Włókniakogruczolak piersi
Zapobieganie i profilaktyka
Włókniakogruczolak piersi (fibroadenoma) to najczęstszy łagodny guz piersi, stanowiący około 50% biopsji piersi u kobiet i występujący u około 10% pacjentek w poradniach chorób piersi. Charakteryzuje się łagodnym przebiegiem, nie jest formą raka i rzadko stanowi zagrożenie. Czynniki zmniejszające ryzyko jego rozwoju to dieta bogata w owoce i warzywa, wyższe BMI, wysokie spożycie witaminy C, umiarkowana aktywność fizyczna oraz czynniki hormonalne i reprodukcyjne, takie jak większa liczba ciąż zakończonych porodem, naturalna menopauza, stosowanie doustnej antykoncepcji oraz uregulowane lub niższe poziomy estrogenu. Warto podkreślić, że stosowanie cyklosporyny wiąże się z podwyższonym ryzykiem włókniakogruczolaka, co wymaga rozważenia zmiany na alternatywne leki immunosupresyjne, np. takrolimus. Po menopauzie zaleca się unikanie ogólnoustrojowej terapii estrogenowej w celu profilaktyki.

Wprowadzenie do włókniakogurczolaka piersi
Włókniakogruczolak piersi (fibroadenoma) to najczęściej występujący łagodny guz piersi. Guzy te stanowią około 50% wszystkich biopsji piersi wykonywanych u kobiet i występują u około 10% pacjentek w poradniach zajmujących się chorobami piersi12. Warto podkreślić, że włókniakogurczolaki mają charakter łagodny i nie stanowią formy raka piersi oraz prawie nigdy nie są niebezpieczne3. Chociaż wykrycie guza w piersi może budzić niepokój, należy pamiętać, że 80-85% guzków piersi nie ma charakteru nowotworowego4.
Czynniki obniżające ryzyko włókniakogurczolaka
Chociaż nie istnieje pewny sposób, aby całkowicie zapobiec powstawaniu włókniakogruczolaka, badania naukowe wskazują na kilka czynników, które mogą obniżać ryzyko jego wystąpienia:
Dieta i styl życia
Znaczące trendy spadkowe w ryzyku włókniakogruczolaka zaobserwowano w związku z następującymi czynnikami:
- Dieta bogata w owoce i warzywa – spożywanie dużej ilości owoców i warzyw wykazuje związek ze zmniejszonym ryzykiem rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka567
- Wyższe BMI (wskaźnik masy ciała) – wyższy wskaźnik masy ciała wiąże się ze zmniejszonym ryzykiem wystąpienia tych zmian8
- Wysokie spożycie witaminy C – badania wskazują na związek między większym spożyciem witaminy C a obniżonym ryzykiem włókniakogruczolaka9
- Regularna, umiarkowana aktywność fizyczna – w szczególności spacery i prace ogrodowe mogą przyczyniać się do zmniejszenia ryzyka1011
- Palenie papierosów – paradoksalnie, palenie tytoniu wiąże się ze zmniejszonym ryzykiem wystąpienia włókniakogruczolaka, choć oczywiście nie jest to zalecane ze względu na liczne szkodliwe skutki zdrowotne12
Czynniki hormonalne i reprodukcyjne
Na ryzyko rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka wpływają również czynniki hormonalne i reprodukcyjne:
- Większa liczba ciąż zakończonych porodem – obserwuje się istotne zmniejszenie ryzyka włókniakogruczolaka u kobiet, które urodziły więcej dzieci1314
- Naturalna menopauza – wiąże się z obniżonym ryzykiem włókniakogruczolaka1516
- Stosowanie doustnej antykoncepcji – może zmniejszać ryzyko rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka171819
- Uregulowane lub niższe poziomy estrogenu – zmniejszone ryzyko wiąże się z ograniczoną ekspozycją na estrogen w ciągu życia, późnym wystąpieniem pierwszej miesiączki lub wczesną menopauzą20
