asked to take some hormones in the form of medication.

Nipple Discharge – You may experience nipple discharge whether you have a breast lump or not. When the color of the nipple discharge is from yellow to green, then it is due to benign fibrocystic condition. While the clear to milky discharge is due to hormonal malfunction. If the discharge is in blood color, then can be a symptom of cancer. A red discharge can also mean infection or benign tumor.

Cysts – Likewise fibrocystic changes, cysts are round oval sacs which can be 1-2 inches long, filled with fluid. They may come and go with the monthly menstrual cycle. Your doctor might advise you to undergo an ultrasound or a few tests to determine whether it is cyst or something else. In very rare cases, these cysts can take the form of cancer.

All breast lumps should be evaluated by medical professionals only. The team of experienced doctors at Female Surgery UAE of Al Zahra Hospital – one of the most renowned breast cancer treatment hospitals in Dubai – offers minimally invasive breast cancer treatment in Dubai if the breast lump has been detected as cancer.

Breast surgery can be divided into four general categories: breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction. Following any type of breast cancer surgery in Dubai-based AlZahra Hospital, women feel more confident, healthy and empowered.

Some of the top reasons why women are preferring breast surgery have been enlisted below:

• Reason #1 – Breast Cancer – Breast surgery is the most common treatment to treat breast cancer. One surgery is the breast sparing surgery in which an operation is done to remove cancer and small amount of cells that surround it. Another surgery is mastectomy in which the whole breast is removed. After the mastectomy, you may choose to have breast reconstruction. These surgeries together with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy kill the cancer cells and imbibe in the patient the confidence to live the life once again to its fullest.

• Reason #2 – Asymmetrical Breast – A little bit of asymmetry is normal and acceptable.But, if there is a drastic difference between the size of your two breasts, and if it bothers you – it is a problem. Breast implants are often used to correct breast asymmetry. The main aim of breast surgeons is to enhance the fullness with an implant, lift and shape the sagging breast tissue, remove the excess skin and reposition the nipple. In case of severe asymmetry, the doctor might also recommend pairing implants with reduction techniques.

• Reason #3 – Tuberous Breasts – Tuberous breast is a type of abnormality where in breasts do not develop fully. It results in asymmetry of breast size and shape that requires an implant surgery and a mastopexy. Majority of patients don’t have an idea that it is a congenital condition. The main aim of the doctors performing breast surgery on patients with tuberous breast is to improve the symmetry and the overall shape of the breast. This is a huge confidence booster for these patients.

• Reason #4 – Inverted Nipple – Inverted nipple is another reason why women undergo breast surgery. The surgeons while conducting such sort of breast surgery in Dubai-based Al Zahra Hospital makes sure to correct the inversion without transecting any ducts. However, if the inversion is severe, ducts will need to be transected to correct the condition.

BRCA Gene screening test is a blood test that uses DNA analysis to identify if there is any mutation in the two breast cancer susceptibility genes – BRCA 1 and BRCA 2. Women who have mutations in these genes are probably at increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, breast cancer and other type of cancer.

Female Surgeon UAE at Al Zahra Hospital has a team of highly skilled, board-certified oncologists and breast surgeons who conduct breast cancer screening in Dubai using the latest technologies. Our doctors combine their experience and technology to offer the best BRCA screening in Dubai.

What are BRCA 1 and BRCA 2?

BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 are the genes that produce tumor suppressor proteins. These proteins play a major role in repairing the damaged DNA. At the same time, they ensure that each cell of the genetic material is stable. When either of these genes is mutated or altered, they are unable to make enough of protein product or does not function properly thus failing to repair the damaged DNA. As a result, additional genetic alterations develop which further leads to cancer.

Inherited mutations in BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. A harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation can be inherited from a person’s parents.

How much risk of breast cancer is involved in gene mutation?

About 72% of women who inherit harmful BCA 1 mutation and 69% of women who inherit harmful BRCA 3 mutation will likely develop breast cancer at the age of 80. These women are also at the high risk of developing a new primary cancer in the opposite breast in later years.

Are genetic tests available to detect BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations?

While some tests look for specific harmful BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 mutation that has been identified in other family members. Other tests check for all of the harmful mutations in both genes. One thing, DNA is required for all of these tests. The sample is then sent to the laboratory. It usually takes about a month to receive the results.

What do the results mean?

• Positive Result – Positive result means the person has inherited the harmful mutation in BRCA 1 or BRCA 2. This means they are at an increased risk of developing certain cancers.
• Negative Result – A negative result is more difficult to understand than the positive one because the result is dependent on an individual’s family history of cancer and whether the mutation has been identified in the relative’s blood.
• Uncertain Result – Sometimes in the screening, a change is found in BRCA 2 or BRCA 2 that hasn’t been associated with cancer. This type of results is termed as “ambiguous” because it is uncertain whether the change is harmful or not.

Breast cancer is increasing at an alarming rate across the globe. Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. But at the same time, it is also important to learn what type of breast cancer you actually have. Breast cancer can begin in any area of the breast such as ducts, the lobules, or in some cases, the tissue in between. There are many types of breast cancer, however, the most common types are ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, and invasive lobular carcinoma.

At Al Zahara hospital in Dubai, the doctors provide suitable breast cancer treatment to make the patient fully recover and live her life peacefully. The breast cancer treatment hospitals in Dubai use the following terms to describe the extent of cancer: In situ – means the breast cancers that do not spread. Other is the Invasive or infiltrating cancers – which spreads into the surrounding breast tissue.

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ – This non-invasive breast cancer starts inside the milk-producing glands of the breast and does not spread beyond the milk duct into any normal surrounding breast tissue.

Invasive Breast Cancer – In this type of cancer, the cancer cells spread into surrounding breast tissue. The most common invasive breast cancer is called invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer – This type of invasive breast cancer is not so common. It accounts for only 1% to 5% of all breast cancers.

Paget disease of the nipple – Paget disease of the nipple begins in the breast ducts and spread to the skin of the nipple and then to the areola. Such type of problem is rare and accounts for only about 1-3% of all cases of breast cancer.

Phyllodes Tumor – Phyllodes tumor is a very rare type of breast cancer. Unlike carcinomas that develop in the ducts and lobules, they develop in the connective tissue of the breast. Most are benign, but there are others that are malignant (cancer).

Metastatic Breast Cancer – Also known as Stage 4, metastatic breast cancer is the one that has spread to other parts of the body namely liver, bones, brain and lungs. But this does not mean you’ll become hopeless. Even at this stage of breast cancer, many people continue to live a productive and healthy life for years to come.

Angiosarcoma – Sarcomas of the breast accounts for 1% of all types of breast cancers. They begin developing in cells that line blood vessels or lymph vessels.  It can also include the breast tissue or the skin of the breast.

The above mentioned types of breast cancer are treated diligently by the team of board certified doctors in the breast cancer treatment hospitals in Dubai. The breast cancer treatment in Dubai at Al Zahara hospital is carried out using minimally invasive technique and at an affordable price.
