    A human body is made up of numerous of tiny cells. Usually these cells grow in an orderly manner and it is the mechanism of the body that the new cells would be resonated when it is only required. Cancer is the state when a huge number of cells begin to grow at a faster pace and get multiplied uncontrollably without the need of the body. A woman's breast is made up of fat, tiny glands called as lobules (that produce milk) and connective tissues. The milk is delivered to the nipple through the tiny tubes known a duct, and this is how a woman breastfeeds. Now when the unwanted cells start growing and multiplying in the breast of the woman it is known as breast cancer. Breast cancer can happen to any of the parts of the breast. However, there are two major types of breast cancer; one is Non-Invasive breast cancer that is found in the ducts of the breast and does not spread out of the breast. This cancer rarely shows any lump. Whereas the second type of breast cancer is Invasive Ductal breast cancer that is found in the Cells that line up the ducts of the breast. 80% of the breast cancers found on this type. There is another type of breast cancer as well known as Lobular breast cancer that is found in the milk producing lobules. Breast cancer can also spread through the lymph nodes of the breast to the other parts of the body that is known as Metastatic breast cancer.
