Breast cancer is beyond a medical condition, it has become a topic that has been spreading awareness every day, a chapter that resonates well with individuals, families, and communities. This excruciating battle has touched hearts, spread awareness, and empowered people to take good control of their health. Through this blog, we shall delve into the intricate condition of breast cancer and how it impacts millions.
Breast cancer is a disease that emerges in the breast with a malignant tumor. The tumor encompasses a mass of cells that grow uncontrollably. Cancerous cells can potentially spread to other tissues or parts of the body, once metastasized. The cancer originates in three types of breast tissues namely lobules, ducts, and connective tissue.
Cancer often starts in the milk-producing glands called the lobules or the milk ducts. Sometimes, tumors can also form in the fibrous and fatty connective tissue tissue around these glands and ducts.
There are various types of breast cancer, and the treatment depends on the type and how advanced the stage is. When breast cancer spreads into a healthy tissue, it is said to be invasive. If it stays within the breast's ducts or lobules, it's noninvasive.
