Question 1

female breast cancer 5yrs ago check was clear for past 5 yrs. last year check had pain in area had biopsy was okcan  3dmarker causing pain be removed?

Accepted Answer

Not usually needed: I'd look for another reason for pain besides the radiographic marker that was placed a year ago.  Those are inert.

Question 2

does male breast cancer have different symptoms from female breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: They have in common the same symptoms -none --that is what makes this cancer difficult to initially detect, but share the same signs -  mass, inverted nipple, breast skin dimpling or redness, bloody or clear nipple discharge, nipple ulceration.  Men have the same prognosis as women stage for stage but often present later and I do not know why(i am a man) procrastination -too busy-immortal syndrome.

Question 3

female breast cancer 5yrs ago  check was clear for past 5 yrs.  last year check  had pain in area  had biopsy and ok but still have stent, why?

Accepted Answer

Stent?: What do you mean by stent? Do you mean a stent in the heart or a stent in the breast? If you mean a stent in the heart then it means that a blood vessel feeding the heart muscle was narrowed and to stop further narrowing a stent was placed. I am not if this is what you are asking, though

Question 4

age 40, female, breast cancer.mri report b4 surgery states: please correlate clinically for any abnormality with right side port. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

It means: Need additional evaluation , decision by your doctor , as  result you already had biopsy . Now tell us the good new about  your biopsy report . All diagnostic tests are great but ultimate final diagnosis is by biopsy only , which you had, good luck.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is rare, but a dominant mass in a breast at any age needs to be seen by a physician.

Question 6

what are the chances of a 23yo female gettin breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Small: It is uncommon to get breast cancer in your 20's and if you do it is almost always because of one of the genetic mutations such as BRCA.

Question 7

please tell me can a 19 year old female have breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not likely, but: Possible.  There is a tumor called cystosarcoma that can happen in younger women.  Get her to a doctor.

Question 8

whats the possibility of a 23 yo female having breast cancer? im asking because i have a lump that is behind or attached to my nipple. its sore. ive had inverted nipples my whole life and i noticed one nipple was sticking out and painful?

Accepted Answer

Most likely  benign: Breast Cancer is extremely rare under the age of 25 years. But it is to be kept in mind if a lump is growing.
What you have felt may be a benign Fibroadenoma.
I would recommend that you seek consultation with a physician who can conduct a clinical examination of your breasts and guide you how to manage this problem.
Most fibroadenomas can be monitored  by your doctor with follow up once 6 monthly.

Question 9

i am a 43 year old female. i had breast cancer 14 years ago.i have had a knot in the middle of my chest for years. now it has gotten red, hard and painful. why could it be?

Accepted Answer

Painful knot: This scenario needs medical attention.  The lesion could be as harmless as an infected hair follicle but could also be your breast cancer returning.  It needs immediate biopsy secondary to your history.

Question 10

i'm 50 year old female 9 year breast cancer survivor. i'm cancer free.my dr wants me on a good vitimen i bought alive it's b12 is 100 mcg.

Accepted Answer

No effect: Without a family history of breast cancer the chance is high that you are cured of your cancer. This has not been due to the influence of any vitamin.  Cause is environmental with a high possibility  due to  MMTV with or without EBV.   Incidence of breast cancer recurring is 1% per year for 15 yrs   Yearly exam still important.  Any multi vitamin will do but have no effect on your disease.
