Condition: Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is carcinoma of the breast tissues, usually originating from the inner lining of the milk ducts or the lobules that supply the milk. It is one of the most common types of non-skin cancers, second after lung cancer. Breast cancer is typically initially discovered as a lump in the breast tissue, which, if detected early enough, may be potentially curable. Most sufferers of breast cancer detected their illness with a lump, which is why mammograms and monthly self-performed breast exams are very important.
