Breast Cancer: Know about it
It is one the cancer which develops in the breast and it occurs when the growth of cells is out of control. These cancerous cells generally form a tumour, which feels like a lump and is visible on the x-ray. Although it develops almost entirely in females, male patients can have this type of cancer too, says Dr. Das, breast cancer doctor in Kolkata.
The disease may start developing anywhere in the breast:
● It usually starts in the ducts, which bring milk to the nipple (called ductal cancer)
● Some may occur in the glands, which produce breast milk (called lobular cancers)
● A few less common breast cancers, which are known as angiosarcoma and phyllodes tumour

One of the key factors in successfully combating it is early detection. Regular self-examination and screening mammograms are crucial in identifying any abnormalities or potential signs of breast cancer.
Dr. Das employs state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as digital mammography, ultrasound, and MRI to evaluate breast tissue and identify any suspicious lesions or tumors. Treatment options for it may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy.
