What Is Breast Cancer?

 What Is Breast Cancer?
Before discussing breast cancer, it's important to be familiar with the
anatomy of the breast. The normal breast consists of milk- producing
glands that are connected to the surface of the skin at the nipple by narrow ducts.

The glands and ducts are supported by
connective tissue made up of fat and
fibrous material. Blood vessels, nerves, and
lymphatic channels to the lymph
nodes make up most of the rest of the breast
tissue.
This breast anatomy sits under the skin and on
top of the chest muscles.
As in all forms of cancer, the abnormal tissue
that makes up
breast cancer is the patient's own cells that
have multiplied uncontrollably.
Those cells may also travel to locations in the
body where they are not normally found.
When that happens, the cancer is called
metastatic.
Breast cancer develops in the breast tissue,
primarily
in the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) or glands
(lobular carcinoma).
The cancer is still called and treated as breast
cancer even if it is first discovered after the
cells have travelled to other areas of the body.
In those cases, the cancer is referred to as
metastatic or advanced breast cancer.
Breast cancer usually begins with the formation
of a small,
confined tumor (lump), or as calcium deposits
(microcalcifications)
and then spreads through channels within the
breast to the lymph nodes or
through the blood stream to other organs.
The tumor may grow and invade tissue around
the breast, such as the
skin or chest wall. Different types of breast
cancer grow and
spread at different rates -- some take years to
spread beyond the
breast while others grow and spread quickly.
And more so for more prevention and cure, our
body needs substantial
antioxidants and that is why Aimglobal presents
