Breast Cancer
Introduction:
What is cancer of the breast?
Breast cancer happens when cells in the breast tissue change and grow quickly. A tumor is made up of these strange cells. These cells that are growing in a weird way can turn into cancer if they spread to other parts of the breast or the body. As a second cancerous growth forms in a different part of the body, this is called metastasis. Metastasis can happen through the blood or the lymphatic system, which helps the body fight off diseases.
It usually starts in the lobules, which are the milk-making glands, or in the tube-shaped tubes that bring milk from the lobules to the nipple. It can sometimes start to show up in the breasts’ fatty and spongy connective tissue.
Men and women alike are likely to get a tumor in the breast. But women are 100 times more likely than guys to have it. One of the main reasons women die from cancer around the world is this. But the death rates have gone down over the past few years. More people knowing about it, regular screenings, and better treatment choices have all helped.
