What is breast cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases that occur from the action of cells that act outside the original mold. Did you know that, every organ in our body is formed of various types of cells? these cells will create a division of the national needs and produced by the body of the individual.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in Malaysia. About one in 19 women in this country are at risk, compared to one in eight in Europe and the United States. Breast cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that starts from cells of the breast.The disease occurs mostly in women, but men can get breast cancer too. The information here refers only to breast cancer in women.

Woman's breast is made up of glands that make breast milk (lobules), ducts (small tubes that carry milk from the lobules to the nipple), fatty and connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymph (pronounced limf) vessels. Most breast cancers begin in the cells that line the ducts (ductal cancer), some begin in the lobules (lobular cancer), and the rest in other tissues.

If the rate of the cell exceeds for the needs, it will generate surplus tissue. The excesses of tissues is also known as smallpox. This growth can be divided into two types, namely smallpox benign (not tumors cancer) and malignan (type of tumor cancer). The first type of growth which is a benign growth does not endanger the lives for patient. Almost 80 percent of the breast smallpox is a person who experienced this type of smallpox.

Breast cancer is the growth that occurred malignan of the action of cells that originated from the breast. It was developed through a process of division that exceed the needs of the organ and then attack the organs and tissues. Cells cancer are also able to free himself from the origin of smallpox while entering the channel and the blood system overload (lymphatic system). This is also how the disease and methods of breast cancer attacked parts of other patient organs. The process of contagion is also known as Metastasis.
