What is breast cancer? Understanding the disease

Breast cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the breast. These cancer cells can invade surrounding tissues and, in some cases, spread to other parts of the body through blood or lymphatic vessels.

The disease often develops slowly over months or years, which allows early detection and increases the chances of successful treatment. Understanding breast cancer is the first step in managing it effectively.

Causes and risk factors: Who is more likely to develop breast cancer?

Understanding what increases your risk can help you take preventive steps and recognize early signs. While having risk factors does not guarantee breast cancer, it highlights the importance of regular screening and consultation.

TypeRisk factorsNotes / Tips
Non-modifiableAge (most cases after 50),Family history (mother, sister, daughter),BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutations.Consider genetic counseling if you have a strong family history.
ModifiableOverweight/obesity after menopause, Sedentary lifestyle, Hormone replacement therapy, Alcohol consumption, Long-term use of birth control pills, Exposure to certain chemicals.Lifestyle changes can help reduce risk. Regular check-ups are recommended.

It is important to understand that having one or more risk factors does not mean you will definitely develop breast cancer. Conversely, women without any known risk factors can still be diagnosed with the disease. This is why regular screenings, self-examinations, and timely consultations with oncology specialists are essential for everyone, regardless of their risk profile.

Different types of breast cancer and their characteristics

Breast cancer is not a single disease. It comes in several forms, each requiring a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. Knowing the type of breast cancer is essential, as it guides the medical team in choosing the most effective therapy.

Main types

Main types of breast cancer include:

TypeDescriptionkey notes
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)A non-invasive tumor affecting the milk ducts.Highly treatable when detected early.
Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC)The most common type, starting in the ducts and spreading into surrounding breast tissue.Represents about 80% of all breast cancers.
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)Not a true cancer, but abnormal cells in breast lobules.Increases future cancer risk and requires close monitoring.
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC)Begins in the lobules (milk glands) and spreads into nearby tissues.Less common but often harder to detect on imaging.
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)A rare and aggressive type causing redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast.Requires immediate and intensive treatment.

Why classification matters?

Identifying the exact type of breast cancer helps oncologists design a personalized treatment plan. For example, early-stage DCIS may be treated with surgery and radiation, while IBC requires a multimodal approach combining chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and surgery.

Breast cancer symptoms: What to watch for?

Recognizing the early warning signs of breast cancer is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective treatment. While some symptoms may seem harmless at first, paying attention to subtle changes in your breasts can make a real difference.

Common symptoms of breast cancer include:

Not every lump or change means cancer, but only a medical examination can confirm the cause.

Can men get breast cancer?

Although breast cancer is most commonly associated with women, it can also affect men. Male breast cancer is rare, representing about 1% of all breast cancers, but it is often diagnosed at a later stage because it is not usually suspected. Most cases occur in men over 60, and the symptoms are very similar to those seen in women, such as a painful lump, nipple retraction, or unusual discharge.

Because of delayed diagnosis, tumors in men are often larger and more advanced when discovered, making treatment more complex. Raising awareness and encouraging men to seek medical advice quickly if they notice breast changes can greatly improve outcomes.

How to detect breast tumors early?

Early detection plays a major role in improving survival rates and treatment outcomes for breast cancer. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the greater the chances of receiving less invasive and more effective treatment.

Methods of early detection include:

Women themselves first detect most breast cancers. That's why awareness and regular check-ups are essential. Even if you have no symptoms, routine screening can save lives by detecting tumors before they have a chance to spread.

Frequently asked questions

Surgery that retains most of the mammary tissue is called lumpectomy or breast-conserving surgery. It is often followed by radiotherapy.

The duration of breast cancer treatment depends on the protocol chosen and the stage of the disease. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy lasts on average between 3 and 6 months, while hormone therapy or targeted therapy can last several years to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Chemotherapy can cause temporary hair loss, but this is not always the case. In most cases, hair gradually grows back a few months after the end of treatment.

After breast cancer treatment, regular medical follow-up is necessary to detect any recurrence and monitor side effects. This includes examinations, mammograms, and sometimes blood tests, depending on the doctor's recommendation.
