Breast cancer, also called breast carcinoma in medical jargon, is the most common form of cancer in women. After menopause, the risk of developing breast cancer increases. Younger women may also be affected. Screening is important because the chances of curing breast cancer are significantly better at an early stage of the disease.
What is breast cancer?
It is a malignant tumor that develops at the expense of cells of the mammary ducts. The tumor thus proliferates abnormally and evades the body's regulatory mechanism, under hormonal influence in particular.