Warto zaznaczyć, że ryzyko rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka nie jest związane z wiekiem wystąpienia pierwszej miesiączki czy menopauzy, ani ze stosowaniem terapii hormonalnej, co sugerują niektóre badania21. Istnieją jednak sprzeczne dane dotyczące wpływu hormonalnych środków antykoncepcyjnych – niektóre badania wskazują, że stosowanie doustnych środków antykoncepcyjnych zawierających zarówno estrogen, jak i progestagen może wiązać się z wyższym ryzykiem rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka22.
Unikanie leków immunosupresyjnych
Ważnym aspektem profilaktyki włókniakogruczolaka może być unikanie niektórych leków immunosupresyjnych, szczególnie cyklosporyny. W literaturze medycznej dobrze udokumentowano związek między stosowaniem cyklosporyny a rozwojem włókniakogruczolaka. Lekarze powinni być świadomi tego związku, zwłaszcza u pacjentek po przeszczepach lub leczonych z powodu chorób autoimmunologicznych. W przypadku wystąpienia włókniakogruczolaka u osoby przyjmującej cyklosporynę, zaleca się przejście na alternatywny lek immunosupresyjny (np. takrolimus) w celu zapobiegania nawrotom po resekcji23.
Unikanie terapii estrogenowej po menopauzie
Po menopauzie kobieta może zapobiegać rozwojowi włókniakogruczolaka unikając jakiejkolwiek ogólnoustrojowej terapii estrogenowej24. Jest to istotne zalecenie dla kobiet po menopauzie, które rozważają hormonalną terapię zastępczą.
Badania nad predyspozycjami genetycznymi
Prowadzone są badania nad genetycznymi uwarunkowaniami włókniakogruczolaka piersi. Jedno z badań koncentrowało się na polimorfizmie genu receptora ludzkiego nabłonkowego czynnika wzrostu 2 (HER-2) w kodonie 655 (zamiana izoleucyny na walinę). Choć wyniki nie były statystycznie istotne, wskazują, że polimorfizm HER-2 Ile655Val, szczególnie w formie homozygotycznej, może odgrywać pewną rolę w etiologii powstawania włókniakogruczolaka piersi. Znaczenie tej podatności genetycznej wymaga jednak weryfikacji w większych badaniach25.
Strategie profilaktyczne i wczesne wykrywanie
Samobadanie i regularne kontrole
Kluczowym elementem wczesnego wykrywania włókniakogruczolaka jest regularne samobadanie piersi oraz wizyty kontrolne u lekarza:
- Wykonywanie regularnego samobadania piersi – pomaga we wczesnym wykryciu wszelkich guzków lub innych nieprawidłowości2627
- Badanie piersi po zakończeniu miesiączki – najlepszy moment na ocenę piersi28
- Coroczne wizyty u lekarza pierwszego kontaktu lub ginekologa w celu klinicznego badania piersi29
- Regularne badania mammograficzne (rozpoczynając od 40 roku życia, a wcześniej w przypadku zwiększonego ryzyka)3031
Szczególnie ważne jest zapoznanie się z normalnym wyglądem i odczuciem własnych piersi, aby móc szybko wykryć wszelkie zmiany. Jeśli zauważysz jakiekolwiek guzki lub zmiany w piersiach, należy niezwłocznie skonsultować się z lekarzem3233.
Zdrowy styl życia jako profilaktyka
Utrzymywanie zdrowego stylu życia może zmniejszyć ryzyko rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka oraz raka piersi:
- Zbilansowana dieta bogata w owoce, warzywa i pełne ziarna, z ograniczeniem przetworzonej żywności i tłuszczów nasyconych3435
- Regularna aktywność fizyczna – pomaga utrzymać prawidłową masę ciała i może zmniejszyć ryzyko włókniakogruczolaka3637
- Utrzymywanie zdrowej masy ciała odpowiedniej dla wieku i wzrostu3839
- Unikanie lub ograniczenie spożycia alkoholu4041
- Niepalenie papierosów4243
Badanie opublikowane w Journal of Women’s Health wykazało, że utrzymywanie zdrowego stylu życia, w tym zdrowa dieta, utrzymywanie prawidłowej masy ciała i regularne ćwiczenia, wiązało się z niższym ryzykiem rozwoju włókniakogruczolaka44.
Znajomość historii rodzinnej
