What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that forms in the cells of the breast. It usually starts in the milk ducts or lobules and can be invasive or non-invasive. Invasive breast cancer means the tumour has spread to surrounding tissue, while non-invasive, also known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is confined to the milk ducts. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it is far more common in women.
