What are the types of breast cancer?
There are many types of breast cancer but 3 are the most common:
-
Ductal carcinoma: This is the most common type of breast cancer, it starts in the cells of the ducts.
-
Lobural breast cancer: When cancer starts in the lobes or lobules (milk-producing glands), it is called lobular carcinoma and is more likely to be found in both breasts compared to other types.
-
Inflammatory breast cancer: Inflammatory breast cancer is a type of breast cancer in which the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. This causes the breast to look red and swollen.
