Types of Breast Cancer
Ductal carcinoma is the most common form of breast cancer. Tumors form in the cells of the
milk ducts, which convey milk to the nipples. Ductal carcinoma can either be invasive, with
the potential to spread, or non-invasive.
Lobular carcinoma occurs in the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands. Lobular
carcinoma can be invasive, with a tendency to spread, or non-invasive.
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer that affects the
dermal lymphatic system. Rather than forming a lump, IBC tumors grow in flat sheets that
cannot be felt in a breast exam.
Recurrence/Metastatic breast cancer means that the cancer has returned after being
undetected for a time. Recurrent cancer can occur in the remaining breast tissue, and also
at other sites such as the lungs, liver, bones or brain. Even though these tumors are in a new
location, they are still called breast cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer is a subset of breast cancers that are not driven by estrogen or
progesterone hormones. They also do not over express the HER-2/neu protein. Biologically,
they are very aggressive and can grow more rapidly that other types of breast cancer.
