Breast Cancer
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in the body grow out of control. Cancers are named after the part of the body where the abnormal cell growth begins.
Breast cancers are cancer cells from the breast. When breast cancer cells spread to other parts of the body, they are called metastases. There are different kinds of breast cancer. The kind of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast turn into cancer. Breast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast, like the ducts or the lobes. Common kinds of breast cancer are; Ductal carcinoma, the most common kind of breast cancer. It begins in the cells that line the milk ducts in the breast. Another type of breast cancer is called Lobular carcinoma, in this kind of breast cancer, the cancer cells begin in the lobes, or lobules, of the breast. Lobules are the glands that make milk. If the cells from Ductal or Lobular Carcinoma become invasive, they can spread to other parts of the body.
