The breast is a gland that contains lactiferous ducts, lobes, fatty tissue and the lymph network of blood vessels. Cancers can occur in virtually any part of the breast. Is usually diagnosed after a woman in the affected area could feel a lump or bump. Cancerous tumors in the breast are firm, do not escape under the fingers and usually (but not always) are not painful. Many of the lumps in the breast do not originate from cancerous growths (often as a cyst or a fibroid mass), the final verdict must fetch a doctor for professional examinations. Bulge grows, or leaks under the fingers may be caused by proliferation of the cancer, but can be a normal due to fibrocystic changes during the menstrual cycle. To identify the point of origin need to be biopsied. Breast cancer can also occur bloody, clear or yellowish discharge from the nipple.
BREAST CANCER AND ITS TYPES
People think about breast cancer as a single disease sui generis, but there are different types of this disease. Some here are:
Cystic adenoid carcinoma, malignant cytosarkom, medullar carcinoma and tubular carcinoma. These and several other relatively uncommon type of breast cancer appears somewhat less aggressive than others.
Infiltrating ducal carcinoma. This is a cancer that arises in the vicinity of ducts, infiltrating breast tissue closest. Approximately 80 percent of all breast cancer cases attributable to this type.
Inflammatory carcinoma. For this type of cancer tumor development occurs near the ducts, as the tumor grows, it penetrates into the lymph and blood vessels. The skin grows and gets red and the breast becomes extremely soft and it looks like the infection. This type of cancer spreads very rapidly because of the rich blood supply and lymphatic cancer associated with inflammatory reactions.
Intraductal carcinoma. It is a localized type of cancer, where cancerous cells are rampant within the breast ducts. This type of cancer usually thinks of other tissues.
HERE IS THE RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION:

Detailed palpating the area between the nipple and the armpit, armpits, and also search the well. Are located in the armpit lymph nodes, which move freely and are soft to palpation and painless. Look for bumps that are hard and immobile. Cancer tumors are often found near the inner muscle or skin.
Lie on your back and repeat, point No. 2 in this position may be easier to find the hidden bumps.
