Synopsis
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that arises from the formation of malignant (cancerous) cells in the breast tissues. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which originates in the cells of the ducts. When the cancer begins in the lobes or lobules, it is referred to as lobular carcinoma, and this type is more likely than others to occur in both breasts. The most typical sign of breast cancer is a lump or a change in the texture or shape of the breast tissue. Other symptoms include a palpable mass in the breast, changes in the skin or nipple, nipple discharge, and inversion or distortion of the nipple and breast tissue.
Breast cancer is treatable when detected early, most commonly diagnosed through mammography, followed by an appropriate treatment plan.
