Cancer Of the breast is usually di
yided into two forms, the hard o.
scirrhus cancer and the soft or med
ullary cancer In addition to thest
there is the eating form called Pa
get s disease Of the nipple. Tht
scirrhus cancer nearly always start.
near the nipple in the milk duets, a,
a little lump, often on the site of &
former milk cake, or an abscess. II
grows slowly but steadfast Soon il
duplicates the skin of the breast anC
an i'll smelling ulcer forms. Later
the cancer germs and cells will mi.
CRATE into the lymphatic glands in
the armpit and in the lower part OF
the neck. And from there the cells
and germs will attack internal or
gans like the liver and others. This
Of course means death.
The medullary cancer may form in
any part Of the breast and grows fan
quicker to large size and also attacks
quicker the lymphatic glands in the
armpit, and from there quicker the
internal organs.
The nipple cancer begins as a
small liberation on the nipple and Of
ten is mistaken for eczema. 1t creeps
along the milk ducts into the breast
and forms a swelling there. 1t will
also 90 eating along the skin as an
liberation often forming nodules in
the skin that reach clear around the
chest and which later on form open
sores. Finally, but far later, the
lymphatic glands are attacked as in
the other two forms, and then the
progress is the same.
Aside of these the "true" cancers
there is a malignant growth found in
the breast called "sarcoma. This
is usually found in younger persons,
grows very fast and often to enor-
nous size, the breast looking like a
lump Of polished blue steel 1t does
not affect the lymphatic glands, but
its cells 90 by means Of the blood
to the lungs and form new
growths there causing death by suf-
location.
A benign tumor of the breast call
ad adenuma will often turn into
cancer and consequently had best be
removed before il becomes cancerous.
The usual way most physicians and
surgeons treat cancer of the breast
is either to cut il out with the knife
Dr to eat it out with plasters or
,alves. In many cases too the pa
tents themselves neglect small
ump in the breast even If it has the
.hooting cancerous pain. They put
IN all kinds of liniments and by rub
,ing this in only irritate the cancer
10 that it grows quicker. Often
wen when large alterations exist no
physician is called in but all kinds
Il patent OintmentS are used
When a cancer is daily irntated
" plasters 10 eat il out the cells and
.erms multiply very fast and finally
.cciu 20 migrate 10 the lymphatic
lands. In fact the cancer often
rows more in the deeper parts than .
be eating plaster removes from the .
urface Of the liberation. A lump
{ course comes out. but in the mean
.me the deeper parts have become
lfected and after superficial healing
BE- cancer returns.
In addition 90 this the infected
mph glands finally allow cancer
erms and cells % migrate into the
lterual organs and cause death. In
.her cases they also form large ul- .
.rations.
In operations with the knife the
'csh cut surfaces are frequently IN
.ulaied during the operation with
