What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease that occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. These cells can invade nearby tissue and, in some cases, spread to other parts of the body through the blood or lymphatic system.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, although men can also develop breast cancer. The disease can begin in different areas of the breast, including the milk ducts, lobules, or surrounding tissue.
Signs and Symptoms
Breast cancer symptoms can vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice changes in their breast before a diagnosis, while others may have no symptoms at all and discover cancer through routine screening. Understanding the warning signs can help you recognize changes that should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
