Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast. It can occur in both men and women, but it is far more common in women. The cancer usually starts in the milk-producing glands (lobules) or the tube-shaped ducts that carry milk from the lobules to the nipple. Breast cancer can also occur in the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast.

Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, and common methods of detection include mammograms, clinical breast exams, and self-exams. Symptoms may include a lump in the breast, changes in breast size or shape, nipple changes, and skin changes on the breast.

Treatment options vary and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these. The prognosis and success of treatment depend on factors such as the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis, the type of breast cancer, and individual health factors. Breast cancer awareness, regular screenings, and advancements in medical research contribute to improved outcomes for many individuals diagnosed with this disease.
