What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. The damaged cells can invade surrounding tissue, but with early detection and treatment, most people continue a normal life.
Breast cancer usually starts off in the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply them with milk.
A malignant tumor can spread to other parts of the body. A breast cancer that started off in the lobules is known as lobular carcinoma, while one that developed from the ducts is called ductal carcinoma.
The symptoms...
• A lump in a breast
• A pain in the armpits or breast that do not seem to be related to the woman's menstrual period
• Pitting or redness of the skin of the breast, like the skin of an orange
• A rash around (or on) one of the nipple
• A swelling (lump) in one of the armpits
• An area of thickened tissue in a breast
• One of the nipples has a discharge, sometimes it may contain blood
• The nipple changes in appearance, it may become sunken or inverted
• The size or the shape of the breast changes
• The nipple-skin or breast-skin may have started to peel, scale or flake.
