    Glossary Breast Cancer

    malignancy originating in breast tissue cells

    Breast cancer, also known as breast carcinoma, is a type of malignancy that originates in the cells of the breast tissue. It can develop in the ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma) and may spread to other parts of the body if not detected and treated early. Early detection through screening methods like mammograms significantly improves the prognosis.
