TYPES OF BREAST CANCER

Most tumors that occur in the breast are benign, not cancerous, and are due to fibrocystic formations. The cyst is like a bag full of liquid and fibrosis is an abnormal development of connective tissue. Fibrosis does not increase the risk of developing a tumor and does not require special treatment. The cysts, if large, can be painful. The elimination of the liquid with a puncture usually remove the pain. The presence of one or more cysts is not conducive to the emergence of malignant tumors.Benign tumors are associated with the majority of genetic factors. The symptoms they produce pain and inflammation but are not spread to the rest of the body and are dangerous. Among malignant tumors, there are several types depending on the location of the breast where there is abnormal growth of cells and according to their stadium. Tumors may be localized or have spread, through blood vessels or lymphatic vessels, and have given rise to metastases, ie cancer in an organ distant to the original. Of all cases of breast cancer, only 7-10% of them presented metastasis initiation.

Type Of Breast Cancer

The types of breast cancer are classified as:-
1. Ductal carcinoma in situ arises in cells of the lining of the breast ducts. It is a very localized cancer that has not spread to other areas and has not metastasized. That is why this disease ‘premalignant’ can be removed easily. The cure rate is around 100%. This type of tumor can be detected through a mammogram.

2. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (or invasive) is the one that begins in the breast duct but manages to pass through and adipose tissue of the breast and then can spread to other parts of the body. It is the most common carcinomas of the breast, occurs in 80% of cases.

3. Lobular carcinoma in situ originates in the mammary glands (or lobes), and although not a true cancer, increases the risk that women can develop a cátumor in the future. Is often given before menopause. Once detected, it is important that women make mammography a year and control of several clinical tests to monitor the possible development of cancer.

4. Infiltrating lobular carcinoma (or invasive) begins in the mammary glands, but can spread and destroy tissues in the body. Between 10% and 15% of breast tumors are of this type. This carcinoma is more difficult to detect through a mammogram.

5. Inflammatory carcinoma is a rare cancer, only represents 1% of cancerous tumors of the breast. Is aggressive and fast growth. Blush makes the skin of the breast and raise its temperature. The appearance of the skin becomes thick, hollowed, like that of an orange, and bumps and wrinkles may appear. These symptoms are due to blockage caused by the cancer cells on the lymph vessels.
