BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

One of the most common medical conditions observed in women is the development of breast cancer. Due to the advancement in medical sciences, it has become possible to treat this type of cancer with ease and there are various treatment options available to choose from. However, before finalizing any option you must have a complete knowledge regarding all the available techniques being used these days, and most importantly, you must consult your doctor in order to know what treatment is apt for you. Two major objectives are kept in mind when treating this condition:
·         To get rid of cancer symptoms as far as possible
·         To prevent it from developing again
Certain factors will always be kept in mind by the doctor for recommending a specific treatment plan:
·         The type of cancer that has affected you
·         Tumor’s size and how far has it spread inside your body
·         Your personal preference, age and other health issues are also some of the deciding factors for what treatment should be adopted to treat your particular condition.
Cancer cells of the breast or nearby tissues such as lymph nodes are targeted by some available treatments. Surgery can be a possible treatment option in this case. Complete breast removal is one option which is also known as mastectomy. In Lumpectomy, only the tumor, including the tissues surrounding the breasts are removed. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy and targeted therapy can also be put to use depending upon the current status of the condition.
