What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a cancer that develops in the cells of the breast. It can occur in both males and females, although it is far more frequent in women. Breast cancer typically develops in the milk-producing glands (lobules) or in the ducts that transport milk to the nipple. However, it can begin in different areas of the breast tissue. It happens when cells in the breast expand rapidly and create tumors.

Causes of Breast Cancer?

Although the exact causes of breast cancer are unresolved, a number of variables might contribute to its development. These elements can be roughly classified into genetic, hormonal, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Types of Breast Cancer

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)

Unusual cells grow inside the ducts and lobules of a pre-invasive tumor, without having yet penetrated the surrounding tissue.

How Breast Cancer is Diagnosed?

Determining whether there is a diagnosis of breast cancer requires several tests and procedures that are part of the complex process of diagnosing breast cancer.

Mammography

An in-depth X-ray of the breast called a diagnostic mammography is performed to evaluate any abnormalities seen during a screening mammogram or to look into symptoms like lumps or discharge from the nipples.

Mammography
Breast Ultrasound

The most common form of breast cancer, making up over 80% of cases. The invasion of cancer cells into the surrounding breast tissue is an aspect of IDC.

Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

A breast MRI can identify abnormalities that might not be seen on mammograms or ultrasounds by using a magnet and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of the breast tissue.