Ważne jest, aby znać swoją rodzinną historię występowania włókniakogruczolaka lub raka piersi. Jeśli w rodzinie występowały przypadki tych schorzeń, może to zwiększać ryzyko ich rozwoju. W takiej sytuacji należy omówić to z lekarzem i poddać się odpowiednim badaniom przesiewowym i monitorowaniu. Badanie opublikowane w Journal of Clinical Oncology wykazało, że kobiety z rodzinną historią raka piersi były bardziej narażone na rozwój włókniakogruczolaka niż kobiety bez takiej historii45.
Postępowanie z włókniakogruczolakiemi
Monitorowanie i obserwacja
Ponieważ włókniakogurczolaki są zazwyczaj łagodne i nie powodują objawów, często nie wymagają usunięcia ani leczenia46. Ważne jest jednak regularne monitorowanie guzka, na przykład poprzez badania ultrasonograficzne piersi w określonych odstępach czasu lub, najlepiej, poprzez samobadanie w celu sprawdzenia zmian w wielkości guzka47.
U kobiet poniżej 35 roku życia zaleca się zachowawcze leczenie włókniakogruczolaka, z kontrolą co 6-12 miesięcy do czasu całkowitego ustąpienia zmiany. Włókniakogurczolaki, które nie ustępują lub pozostają niezmienione do 35 roku życia, powinny zostać wycięte48.
Wskazania do usunięcia chirurgicznego
Istnieją sytuacje, w których może być zalecane usunięcie włókniakogruczolaka:
- Gdy guz rośnie lub powoduje problemy z wyglądem piersi49
- Gdy diagnoza włókniakogruczolaka nie jest jednoznaczna i istnieje podejrzenie innego typu guza (np. guza liściastego)50
- Gdy występują objawy kliniczne (głównie ból piersi) lub markery histologiczne ryzyka raka (atypia)51
- Nawet gdy zachowawcze leczenie jest uzasadnione, pacjentki często preferują biopsję wycinkową utrzymujących się włókniakogruczolaki52
Autorzy zalecają biopsję wycinkową każdej masy, dla której diagnoza włókniakogruczolaka nie jest jednoznaczna. Jeśli jednak po badaniu klinicznym, badaniu ultrasonograficznym i biopsji cienkoigłowej można z pewnością postawić diagnozę mnogich włókniakogruczolaki, uzasadnione jest leczenie zachowawcze53.
Nowe podejścia terapeutyczne
Badania sugerują, że suplementacja Boswellią w połączeniu z betainą i myo-inozytolą może zmniejszać wymiary włókniakogruczolaka u młodych kobiet, co stanowi potencjalnie obiecującą strategię postępowania54. Jest to interesująca alternatywa dla pacjentek, które nie kwalifikują się do leczenia chirurgicznego lub preferują podejście nieinwazyjne.
Podsumowanie zaleceń profilaktycznych
Chociaż nie istnieje pewny sposób zapobiegania włókniakogruczolakowi piersi, można podjąć kroki w celu zmniejszenia ryzyka i wczesnego wykrycia zmian:
- Prowadzenie zdrowego stylu życia – zbilansowana dieta, regularna aktywność fizyczna, utrzymanie prawidłowej masy ciała5556
- Regularne samobadanie piersi i znajomość ich normalnego wyglądu i odczucia5758
- Coroczne wizyty kontrolne u lekarza z badaniem piersi59
- Regularne badania przesiewowe (mammografia) zgodnie z zaleceniami lekarza60
- Rozważenie antykoncepcji hormonalnej po konsultacji z lekarzem6162
- Unikanie ogólnoustrojowej terapii estrogenowej po menopauzie63
- W przypadku pacjentek stosujących cyklosporynę – rozważenie zmiany na alternatywny lek immunosupresyjny po konsultacji z lekarzem64
- Znajomość rodzinnej historii chorób piersi i odpowiednie dostosowanie częstotliwości badań przesiewowych6566
Wielopłaszczyznowe podejście skupiające się na wczesnym wykrywaniu, zbilansowanym odżywianiu, aktywności fizycznej i umiarkowaniu daje możliwość aktywnego udziału w zachowaniu zdrowia piersi67. Wczesne wykrycie jest kluczowe w leczeniu chorób piersi, w tym włókniakogruczolaka6869.

