Symptoms & Diagnosis Treatment
BREST CANCER
What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is an uncon-
trolled growth of breast cells.
To better understand breast
cancer, it helps to understand
how any cancer can develop.
Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal
changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the
growth of cells and keeping them healthy. The
genes are in each cell’s nucleus, which acts as the
“control room” of each cell. Normally, the cells in
our bodies replace themselves through an orderly
process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over
as old ones die out. But over time, mutations can
“turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a
cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep di-
viding without control or order, producing more
cells just like it and forming a tumor.
A tumor can be benign (not dangerous to health) or
malignant (has the potential to be dangerous). Be-
nign tumors are not considered cancerous: their
cells are close to normal in appearance, they grow
slowly, and they do not invade nearby tissues or
spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors
are cancerous. Left unchecked, malignant cells
eventually can spread beyond the original tumor to
other parts of the body.
The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant
tumor that has developed from cells in the breast.
Usually breast cancer either begins in the cells of
the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or
the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the
lobules to the nipple. Less commonly, breast cancer
can begin in the stromal tissues, which include the fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast.
Over time, cancer cells can invade nearby healthy
breast tissue and make their way into the underarm
lymph nodes, small organs that filter out foreign
substances in the body. If cancer cells get into the
lymph nodes, they then have a pathway into other
parts of the body. The breast cancer’s stage refers
to how far the cancer cells have spread beyond the
original tumor (see Stages of Breast Cancer table
more information).
Breast cancer is always caused by a genetic abnor-
mality (a “mistake” in the genetic material). How-
ever, only 5-10% of cancers are due to an abnormal-
ity inherited from your mother or father. About
90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormali-
ties that happen as a result of the aging process and
the “wear and tear” of life in general.
While there are steps every person can take to help
the body stay as healthy as possible (such as eating
a balanced diet, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and
exercising regularly), breast cancer is never any-
one's fault. Feeling guilty, or telling yourself that
breast cancer happened because of something you
or anyone else did, is not productive.
Breast cancer symptoms vary widely
— from lumps to swelling to skin
changes — and many breast cancers
have no obvious symptoms at all.
Symptoms that are similar to those of
breast cancer may be the result of non-
cancerous conditions like infection or a
cyst. BREAST SELF EXAM should be
part of your monthly health care rou-
tine, and you should visit your doctor if
you experience breast changes. If
you're over 40 or at a high risk for the
disease, you should also have an annual
mammaogram and physical exam by a
doctor. The earlier breast cancer is
found and diagnosed, the better your
chances of beating it.
The actual process of diagnosis can
take weeks and involve many different
kinds of tests. Waiting for results can
feel like a lifetime. The uncertainty
stinks. But once you understand your
own unique “big picture,” you can
make better decisions. You and your
doctors can formulate a treatment
plan tailored just for you.
In the following pages of the Symp-
toms and Diagnosis section, you can
learn about:UNDERSTANDING
BREAST CANCER How breast cancer
happens, how it progresses, the stages,
and a look at risk factors screening and
testing The tests used for screening, diagnosis,
and monitoring, including mammo-
grams, ultrasound, MRI, CAT scans,
PET scans, and more.TYPES OF
BREAST CANCER
The different types of breast cancer,
including ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma
(IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma
(ILC), inflammatory breast cancer,
male breast cancer, recurrent breast
cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and
more. Your DIAGNOSIS
The characteristics of the cancer that
might affect your treatment plan, in-
cluding size, stage, lymph node status,
hormone receptor status, and more.
YOUR PATHOLOGY REPORT
A detailed, step-by-step explanation of
what your pathology report says and
how this might affect your treatment
options.
In recent years, there's been an ex-
plosion of life-saving treatment advances against
breast cancer, bringing new hope and excitement.
Instead of only one or two options, today there's
an overwhelming menu of treatment choices that
fight the complex mix of cells in each individual
cancer. The decisions — surgery, then perhaps
radiation, hormonal (anti-estrogen) therapy,
and/or chemotherapy — can feel overwhelming.
Breastcancer.org can help you understand your
CANCER STAGE and appropriate options, so
you and your doctors can arrive at the best treat-
ment plan for YOU.
In the following pages of the Treatment and
Side Effects section, you can learn about:
