About Breast Cancer
Breast cancer begins in the breast tissue, which is comprised of glands used for milk production (called lobules) and ducts that connect these lobules to the nipple. The remainder of the breast is made up of fatty, connective and lymphatic tissue. Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women.
