Overview.
Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumors. If left unchecked, the tumors can spread throughout the body and become fatal. Breast cancer cells begin inside the milk ducts and/or the milk-producing lobules of the breast.

Breast cancer cells begin inside the milk ducts and/or the milk-producing lobules of the breast. The earliest form (in situ) is not life-threatening. Cancer cells can spread into nearby breast tissue (invasion). This creates tumor's that cause lumps or thickening.

Invasive cancers can spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs (metastasize). Metastasis can be fatal.

Treatment is based on the person, the type of cancer and its spread. Treatment combines surgery, radiation therapy and medications.

Symptoms:
Breast cancer can have combinations of symptoms, especially when it is more advanced. Most people will not experience any symptoms when the cancer is still early.

Symptoms of breast cancer can include:

-a breast lump or thickening, often without pain
-change in size, shape or appearance of the breast
-dimpling, redness, pitting or other changes in the skin
-change in nipple appearance or the skin surrounding the nipple (areola)
-abnormal or bloody fluid from the nipple
People with an abnormal breast lump should seek medical care, even if the -lump does not hurt.
-Most breast lumps are not cancer. Breast lumps that are cancerous are -more likely to be successfully treated when they are small and have not spread to nearby lymph nodes.

Treatments:
Treatment for breast cancer depends on the subtype of cancer and how much it has spread outside of the breast to lymph nodes (stages II or III) or to other parts of the body (stage IV).

Medical treatments

Doctors combine treatments to minimize the chances of the cancer coming back (recurrence). These include:
surgery to remove the breast tumor
radiation therapy to reduce recurrence risk in the breast and surrounding tissues.
