Breast cancer is the second most common (breast) cancer in the world. Every three minutes a woman is diagnosed: one in eight women will have breast cancer (Walgreens, 2011; Chen, 2010). “I have to admit that, like many women, I always knew there was a possibility. But like so many women, I never thought it would be me. I never thought I'd hear those devastating words: "You have breast cancer." “ - Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Democratic Representative of Florida (2011). Mutations turn genes on and off, triggering diseases; all women have a risk of developing breast cancer (Understand; Breast). The diseased cells divide and form a tumor. The tumor can be benign and not dangerous. Malignant tumors can become potentially dangerous (Understand). Cancer becomes invasive when it spreads to other areas of the breast. Cancer that has not invaded other breast tissue remains noninvasive; noninvasive cancer can become invasive if left untreated (Chen, 2010). If cancer cells enter the lymph nodes, they can enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body (Understanding; Rosen, 2011). Ductal carcinoma cancer begins in the breast milk ducts (Chen, 2010). The milk ducts drain milk from the lobules to the nipple: 50-75% of breast cancers start in the ducts (Understanding; Facts). Lobular carcinoma develops in the milk-producing lobules: 10-15% of breast cancers begin in the lobules (Chen, 2010; Facts). Breast cancer that starts in another area is rare (Chen, 2010). Rarely, a phyllodes tumor develops in the stroma or connective tissue of the breast (Rosen, 2011). Inflammatory breast cancer accounts for 1% to 3% of breast cancers. The skin of the breast appears red and warm, without lumps: due to blockage of tumor cells... half of the paper... green. (2011, September 28). Behind the scenes of Lifetime's FIVE [video file].
