Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the one of the most common malignancies afflicting women. In some parts, it is the most common malignancy as far as cancer occurrence is concerned. Great majority of breast cancers are adenocarcinomas, which means cancers developing from glandular tissues. When it develops from canal cells, it is called as canalary cancer and when it develops from lobules, it is called as lobular cancer. There are two kinds of breast cancer: Invasive Cancer: This is a more frequent kind of cancer in which cancerous cells cross canal walls and invade close tissues. These cancers can reach the lymph nodes (particularly those situated close to armpits) or other tissues in the body. Organs with the bigger risk to develop metastasis of breast cancer are bones, lung, liver and brain. "In Situ" or Intra-Canalary Cancer: Cancerous cells stay inside the canals.