Fibroadenomas are common benign breast conditions among women and account for 50% of breast biopsies performed. […] Significant decreasing trends in risk of fibroadenoma were observed with intake of fruits and vegetables and with number of live births, and a reduced risk was also associated with natural menopause, oral contraceptive use, and moderate exercise (walking and gardening). […] In conclusion, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and the use of oral contraceptives may reduce risk of fibroadenoma.

Fibroadenomas occur in about 10 percent of women seen in breast clinics, but account for about one half of all breast biopsies. […] The risk of developing fibroadenomas is not related to age of menarche or menopause, or to use of hormonal therapy. Conversely, higher body mass index, greater number of full-term pregnancies, higher intake of vitamin C and cigarette smoking are associated with a decreased risk of these lesions. […] Depending on the patient’s age, family history and history of previous biopsies, conservative treatment of fibroadenomas may or may not be warranted. […] The authors conclude that, in women younger than 35 years, conservative management of fibroadenomas is recommended, with a follow-up every six to 12 months until complete regression. […] Fibroadenomas that don’t regress or that remain unchanged by age 35 should be excised.

It is important to reiterate that a fibroadenoma is entirely benign and not a form of breast cancer, and is almost never dangerous. […] The following methods of prevention may be helpful, but not guaranteed. […] Having lower or regulated estrogen levels: While there is no way to entirely prevent fibroadenoma formation, a decreased risk is associated with reduced lifetime estrogen exposure hormonal contraception (oral birth control), late puberty, or early menopause. […] Maintaining a healthy lifestyle: A healthy lifestyle has also been associated with a lower risk of developing a fibroadenoma, including not smoking, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy body weight. Some studies have even found an association between lower fibroadenoma risk and the consumption of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

To prevent this you should be as familiar as possible with their breasts and check them regularly, so if a lump does develop, you can take action as soon as possible. […] Although finding a lump in your breast may be worrying at first, between 80 and 85 percent of breast lumps turn out not be cancerous. […] Having said this, it is important to see your doctor if you do detect an abnormality.

- #19 Fibroadenoma â· What to do about lumps in the breast?https://www.primomedico.com/en/treatment/breast-fibroadenoma/
Fibroadenomas are breast lumps that are formed by an increase in connective and glandular tissue. They are very common and generally benign. […] The risk of developing a fibroadenoma is reduced by taking a contraceptive, commonly known as the birth control pill. […] Since fibroadenomas are typically benign and do not cause any symptoms, they are generally not removed and do not require treatment. […] However, it is important to regularly monitor the lump, for example, through ultrasound examinations of the breast at specific intervals or, ideally, by self-examination to check for any changes in the size of the lump. […] Fibroadenomas do not generally increase the risk of breast cancer. […] If the diagnosis of a fibroadenoma is confirmed, there is initially no indication of malignancy, and the lump can be monitored in the future.

Practice breast awareness: Regularly performing breast self-exams and being aware of any changes in your breasts can help to identify any lumps or other abnormalities early on, which can be crucial for early diagnosis and treatment. The National Breast Cancer Foundation recommends that women perform breast self-exams regularly and be aware of any changes in their breasts. Early detection is key in the treatment of breast conditions, including fibroadenomas. […] Consider hormonal birth control options: Some studies suggest that certain types of hormonal birth control may be associated with a higher risk of developing fibroadenomas. Women who are concerned about this should discuss alternative birth control options with their healthcare provider. A study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers Prevention found that the use of hormonal birth control pills containing both estrogen and progestin was associated with a higher risk of developing fibroadenomas. Women who are concerned about this may wish to discuss alternative birth control options with their healthcare provider.

Fibroadenoma associated with cyclosporine is well documented in the literature; however, cyclosporine associated phyllodes tumors are rare. […] Clinicians must be cognizant of the association between breast tumors and cyclosporine and the need to transition to alternative immunosuppressive agent to prevent recurrence after resection. […] Transition to an alternative immunosuppressive agent is a necessary component of recurrence prevention. […] It was not until 2015 that her pediatric surgeon noted a possible association between cyclosporine and fibroadenoma, at which point, cyclosporine was discontinued and tacrolimus initiated. […] There has been no further tumor recurrence since the discontinuation of cyclosporine. […] Discontinuation of the drug and transition to an alternative immunosuppressive agent is a necessary component of tumor recurrence prevention.

