Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the breast in men and women. There are two main types of breast cancer: Ductal carcinoma starts in the tubes (ducts) that move milk from the breast to the nipple. Most breast cancers are of this type.Lobular carcinoma starts in parts of the breast, called lobules, which produce milk. In rare cases, women can have a breast

Breast cancer isn't just a woman's disease. Men also have breast tissue that can undergo cancerous changes. Before this I never though that men also has a potential to have a breast cancer. While women are about 100 times more likely to get breast cancer, any man can develop breast cancer. Male breast cancer is most common between the ages of 60 and 70. The prognosis for male breast cancer is the

What is the breast? The breast is a collection of glands and fatty tissue that lies between the skin and the chest wall. The glands inside the breast produce milk after a woman has a baby. Each gland is also called a lobule, and many lobules make up a lobe. There are 15 to 20 lobes in each breast. The milk gets to the nipple from the glands by way of tubes called ducts. The glands and ducts

ENCOURAGING women to systematically examine themselves for signs of breast cancer does not reduce deaths from the disease, a major review of the evidence showed yesterday. Many women practise a rigid routine of checking their breasts on a regular basis to see if there are any lumps that might indicate they have cancer.But the review by researchers at the Cochrane Collaboration – an

The 5-year breast cancer survival rate for stage 2 breast cancer diagnosed in the U.S. varies according to size of the tumor and whether or not cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.If the breast cancer is under 2 centimeters in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm (the axillary lymph nodes), it is stage IIA breast cancer and the survival rate is 88%-92% (American Cancer
