What is Breast Cancer??

There are several different types of breast cancer that are divided into two categories.
Non-invasive cancers and Invasive cancers:
Noninvasive cancer may also be called “carcinoma in situ.” Noninvasive breast cancers are confined to the ducts or lobules and they do not spread to surrounding tissues. The two types of noninvasive breast cancers are ductal carcinoma in situ (referred to as DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (referred to as LCIS).
Hormones in a woman’s body, such as estrogen and progesterone, can play a role in the development of breast cancer. In breast cancer, estrogen causes a doubling of cancer cells every 36 hours. The growing tumor needs to increase its blood supply to provide food and oxygen. Progesterone is believed to cause stromal cells (the woman’s own cells to send out signals for more blood supply to feed the tumor. –

Breast cancer can begin in different areas of the breast, the ducts, the lobules, or in some cases, the tissue in between.
Different types of breast cancer, including non-invasive, invasive, recurrent, and metastatic breast cancers.
