Written by Charlene J. Nuble

You feel a mild soreness in repparttar

breast so you checked for lumps. You felt a little bump. The next best step is to consult a doctor, you might have breast cancer. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts from repparttar 143642

cells of

breast. Breast cancer occurs mainly in women but this does not mean that men are safe from this disease.

A woman's breast is made up of lobules, which are glands that make repparttar 143644 milk; ducts, which connect lobules to repparttar 143645 nipples; fat and connective tissues; blood vessels; and lymph vessels. Most breast cancers begin in repparttar 143646 ducts. It may also begin in repparttar 143647 lobules then spread to other tissues.

When one feels a lump in repparttar 143648 breast, there is really no virtual worry because most lumps are benign which means that they are not cancerous. In fact, benign breast tumors are abnormal growths but do not really pose threats because they do not spread outside of repparttar 143649 breast. However, some benign lumps increase repparttar 143650 risk in having breast cancer.

Then there are lumps that are not really tumors at all which are often caused by fibrocystic changes -- cysts are fluid-filled sacs while fibrosis is repparttar 143651 formation of scar-like tissue. These changes can cause swelling of repparttar 143652 breasts resulting to being lumpy and sometimes a fluid discharge from repparttar 143653 nipples.

There are different types of breast cancer and knowing them will greatly help in assessing repparttar 143654 disease.

Carcinoma in situ is a term used for early stage of breast cancer where repparttar 143655 cancer cells are still confined to repparttar 143656 place where it started. In particular, repparttar 143657 cancer cells are confined in repparttar 143658 lobules or repparttar 143659 ducts, depending on where it started. The cancer cells have not gone into repparttar 143660 fatty tissues in repparttar 143661 breast nor spread to other organs of repparttar 143662 body.

Ductal carcinoma in situ is repparttar 143663 most common type of noninvasive breast cancer. Similar with Carcinoma in situ, repparttar 143664 cancer cells have spread through repparttar 143665 walls of repparttar 143666 duct into repparttar 143667 fatty tissue of repparttar 143668 breasts. Almost all women with breast cancer at this stage can be cured and repparttar 143669 best way to find is through repparttar 143670 use of mammogram.
