It is formed in either the ducts or lobules of the breast. Lobules are glands that produce milk and ducts are like a pathway that passes the milk from the glands to the nipple. Cancer can also grow in the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The cancer cells often attack other healthy breast tissue and move to the arms\u2019 lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are a major pathway that helps the cancer cells travel to other parts of the body.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast cancer awareness for symptoms and risk should be public knowledge, just like we know when someone has the flu. The more people will know about it the better the chances of detecting abnormalities or breast cancer in its early stages when breast cancer treatment treatment can be successful.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most important thing that women need to know about breast cancer is the risk factors.

In this, the cancer starts building in milk glands and stays in its original place, which is non-invasive.

These are further classified as:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stage 1A\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This stage signifies that the cancer in the breast starts spreading into its fatty tissue, but not outside of the breast. Its size is approx. 2cm or less.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stage 1B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If cancer cells are found in the lymph nodes near the breast, then it indicates that the cancer stage is 1B.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stage 2\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In stage 2 breast cancer, it grows and spreads to nearby lymph nodes.
