Report
Male & Female Reproductive System Scenario 1 The 50-year-old Caucasian Mrs. Smith's main concerns would be the cancer's spread and the potential for it to spread to her bones, connective tissue, or other organs. In addition to being older when she gave birth to her first child, this woman is more susceptible to breast cancer since she is reaching menopause. Her probability of developing metastatic illness is increased since she has had a longer medical evaluation after the tumor was first discovered a year ago (Gerber et al., 2021) . To live with an incurable metastatic illness is the worst conceivable consequence. Removal of lymph nodes, bilateral mastectomy, and lumpectomy are a few of the anticipated surgical procedures. Expect complications connected to body image; "Matters pertaining to the breast provoke significant emotional responses and affect one's body image." Arm lymphedema may result after the excision of lymph nodes (Tierney & Shute, 2020) . Alopecia, bone marrow insufficiency, exhaustion, mouth sores, brittle nails, diarrhea, nausea, and hand-foot syndrome are just a few of the adverse symptoms that may arise with radiation or chemotherapy. The following would be tested as part of this: Tests for pathology include biopsy, MRI, ultrasounds, and CEA tumor markers. Among the more than fifty authorized treatments for breast cancer are hormone therapy (ÇİFTCİ, 2020) . A physician treating a patient must adhere to the National Cancer Institute's standards, which are based on the most recent research, and consider factors such as hormone receptors and staging.
