What is breast cancer? How is it detected?

Learn all about breast cancer with Dr. Ernesto Roberto Sánchez Forgach, a prominent mastologist and member of Top Doctors: https://www.topdoctors.mx/doctor/erne... There are two types of breast cancer: ductal carcinoma, which arises in the ducts that carry milk from the breast to the nipple, and lobular carcinoma, which occurs in the lobules responsible for producing milk. There are multiple methods for detecting breast cancer, such as MRI, ultrasound, biopsy, CT scan, or mammography. Breast cancer is usually asymptomatic. Therefore, it is important to consult a gynecologist to prescribe tests for early detection. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is important, as it can have a cure rate of almost 100% in early stages. There are factors associated with an increased risk of breast cancer: not having children, not having breastfed or having breastfed for less than 6 months, menopause, smoking, obesity, and having used hormonal contraceptives for more than 20 years.
