CANCER DE MAMA
1.Adenocarcinoma (n):malignant tumor arising from a gland or organ.
Adenocarcinoma
2.Benign (adj): mild, noncancerous, and/or not spreading (compare malignant), as of a
disease or growth, esp. a benign tumor.
Benigno
3.Biopsy (n): removal of a small amount of tissue and/or fluid from a living body and its
examination by microscopic and/or other analytical methods to establish or confirm the
presence of a disease, to follow its course, and/or to estimate its outcome. The specimen
is usually obtained by suction through a needle, but other methods and instruments,
including surgery, are also used.

Administer (To) a --Practicar una --4.Breast (n): front of the chest, esp. either of the two masses of tissue --mammary
glands-- that include and surround the nipples. In females the mammary glands produce
milk after the birth of a baby. Each breast is made up of glandular lobules that secrete
milk. The milk passes into ducts (lactiferous ducts), is stored in dilations of the ducts
(ampullae), and is discharged through tiny openings in the nipple area.

5.Breast cancer (n): one of the most common malignancies in women with several
known risk factors, including a family history of breast cancer, early menarche, late
menopause, having no children or having them late in life, exposure to ionizing radiation,
obesity, hypertension, chronic cystic disease of breast, and possibly a high-fat diet. Early
symptons are usually detected by the woman during breast self-examination and include a
small painless lump; thick or dimpled skin, or a change in the nipple; later symptons

include nipple discharge, pain, and swollen lymph glands in the armpit area. Diagnosis is
made by physical examination, mammography, and laboratory examination of tumor cells
obtained through biopsy. Treatment depends on the location and size of the tumor and
whether or not it has spread to other areas, and may be lumpectomy or some type (e.g.,
radical or simple) of mastectomy, often followed by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
Since early diagnosis and treatment greatly improve the rate of cure, women are advised
to practice regular breast self examination.

6.Breast self-examination (n): How to examine your breasts. 1. In the shower:
Examine your breasts during bath or shower; hands glide easier over wet skin. Fingers
flat, move gently over every part of each breast. Use right hand to examine left breast,
left hand for right breast. Check for any lump, hard knot or thickening. 2. Before a
mirror: Inspect your breasts with arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high
overhead. Look for any changes in contour of each breast, a swelling, dimpling of skin or
changes in the nipple. Then, rest palms on hips and press down firmly to flex your chest
muscles. Left and right breast will not exactly match --few womens breasts do. Regular
inspection shows what is normal for you and will give you confidence in your
examination. 3. Lying down: To examine your right breast, put a pillow or folded towel
under your right shoulder. Place right hand behind your head --this distributes breast
tissue more evenly on the chest. With left hand, fingers flat, press gently in small
circular motions around an imaginary clock face. Begin at outermost top of your right
breast for 12 oclock, then move to 1 oclock, and so on around the circle back to 12. A
ridge of firm tissue in the lower curve of each breast is normal. Then move in an inch,
toward the nipple, keep circling to examine every part of your breast, including the
nipple. This requires at least three more circles. Now slowly repeat procedure on your
left breast with a pillow under your left shoulder and left hand behind head. Notice how
your breast structure feels. Finally, squeeze the nipple of each breast gently between
thumb and index finger. Any discharge, clear or bloody, should be reported to your
doctor immediately.

use of drugs (e.g., antibacterials, antifungals) to harm or kill disease-causing
microorganisms but is most commonly used to refer to the use of drugs to treat cancer.
Anticancer (antineoplastic) drugs generally inhibit the proliferation of cells and include
alkylating agents (e.g., chlorambucil ), antimetabolites (e.g., fluorouracil),periwinkle
plant derivatives (e.g., vincristine), antineoplastic antibiotics (e.g., adramycin,
mithramycin), and radioactive isotopes (e.g., iodine-131,phosphorus-32, gold-198). All
these agents are associated with side effects, the most common of which are nausea and
vomiting, suppression of bone marrow function, and loss of hair.

30.Fibrocystic disease of the breast (n): common condition among women
characterized by the presence of one or more cysts in the breast. The cysts are benign but
should be watched carefully for any changes in size or consistency; women with
fibrocystic disease of the breast have a higher-than-average likelihood of developing
breast cancer later in life. In many cases no treatment is necessary ; in other cases
aspiration of the cyst with/without biopsy is performed. Some investigators believe that
consumption of caffeine (e.g., in coffee, soft drinks) in large amounts is associated with
fibrocystic breast disease. Also called Cystic breast disease, cystic mastitis.

pressure is persistently above 140/90 mg Hg. Causes of hypertension include adrenal and
kidney disorders, toxemia of pregnancy, thyroid disorders, and emotional stress, but in
most cases --essential hypertension-- the cause is unknown, though obesity,

hypercholesterolemia, and high sodium levels are predisposing factors. Symptoms, when
present, include headache, palpitations, and easy fatiguability. Severe hypertension
damages the cardiovascular system and frequently results in heart disorders or
cardiovascular accidents. Treatment is by diuretics, vasodilators, central nervous system
depressants and inhibitors, and ganglionic blocking agents (beta blockers, e.g.,
propanolol). Adequate rest and a low-sodium , low-fat diet are also usually advised. Also
called High blood pressure.

breast was removed.

staphylococcal) infection; it is most common in the first 2 months of lactation and is
accompanied by pain, swelling, fever, malaise, and swelling of the lymph nodes in the
armpit area. Treatment includes antibiotics, analgesics, and rest; nursing can usually
continue. A rare chronic form sometimes occurs in association with severe tuberculosis.

60.Menarche (n): first menstruation, usually occurring between the ages of 9 and 16.
Menarca
61.Menopause (n): cessation of menstruation, usually occurring naturally between the
ages of 45 and 55. The term is also used to refer to that stage of a womans life during
which gradual hormonal changes, sometimes accompanied by vasomotor symptoms,
such as hot flashes, and other signs (e.g., dryness of vaginal membranes and
palpitations), lead to the cessation of menstrual periods. The production of
gonadotropins from the pituitary and estrogens from the ovaries gradually decrease;
ovulation ceases, and menstrual periods stop. The periods may become scanty and
irregular in occurrence, or there may be episodes of heavy bleeding or abrupt cessation.
Emotional disturbances may result from hormonal imbalances during the period, but
many of the symptoms once believed due to menopause cannot be reliably attributed to
it. Also called Climateric and, colloquially, Change of life.

73.Obesity (n): condition of being overweight; increase in the amount of fat in the
subcutaneous tissues of the body. The most common cause is overeating, often dating to
