Breast CancerBreast cancer affects both men and women, however, the percentage differs, and there is more number of women affected with breast cancer than men.
There are several different types of breast cancer, if detected in early stages breast cancer can be cured without having to do mastectomy. If the cancer has spread out of the lymph nodes then it might be necessary to conduct mastectomy.
However, the most aggressive breast cancer is inflammatory breast cancer, most of the times this occurs in younger people.
It becomes conspicuous only when it is advanced stage. This type of cancer is particularly dangerous because it does not present itself in mammography or ultrasound tests. It shows itself only with the infection like mastitis, the treatment for this type of cancer is chemotherapy, radiation or surgery.
