What is Breast Cancer ?

Breast cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the breast tissue, typically forming a malignant tumor. While it is most commonly diagnosed in women, it can also occur in men. These cancers often begin in the milk-producing ducts (invasive ductal carcinoma) or the glands that produce milk (invasive lobular carcinoma). Over time, cancer cells can invade surrounding healthy tissue and potentially spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, bones, lungs, or liver, through the lymphatic system or bloodstream.

What is the diagnostic process for Breast Cancer ?

  • The diagnostic process for breast cancer typically begins after a suspicious finding on a screening mammogram or upon noticing a symptom like a lump. The key steps involve:
  • Diagnostic Imaging: A targeted mammogram and often a breast ultrasound are used to get detailed images of the concerning area.
  • Biopsy: If the imaging is suspicious, a biopsy is performed. This is the only definitive way to diagnose cancer. A small sample of tissue is removed from the breast and analyzed by a pathologist under a microscope.
  • The biopsy result confirms if cancer is present and determines its type, grade, and other important characteristics like hormone receptor status, which are all critical for planning treatment.
