  Mr Angus B Gordon FRCS,
Consultant Breast Surgeon.
 

        Fortunately on most occasions a woman aged 30-60 with a breast lump will
have a benign cyst containing fluid. Some women have many cysts in one or both
breasts which may be too small to feel.          

Breast Cancer Management has altered and evolved considerably over the last 50
years.  However, the basic treatment options for breast cancer, as indeed in
most malignant disease, remain unchanged.

These may be summarised as:

• Surgeon - Surgery and surgical options • Medical Oncologist - Medical
treatment with both endocrine (hormone) treatment and chemotherapy • Clinical
Oncologist - Radiation treatment or radiotherapy

  Each one of the specialties are usually carried out by separate doctors,
although some clinical oncologists are also medical oncologists (and referred to
as radiation oncologists). As 40,000 women develop breast cancer a year many
lumps will prove to be malignant, in fact age is the single biggest risk factor
for breast cancer. A woman of 80 with a lump is more likely to have a breast
cancer than a woman of 45.
