Breast Cancer Overview

Global Incidence

Breast cancer has a high incidence in Western countries such as the United States, France, and Germany. In Asian countries including China, Japan, and Singapore, the incidence has increased significantly in recent years, showing trends of younger onset and concentration in urban areas.

Main Hazards

1. Destruction of Breast Tissue

Tumors growing in breast tissue can disrupt the breast structure, causing nipple retraction, skin deformation, local hard lumps, and in severe cases, requiring surgical removal.

2. Distant Metastasis of Cancer Cells

If not treated in time, breast cancer often metastasizes to the lungs, liver, bones, and other organs. Once metastasis occurs, treatment complexity and risk increase sharply, and prognosis worsens.

3. Physiological and Psychological Impact

Surgical treatment, hair loss, and body changes often cause significant psychological pressure. Many women experience crises of self-identity and anxiety, requiring psychological intervention.

4. Social and Family Burden

The long treatment cycle and high costs of breast cancer impose dual pressures on family finances and social medical resources, affecting the quality of life and social functioning of family members.

Emerging Treatments

Immune Reconstruction Cell Therapy

Immune reconstruction cell therapy activates specific immune cells in the body to target and kill breast cancer cells, enhancing the patient’s anti-cancer immune response. This therapy has mild side effects and can be used for postoperative recurrence prevention and in combination with other therapies to improve long-term survival and quality of life.

In actual treatment, breast cancer patients often face immune dysfunction, increased infection risk, and slow recovery due to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. To help patients better endure the treatment process and improve tolerance and quality of survival, it is necessary to scientifically develop staged immune reconstruction plans for different treatment cycles.

● Short-term Plan: Quickly enhance immunity through immune cell reinfusion, improving the effectiveness of anti-tumor treatments.

● Mid-term Plan: Reduce side effects of conventional treatments, promote physical recovery, and ensure completion of standard regimens.

● Long-term Plan: Comprehensively enhance immunity through immune cell reconstruction, intestinal immunity, elemental immunity, and immune nutrition, thereby improving quality of life and extending survival.

Mainstream Treatments

1. Radiofrequency Ablation

Uses high-frequency currents to generate heat, causing tumor tissue coagulation and necrosis.

2. Cryoablation

Applies freezing agents such as liquid nitrogen or argon, destroying tumor cells through rapid freeze-thaw cycles.

3. Microwave Ablation

Uses microwave energy to heat tissue, causing coagulative necrosis of the tumor. It features faster heating and a relatively larger range.

4. Surgical Treatment

Early-stage breast cancer is usually treated with breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. Treatment choice depends on tumor location and size, and breast reconstruction may be combined to preserve appearance.

5. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is applicable for multiple stages of breast cancer, including preoperative tumor reduction, postoperative consolidation, and control of metastasis. Drug regimens vary and must be personalized according to pathology.

6. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy eliminates residual cancer cells after surgery or controls local recurrence. Modern precise radiotherapy improves accuracy while reducing damage to normal tissues.

7. Endocrine and Targeted Therapy

Patients with estrogen or progesterone receptor positivity are suitable for endocrine therapy to delay disease progression. HER2-positive patients can benefit from targeted drugs, such as trastuzumab, improving treatment outcomes.

Conclusion

Breast cancer is a widespread female tumor with high recurrence and metastasis rates, requiring comprehensive treatment and early control. Experts from United Life International Medical Center emphasize that new strategies such as cell therapy deserve greater attention, as they will improve treatment levels and survival expectations.