Studies on the association between the Ile to Val polymorphism at codon 655 of the human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) gene and susceptibility to breast cancer have been reported for almost all ethnic populations, with both positive or negative conclusions. […] No study, however, has yet been focused on the possible association between this gene and its predisposition to benign breast lesions, especially on risk for fibroadenoma. […] We found that the Val variant allele and genotype frequency of this polymorphism is higher in cases with fibroadenoma; however, this difference was not significant […] Applying logistic regression analysis, we found an increased risk of fibroadenoma formation in carriers of the Val allele (odds ratio=1.17; 95% confidence interval=0.67-2.05), in which the highest risk was associated with homozygous genotype (odds ratio=3.07; 95% confidence interval=0.97-9.72), but this risk was not significant. […] In spite of insignificant differences, our results indicate that HER-2 Ile655Val polymorphism, especially in a homozygous form might play some role in the etiology of breast fibroadenoma formation. The significance of this susceptibility, however, will have to be verified by larger studies.

Unfortunately, you cant do anything to lower your risk of fibroadenomas. However, you can take these steps to reduce breast cancer risk: […] Perform regular breast self-exams. […] Visit your primary care provider or gynecologist each year for clinical breast examinations. […] Get regular mammogram screenings (starting at age 40, but earlier if youre high-risk). […] Dont drink alcohol. If you do, drink alcohol in moderation only. […] Dont smoke cigarettes. […] Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and exercise regularly. […] Maintain a weight thats healthy for you.
- #27 Fibroadenoma of Breast Prevention – WelcomeCurehttps://www.welcomecure.com/diseases/fibroadenoma-of-breast/prevention
Prevention is better than cure. […] Routine self examination of Breast is very important in early detection of any breast lumps. This becomes more important if there is a positive family history.

Fibroadenomas are breast lumps that are formed by an increase in connective and glandular tissue. They are very common and generally benign. […] The risk of developing a fibroadenoma is reduced by taking a contraceptive, commonly known as the birth control pill. […] Since fibroadenomas are typically benign and do not cause any symptoms, they are generally not removed and do not require treatment. […] However, it is important to regularly monitor the lump, for example, through ultrasound examinations of the breast at specific intervals or, ideally, by self-examination to check for any changes in the size of the lump. […] Fibroadenomas do not generally increase the risk of breast cancer. […] If the diagnosis of a fibroadenoma is confirmed, there is initially no indication of malignancy, and the lump can be monitored in the future.

Fibroadenomas occur in about 10 percent of women seen in breast clinics, but account for about one half of all breast biopsies. […] The risk of developing fibroadenomas is not related to age of menarche or menopause, or to use of hormonal therapy. Conversely, higher body mass index, greater number of full-term pregnancies, higher intake of vitamin C and cigarette smoking are associated with a decreased risk of these lesions. […] Depending on the patient’s age, family history and history of previous biopsies, conservative treatment of fibroadenomas may or may not be warranted. […] The authors conclude that, in women younger than 35 years, conservative management of fibroadenomas is recommended, with a follow-up every six to 12 months until complete regression. […] Fibroadenomas that don’t regress or that remain unchanged by age 35 should be excised.

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign (non-cancerous) tumor in the breast. If it is diagnosed by needle biopsy and what was seen on the mammogram looked like a fibroadenoma (and not something more serious), it doesn’t need to be removed and can be watched without further treatment. If the tumor is growing or causing problems with the way the breast looks, it may be removed. […] Sometimes it might be hard for a pathologist looking at a needle biopsy to tell for sure if a growth (tumor) is a fibroadenoma or a phyllodes tumor. In that case, the pathologist may call it a cellular fibroepithelial lesion or a benign fibroepithelial neoplasm. Because it could be a phyllodes tumor, the tumor is most often treated by removing it completely.
