Breast Cancer - Paget disease

One of the rare types of breast cancer is Paget's disease of the nipple, the nipple may occur as a rash on. The rash or other changes in the nipple, a cancer in the ducts of the breast, the nipple is several times below the nipple, then extends to the surface.
Sometimes this is a sign of breast cancer indicates a small ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the tumor at a very early breast cancerthe not yet left the channel. Other times, Paget's disease of the nipple may indicate an invasive cancer somewhere else in the chest. In some cases, the woman, the symptoms of Paget's disease of the nipple More than a mammogram or an abnormal lump in her breast.
First I want to clarify further Paget's disease of the nipple is not the same bone Paget's disease, which is a serious illness. Sir James Paget, a BritishSurgeon and physiologist, discovered both conditions, which were initially treated by him, but they are independent diseases. Paget's disease of the nipple can also affect men, although it is rare.
Paget's disease of the nipple is often noticed when there are physical symptoms of the disease. Sign of Paget's disease usually occur on only one nipple surrounded persistent irritability, flaking, or redness of the nipple, itching or burning of the nipple and areolaand bleeding or leakage of nipple and areola.
Paget's disease can often be mistaken for breast eczema other skin diseases, for example. Breast Eczema is a very curable disease, the nipple may occur again, characterized by red, itchy spots or blisters, weeping for that, but do away with the right treatment. Paget's disease is not clear with routine treatment of eczema or infection and usually affects only one nipple.
Mammography is the nextconsider measures for breast cancer in the current. Sometimes the basis of abnormal breast mass will not be present on a mammogram. A mammogram nipple clean with abnormal findings combined needs further investigation.
A tissue biopsy nipple should be. usually consists of a "biopsy" of cancer amount of tissue removed for a small check. If the mammogram shows other areas of concern in the chest;Biopsies of these areas should be carried out.
If Paget channels is caught early while still confined to the nipple and underlying breast, the patient usually has an excellent prognosis. However, if breast cancer is associated with Crohn's nipple Paget invasive or if the cancer has spread below the chest area of the body (metastasis), survival rates may be on others.
The treatment of Paget's diseaseof the nipple includes surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy or drug therapy (eg tamoxifen). Like other types of breast cancer, tumor location is determining which type of surgery is performed - a lumpectomy or mastectomy. Radiation therapy usually follows a lumpectomy.
A recent development in the surgical treatment involves removing only the nipple and areola (sometimes followed by radiation therapy) in patients with Paget's disease has notother underlying breast cancer, breast cancer that women follow them. After treatment, an artificial nipple can be modeled with skin grafts and tattooing.
