Breast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue.  In those with distant spread of the disease, there may be bone pain, swollen lymph nodes, shortness of breath, or yellow skin. Breast cancer most commonly develops in cells from the lining of milk ducts and the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Worldwide, breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in women, accounting for 25% of all cases. The diagnosis of breast cancer is confirmed by taking a biopsy of the concerning lump. A malignant tumor can spread to other parts of the body. A breast cancer that starts off in the lobules is known as lobular carcinoma, while one that develops from the ducts is called ductal carcinoma.
