Malignant Breast Tumors
Malignant Breast Tumors are not just one type, but different types, grades and different stages of growth.
Malignant cell is a cell that misbehaves, divide and multiply at a very fast rate, consumes so much energy and performs no function.
3 Types of primary breast malignant tumours could happen:
1-Lymphoma. Arises from lymph cells, usually more generalized and treated
medically not surgically.
2-Sarcoma. Arising from connective/support tissue, treated surgically but no
removal of lymph nodes and Chemotherapy only if there is spread outside
the breast.
3-Carcinoma. Arising from the glands and ducts. The main type, we will talkabout now in details.
CARCINOMA, generally falls into 2 main groups:
1-Non-invasive Breast Tumors.
2-Invasive Breast Tumors.

Is a local tumor that has no ability to
.spread to distant organs
+/-If diagnosed at this stage, almost complete cure is expected by surgery
.radiotherapy only
It has been diagnosed more and more lately thanks to screening and breast
.awareness campaigns
.If ignored, could change into the more aggressive Invasive Tumor

Is a tumor that may start as a local disease but has
the ability to spread to distant organs if not caught early enough.
Often needs surgical, radiological and Medical treatment.
The above highlights the necessity of screening, raising awareness and the
need for full assessment before any surgical or medical intervention.
