Breast Cancer

 

Breast cancer, is a type of cancer that starts as a growth of cells in breast tissue. There are several types of breast cancer, including angiosarcoma, ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS), inflammatory breast cancer, invasive lobular carcinoma, lobular carcinoma in situ(LCIS), male breast cancer, Paget's disease of the breast, and recurrent breast cancer. I am writing this as I looked at an article about a breast cancer awareness in newspaper recently. The symptoms, or signs of breast cancer include a breast lump or thickened area of skin that feels diverse from the surrounding tissue, a nipple that looks flattened or turns inwards, changes in the color of the breast skin(In people with white skin, the breast skin may look pink or red. For people with brown or black skin, the breast skin may look darker than the other skin on the chest or it may look red or purple), change in the size, shape, or appearance of a breast, changes to the skin over the breast, such as skin that looks dimpled or looks like an orange peel, and, peeling, scaling, crusting or flaking of the skin on the breast. To prevent breast cancer, a healthy lifestyle is needed. Consult doctors for check-up frequently. Thank you.
