Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the cells of the breast. It is one of the most common cancers affecting women, though it can also occur in men. The disease starts when cells in the breast begin to grow uncontrollably, forming a lump or mass that may spread to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can manifest in various forms, including ductal carcinoma, which begins in the milk ducts, and lobular carcinoma, which starts in the lobules where milk is produced.
Early detection through regular screening, such as mammograms, clinical breast exams, and self-exams, is crucial for effective treatment and improved survival rates. Symptoms may include a lump in the breast, changes in breast shape or size, discharge from the nipple, or changes in the skin texture. Treatment options vary based on the cancer stage and type and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapies. Advancements in medical research and technology continue to improve treatment outcomes and support for individuals affected by breast cancer.
