Breast Cancer - Symptoms and Treatment Options

Thursday, August 22 2013

Many females do not realise that they are going through breast cancer. This is because there are no fixed signs of its existence. But sometimes, it does have some symptoms. For example, a lump or existence of a thick area or even something like a dimple can be recognised. Most prominent symptom is the pain in the breast. Problem is that the presence of these signs is not a sure sign of presence of breast cancer. So if you are feeling that you might be having it, then visiting a doctor could be the best solution. If the doctor also feels that there could be a problem then he might suggest for a physical examination.

As far as the treatment options are concerned, then the most popular cancer treatment in Texas is chemotherapy. It is used to remove the lump of cancer. Another option could be radiation therapy. Depending upon the stage till where the cancer has grown, there could be more than one treatment that the doctor can suggest. Sometimes, combination of two or more therapies can be given for complete cure. For example, after chemotherapy, radiation can be given to the leftover cells so as to remove the cancer completely.
