Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. The breast is made up of lobes and ducts. Each breast has 15 to 20 sections called lobes. Each lobe has many smaller sections called lobules. These Lobules end in dozens of tiny bulbs that produce milk. The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are linked by thin tubes called ducts. Cancer can arise from either the breast lobules, ducts or breast skin. Inflammatory breast cancer is a deadly disease. Some times it can mimic as infection on the skin overlying the breast. This need to be treated very aggressively. Breast cancers mainly are two types, In- Situ or Invasive cancers. Remember EARLY DETECTION is the key for better survival.
