Before any treatments can begin, doctors will have to perform diagnosis to be certain the cancer is present. Some of the tests performed by doctor may include mammography and ultrasound. If cancer is detected in the breast tissues, further testing is required to determine the stages of the cancer. Breast cancer treatments may include chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy and surgery.
The types of treatment used depend on the stages of the cancer. Early stage of cancer can be treated with surgery alone or it may involve a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy after surgery. Cancer that has progressed to later stage always involves a combination of treatments to treat the disease that may have spread to other part of the body.

Usually women over the age of 55 have higher risk of getting breast cancer. It is uncommon for teen to get breast cancer at young age but again anything is possible. You have higher risk of breast cancer if you have family history of this disease. Breast lump can be cancerous or non-cancerous, normally breast lump start out as non-cancerous and if left untreated can developed into breast cancer. The best option to do right now is talk to your doctor and gets further diagnosis whether the lump is cancerous or non-cancerous. Early detection of lump is the best method for treating and preventing breast cancer.
