About Breast Cancer
The breast is made up of glands called lobules that can make milk and thin tubes called ducts that carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple. Breast tissue also contains fat and connective tissue, lymph nodes, and blood vessels. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the cells of the ducts. Breast cancer can also begin in the cells of the lobules and in other tissues in the breast. Invasive breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from where it began in the ducts or lobules to surrounding tissue. The breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in women. It can occur in both men and women, but it is very rare in men.

In its early stage, breast cancer usually has no symptoms. But as a tumor develops, you may note the following signs:
A lump in the breast area;
Nipple discharge but you are not pregnant or breastfeeding;
An inverted nipple or nipple turning inward from time to time;
Skin color or texture change in the breast area;
Swollen lymph glands;
Breast asymmetry;
Breast pain.

Treatment for Breast Cancer
There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer. But there are things you can do that might lower your risk, such as changing risk factors that you can control (women, age, family history, genetics, lifestyle measures, including weight control, exercise, smoking, and moderating alcohol intake, breastfeeding, pregnancy,…) and could reduce breast cancer risk by about 30%. Breast cancer is an increasing public health problem.

Screening Tests
Screening tests (such as yearly mammogram) purpose is to find breast cancer early, before any symptoms can develop and the cancer usually is easier to treat.

Diagnostic Tests
Diagnostic tests (such as biopsy) are given to people who are suspected of having breast cancer. These tests are used to determine whether or not breast cancer is present and, if so, whether or not it has traveled outside the breast. Diagnostic tests also are used to gather more information about the cancer to guide decisions about treatment.

Monitoring Tests
Once breast cancer is diagnosed, many tests are used during and after treatment to monitor how well therapies are working. Monitoring tests also may be used to check for any signs of recurrence.
