Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common widely-diagnosed cancer among women, especially over the age of 45. It may occur in men as well, but quite rarely. Breast cancer occurs as a result of abnormal mutations in genes and can either be ductal carcinoma (forming in milk ducts) or lobular carcinoma (forming in glands).

Exclusively forming in a breast with a lump or thickened tissue, some cancer types may take years to spread and reach to other body parts as well. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle with a regular medical examination of breasts is vital for individuals who want to stay healthy.
