The human body is made up of uncountable of living cells. Normal body cells divide, grow and even dies in an orderly fashion.
During the early years of a human`s life, normal cells divide faster to allow the individual to grow. After the person becomes an adult, most cells divide only to replace dying cells or even to repair injuries.What is Breast Cancer?

Sometimes it begins in the cells of the lobules and in other tissues in the breast. Ductal carcinoma in situ is a condition in which abnormal cells in the body are found in the lining of the ducts and they haven`t spread outside the duct.

Breast is made up of glands called lobules that can make milk and thin tubes called ducts that carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple. The tissue also contains lymph nodes, blood vessels, fat and connective tissue.The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, it begins in the cells of the ducts. Sometimes it begins in the cells of the lobules and in other tissues in the breast.Breast cancer that spreads from where it began in the ducts or lobules to surrounding tissue is called invasive breast cancer. In inflammatory breast cancer, the breast may look red and swollen and feels warm because the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin.Also Read Stillness II
