What is invasive carcinoma mammae and lobular carcinoma in situ?

What are the 2 types of breast cancer?

In general, the types of breast cancer are divided into 2, namely invasive and noninvasive or in-situ. Invasive breast cancer occurs when cancer cells spread and invade the surrounding tissue. Meanwhile, non-invasive breast cancer occurs when the cancer does not spread or rupture.

What is Non-Invasive Breast Cancer?

Non-invasive (Non-Malignant) Breast Cancer is a type of breast cancer that is not malignant, because the cells do not spread to other surrounding tissues. In-situ breast cancer is then divided into several types, namely: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ.

What is ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)?

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of breast cancer that starts in the tissue of the milk ducts (ducts). Ductal carcinoma in-situ is generally not life threatening and the chances of a cure are high. However, if treatment is carried out late, this breast cancer can turn malignant.

What is lobular carcinoma in situ?

Lobular carcinoma in situ is also known as lobular neoplasia. This type of breast cancer is not actually cancer, but looks like cancer cells that grow in the lobules of the breast (tissue that produces milk).

Is non-invasive breast cancer a malignant cancer?

Although it tends not to be malignant, non-invasive breast cancer also needs to be watched out for. Immediately consult a doctor if you find a lump or change in the breast, so early detection and treatment can be done.

What is Invasive Breast Cancer?

Invasive breast cancer (malignant cancer) is the opposite of non-invasive types of breast cancer, invasive breast cancer tends to be malignant, and can be deadly. Here are some types of invasive breast cancer: Invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma.

What is invasive ductal carcinoma?

Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer. This cancer starts from mengganasnya cells in the milk ducts, which then break through the walls of these ducts, and attack other nearby breast tissue. Not only that, cancer cells can also spread to other body tissues through the lymph system and bloodstream.

What is invasive lobular carcinoma?

Invasive lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that starts in the lobules of the breast (milk-producing tissue), which then invades the breast tissue and other organs around it.

What is included in the rare breast cancer?

Some examples of rare breast cancer include:
  • Inflammatory breast cancer
  • Paget's disease 
  • Phyllodes tumor 
  • Breast angiosarcoma 

What is Inflammatory Breast Cancer?

Inflammatory breast cancer is a type of breast cancer that occurs when the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin, and can cause the breasts to swell and turn red. This cancer tends to grow and spread rapidly, and the symptoms can even worsen within days or even hours.

What is Paget's Disease?

Paget's disease (breast nipple cancer) is a fairly rare type of breast cancer, which specifically affects the nipple and areola (the brown area around the nipple). The symptoms can be very similar to an eczema rash, causing blood or yellow discharge, accompanied by itching and burning.

What is Phyllodes Tumor? Phyllodes tumor, which is a rare breast tumor that develops in the connective tissue of the breast. Most of these tumors are classified as benign, but can also be malignant. What is breast angiosarcoma? Angiosarcoma of the breast is a very rare breast cancer. Breast angiosarcoma initially appears on the cells lining the blood vessels or lymph vessels in the breast, and attacks the breast tissue or skin. This type of breast cancer usually occurs as a result of radiation exposure to the breast. Is squamous cell carcinoma dangerous? The answer is, yes. If not treated immediately, the cancerous growth can get bigger and spread to other parts of the body, causing serious complications. What is invasive carcinoma mammae? This type of cancer occurs in 70-80% of breast cancer cases. Invasive lobular carcinoma. Is a cancer that grows in the lobules and can spread to the surrounding tissue. This cancer occurs in 10% of breast cancer cases. What is meant by metastasis? Metastasis is cancer that has spread from the cancerous body part (the main tumor) to other parts of the body. Cancer cells can separate from the tumor and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymph system (immune system).

What is Phyllodes Tumor?

Phyllodes tumor, which is a rare breast tumor that develops in the connective tissue of the breast. Most of these tumors are classified as benign, but can also be malignant. 

What is breast angiosarcoma?

Angiosarcoma of the breast is a very rare breast cancer. Breast angiosarcoma initially appears on the cells lining the blood vessels or lymph vessels in the breast, and attacks the breast tissue or skin. This type of breast cancer usually occurs as a result of radiation exposure to the breast. 

Is squamous cell carcinoma dangerous?

The answer is, yes. If not treated immediately, the cancerous growth can get bigger and spread to other parts of the body, causing serious complications. 

What is invasive carcinoma mammae?

This type of cancer occurs in 70-80% of breast cancer cases. Invasive lobular carcinoma. Is a cancer that grows in the lobules and can spread to the surrounding tissue. This cancer occurs in 10% of breast cancer cases. 

What is meant by metastasis?

Metastasis is cancer that has spread from the cancerous body part (the main tumor) to other parts of the body. Cancer cells can separate from the tumor and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymph system (immune system).
