Types of Breast Cancer

  • Ductile Carcinoma
    Ductile carcinoma is cancer which begins in the ducts which carry milk from the bulbs which produce milk to the nipples. This is the most common type of breast cancer.

  • Lobular Carcinoma
    Lobular carcinoma is cancer which begins in the lobes or lobules which contain the bulbs which produce milk. Lobular carcinoma is more likely to develop in both breasts than other types of breast cancer.

  • Inflammatory Breast Cancer
    Inflammatory breast cancer is a relatively rare form of breast cancer in which the breast becomes red, swollen and warm to the touch.
