types of breast cancer |
There are several types of breast cancer, but most often is of two types: ductal and lobular carcinoma carcionoma. Ductal carcinoma is a cancer that appears in the ductus or pipelines that transport milk in the breast. Lobular carcinoma is cancer that found in the lobules or milk glands makers. Cancer that has not spread outside the duct or lobule is called in-situ means "in place". When it spreads, it is called invasive or infiltrating.
Ductal Carcinoma
In ductal carcinoma in-situ cancer is located along the channel ASI. At this stage, nearly 100% of cancer patients can be cured. The easiest way to identify ductal carcinoma in-situ is a mammogram on a regular / annual. You can also check it out yourself with a technique called BSE (breast self-checking).
If allowed, ductal carcinoma eventually spread to the surrounding tissues. ASI line wall thinning and eventual rupture, then the cancer had spread. The spread can be limited around the origin of the cancer, but can also throughout the body (metastasis) via the blood circulation. Spread mainly to lymph glands in the armpits and other organs such as the bone, liver and lungs. Approximately 70% of breast cancers are invasive ductal carcinoma.
Lobular Carcinoma
In lobular carcinoma in- situ (also called lobular neoplasia); cancer is still not penetrating the wall of the lobules. Potentially invasive lobular carcinoma metastasis and spread to other body parts, starting from the fatty tissue. Approximately 10-15% of breast cancers are invasive lobular carcinoma. This type of cancer does not always cause a lump, but it just makes the affected tissue to thicken so it can be difficult to detect.
Paget's disease
Type of breast cancer is the cancer most often the nipple, known as Paget's disease. The spread of this cancer begins and spreads to the ductus skin around the nipple and areola (the dark circle around the nipple). The skin around the nipple often feels rough, speckled, red and bleeding. Patients will feel itchy and hot.
