  1. All You Need to Know About Triple-Negative Breast Cancer ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Breast cancer, a word that can be overwhelming to hear or read, is a disease responsible for breaking many immunes globally. However, on-time diagnosis and appropriate treatment can beat cancer to give the patient another life. Knowledge and timely action are very important when dealing with such diseases. As the best multispeciality hospital in Ahmedabad, it is our responsibility to create awareness and help people make informed decisions. This blog focuses on imparting knowledge about triple- negative breast cancer. What is Triple-Negative Breast Cancer? Breast cancer is a condition affecting tissues and cells of the breast to cause a lump or mass in the breast. Every tumor developing in the breast is tested for progesterone, estrogen, and HER2 receptors. Triple-negative breast cancer indicates a scenario in which the patient didn’t test positive for any of the three above-mentioned receptors. This type of cancer is rare, and the chances of recurring or spreading are higher; however, it depends on the location and stage of the cancer.

  2. Signs/Symptoms of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer TNBC (Triple-negative Breast Cancer) has some symptoms in common with other forms of cancer, and recognizing them is important for timely diagnosis and treatment. Some symptoms to watch out for are: ●Skin changes or dimpling in the breast skin ●An abnormal mass or lump in the breast ●Swelling of the breast, whether in parts or widespread ●Unexplained pain in the nipple or breast ●Nipples turning inwards ●Watch out for flaking, dry, red, or thickened skin on the nipple and breast area ●Swollen lymph nodes near the collarbone or under the arm ●Abnormal nipple discharge - something that is not the breast milk What are the Causes of TNBC (Triple-Negative Breast Cancer)? Several risk factors associated with triple-negative breast cancer are: ●Age: the chances of TNBC are higher in premenopausal women than in postmenopausal women. ●Genetics: both males and females with mutated genes are at greater risk of being diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. ●Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle: People suffering from overweight and high BMI are at a higher risk of developing TNBC. This also applies to people living a sedentary lifestyle. ●Pregnancy: several studies indicate that pregnant women and mothers have a high chance of developing triple-negative breast cancer. How is Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Diagnosed? Doctors often check for breast mass or lump to identify triple-negative breast cancer. However, at times, the symptoms appear long after the condition develops, and thus, it is best to undergo regular breast check-ups. Medical professionals will first suspect abnormal growth and then conduct a biopsy to check whether the growth is cancerous or benign.

  3. What are the Treatment Options Available for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer? The number of treatments available for triple-negative breast cancer is limited. Some of them are: ●Chemotherapy: Chemo or chemotherapy is one of the most practiced treatments to treat or relieve symptoms of TNBC. When chemo is done prior to surgery, it is known as neoadjuvant surgery since this shrinks the tumor to make lumpectomy possible. ●Radiation Therapy: This form of treatment uses imaging tests like X-rays to target the affected area and kill cancerous cells. This therapy works well when combined with chemotherapy. ●Surgery: The surgeon will remove the breast either partially or completely to remove the maximum cancer cells possible. Is it Possible to Prevent Triple-Negative Breast Cancer? It wouldn’t be wise to say that you can entirely prevent breast cancer since several factors or reasons play a role. However, you can surely take measures to reduce the chances of developing TNBC. Some things you can do are: ●Exercising vigorously for 75 minutes per week can help improve fitness and decrease the chances of developing TNBC. ●Maintain a healthy diet and weight. ●People with a family medical history of breast cancer or related cancers should undergo regular check-ups. A Note from Sunflower Multispeciality Hospital TNBC (Triple-negative Breast Cancer) is a rare but serious condition. This type of cancer lacks the progesterone receptor, HER2/neu receptor, and estrogen receptor and is diagnosed only with the help of special tests or biopsy. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to treat the condition, and in case of any red flags, please visit our breast cancer hospital in Ahmedabad.
