Breast cancer is increasing at an alarming rate across the globe. Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. But at the same time, it is also important to learn what type of breast cancer you actually have. Breast cancer can begin in any area of the breast such as ducts, the lobules, or in some cases, the tissue in between. There are many types of breast cancer, however, the most common types are ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, and invasive lobular carcinoma.
At Al Zahara hospital in Dubai, the doctors provide suitable breast cancer treatment to make the patient fully recover and live her life peacefully. The breast cancer treatment hospitals in Dubai use the following terms to describe the extent of cancer: In situ – means the breast cancers that do not spread. Other is the Invasive or infiltrating cancers – which spreads into the surrounding breast tissue.
Ductal Carcinoma In Situ – This non-invasive breast cancer starts inside the milk-producing glands of the breast and does not spread beyond the milk duct into any normal surrounding breast tissue.
Invasive Breast Cancer – In this type of cancer, the cancer cells spread into surrounding breast tissue. The most common invasive breast cancer is called invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer – This type of invasive breast cancer is not so common. It accounts for only 1% to 5% of all breast cancers.
Paget disease of the nipple – Paget disease of the nipple begins in the breast ducts and spread to the skin of the nipple and then to the areola. Such type of problem is rare and accounts for only about 1-3% of all cases of breast cancer.
Phyllodes Tumor – Phyllodes tumor is a very rare type of breast cancer. Unlike carcinomas that develop in the ducts and lobules, they develop in the connective tissue of the breast. Most are benign, but there are others that are malignant (cancer).
Metastatic Breast Cancer – Also known as Stage 4, metastatic breast cancer is the one that has spread to other parts of the body namely liver, bones, brain and lungs. But this does not mean you’ll become hopeless. Even at this stage of breast cancer, many people continue to live a productive and healthy life for years to come.
Angiosarcoma – Sarcomas of the breast accounts for 1% of all types of breast cancers. They begin developing in cells that line blood vessels or lymph vessels. It can also include the breast tissue or the skin of the breast.
