     Types of breast cancer:  
    • There are different types of breast cancer, but some of them are quite rare. In some cases, a breast tumor, or a combination of these species have a combination of in situ and invasive cancer. Ductal carcinoma in situ
       
    • Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS, also known as intraductal carcinoma) is the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer. DCIS means the cancer cells in the ducts but have not spread through the walls of the ducts into the surrounding breast tissue.
    • About 1 in 5 new breast cancer cases will be DCIS. Nearly all women diagnosed at this early stage of breast cancer can be cured. A mammogram is often the best way to find DCIS early.
      If DCIS is diagnosed, the pathologist (a doctor specializing in diagnosing disease from tissue samples) to find areas with dead or dying cancer cells, called tumor necrosis within the tissue sample. If necrosis is present, the tumor is probably more aggressive. Comedocarcinoma The term is often used to describe DCIS with necrosis. Lobular carcinoma in situ
       
    • Most breast cancer specialists think that LCIS itself does not become an invasive cancer very often, but women with this disorder have a higher risk of developing an invasive breast cancer in the same breast or in the other breast. For this reason, women with LCIS make sure they have regular mammograms and doctor visits. Invasive (or infiltrating) ductal carcinoma .  
     
    • This is the most common form of breast cancer. Invasive (or infiltrating) ductal carcinoma (IDC) starts in a milk passage (channel) of the breast, breaks through the wall of the tube, and grows in the fatty tissue of the breast. At this point it may be able to (metastasize) to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system and bloodstream. About 8 out of 10 invasive ductal breast cancer infiltrating carcinomas. Invasive (or infiltrating) lobular carcinoma 
    •  Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) begins in the milk-producing glands (lobules). Like IDC, the (metastasize) to other parts of the body. About 1 in 10 invasive breast cancer is an ILC. Invasive lobular carcinoma may be difficult to detect by mammogram than invasive ductal carcinoma.
