Patient's question:
One symptom of breast cancer is nipple retraction, how is it that it starts from the center of the nipple and indents inward?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of advanced breast cancer:1. Pain
2. Nipple discharge
3. Lumps
4. Changes in the nipple, changes in breast shape
5. Swollen axillary lymph nodes
As breast cancer progresses, it can invade lymphatic vessels and spread to regional lymph nodes. The most common sites of lymphatic metastasis are the lymph nodes in the same armpit. The lymph nodes often gradually increase in size and number. Initially, the swollen lymph nodes can be moved, but eventually, they fuse together and become fixed.
For advanced breast cancer patients, in addition to surgical, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy treatments, the auxiliary therapy of ginsenoside Rh2 from Chinese medicine can play a role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity. This can help alleviate patients' pain, prolong their lives, and improve their quality of life.
