Breast cancer is an abnormal growth of cancer cells in the breasts. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects everyone. Though it may occur both in men and women, it is highly common in women.

Breast cancer tumours can usually be seen on an X-ray or experienced as a lump.

It is important to understand that most breast cancers remain benign and not cancerous. They are not life-threatening, but some types of benign lumps can also manifest as breast cancer. If you have any lump or growth on your breath that needs evaluation, make sure to consult your healthcare professional or doctor. Only after the diagnostic tests, you learn whether the breast lumps are cancerous or noncancerous.
