Breast Cancer Facts and ResearchBreast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue. Signs of breast cancer may include a change in the size of the breast, dimpling of the skin on the body, a lump in the breast, fluid coming from the nipple, or consistently red patchy skin around the breast. As breast cancer spreads, you may experience swollen lymph nodes, shortness of breath, yellow skin, or bone pain. In the United States, women have a 1 in 8 chance of developing an aggressive form of breast cancer in their lifetime. When breast cancer is aggressive, it starts in the breast glands but grows into the breast tissue. There are many treatments for breast cancer, a cure has not yet been found. However, there are effective treatments available to manage breast cancer patients. Treatments for breast cancer will depend on the type of breast cancer you have developed and also where it has spread. The breast cancer patient will work with their doctor to come up with the best plan to improve their health. There are two types of aggressive cancer, one is ductal carcinoma. This is the most common type of cancer among breast cancer patients, accounting for approximately 80%. Cancer cells start in a milk canal, break through the walls and invade breast tissue. It may continue to be limited, meaning it remains around where the tumor originated. On the other hand, cancer cells can spread to any part of the body. Invasive lobular carcinoma accounts for approximately 10% of aggressive breast cancers. When dealing with ILC, most women experience thickening around or in the breast instead of a breast lump. Unfortunately some women may have signs of the combination of both. These are the most frequently asked questions about managing aggressive cancer. Like what emerges… middle of paper… male breast cancers are diagnosed when a man discovers a lump on his chest. However, unlike women, men tend to put off visiting the doctor until they experience more serious symptoms, such as nipple bleeding. It's like the man is afraid to go to the doctor, that's something. But unfortunately by that time the cancer had already spread if blood comes out of the nipple.
