BREAST CANCER Types of Breast Cancer This is a pre-breast cancer stage in which there is abnormal growth of cells and it creates a passage for cancer to come later on in life.
 * [|DCIS – Ductal Carcinoma In Situ]
 * This is a different type of cancer. It is uncontrollable and does create a tumor but it does not spread outside the breast and cause danger and harm. This is the most easiest type of cancer.[| LCIS – Lobular Carcinoma In Situ]
 * [|IDC – Invasive Ductal Carcinoma]
 * This is the most common type of Breast Cancer. About 80% of all breast cancer patients have IDC. It starts in ordinary spots and spreads to new spots.
 * [|Less Common Subtypes of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma]
 * This is the same type as IDC but with less common areas and effects to the cells.
 * [|ILC – Invasive Lobular Carcinoma]
 * This is the second most common type of Breast Cancer. It invades important areas and spreads to less important areas creating a devestating cancer.
 * [|Inflammatory Breast Cancer]
 * This grows and spreads quickly and causes swelling and redness to the breasts. This a very uncommon type of cancer.
 * [|Male Breast Cancer]

Treatments **//__Surgery__//** Breast cancer can be taken care of by multiply treatments. One of the first line of defense agents this cancer is to do surgery. Surgery is determined by stage it is on, and what type of breast cancer it is. Lumpectomy is a surgery that a tumor and some infected tissue is removed. Mastectomy is a surgery that they remove a breast. There is also sentinel lymph node dissection, which is when they take part of the lymph nodes in the breast to see how far the cancer has spread if the biopsy shows that the cancer has spread outside the milk duct. Prophylactic Mastectomy is when they take one or both breast to lower the risk of getting breast cancer in high risk people. Prophylactic Ovary Removal is when they take out the ovaries and usually the fallopian tubes to lower the amount of estrogen in the body to make it harder for estrogen to stimulate breast cancer from developing. //__**Chemotherapy** __//Chemotherapy is treatment that goes through your blood stream.

It lowers the amount of hormone estrogen by blocking the action of estrogen. It is not effective agents hormone-receptor-negative. **//__Targeted Therapies__//** Targeted Therapies are treatments that target certain cancer cells. Herceptin is useful before and after surgery but only for HER2-posative breast cancer. Tykerb is a type of chemotherapy that is for saver cases of HER2-postive breast cancer. Avastin is a treatment for metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer for people who haven’t had chemo yet. This medicine is suppose to equal out the person phisically, mentally, and also emotionaly.
