Description

Breast cancer can be invasive or noninvasive. Invasive breast cancer is cancer that spreads into surrounding tissues. Noninvasive breast cancer does not go beyond the milk ducts or lobules in the breast. Breast cancer occurs in women and rarely in men also. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, a lump in the armpit, pain in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple, breast or skin over the breast. Its treatment depends on the stage of cancer. It may consist of chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, and surgery in a combined multimodality form.
