Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is indeed a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that presents with distinct characteristics. It is often misdiagnosed initially due to its similarity to other conditions like infections. Unlike typical breast cancers, IBC doesn't usually present as a lump. Instead, it manifests with rapid onset symptoms including:

  Redness and Warmth: The affected breast may appear r red, swollen, and feel warm to the touch. This is due to the buildup of cancer cells blocking lymph vessels, leading to inflammation. Swelling: The breast can become noticeably larger, firmer, and more tender compared to the other breast. This swelling occurs because of the cancer cells obstructing the lymphatic vessels, causing fluid retention. Peau d'Orange: The skin of the breast may develop a texture resembling an orange peel, with dimpling or ridges caused by the buildup of cancer cells in the lymphatic vessels beneath the skin. Pain: The affected breast might be painful, and this pain is usually not relieved by common pain medications. Rapid Progression: IBC tends to progress more quickly than other types of breast cancer, spreading to nearby lymph nodes and other parts of the body at an accelerated rate. Due to the aggressive nature of IBC, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. It's importa...

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS): Döş kanalının astarında anormal hüceyrələrin aşkar edildiyi, lakin yaxınlıqdakı toxumalara yayılmadığı bir qeyri-invaziv döş xərçəngi növü.

  Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), süt kanallarının iç yüzeyinde anormal hücrelerin bulunduğu ancak çevre dokulara yayılmadığı bir tür pre-invaziv meme kanseridir. "In situ" terimi, Latince kökenli olup "yerinde" anlamına gelir ve kanser hücrelerinin bulunduğu bölgeyi sınırlar. Bununla DCIS , genellikle mamografiler sırasında saptanır ve çoğu durumda belirli semptomlara yol açmaz. Bununla birlikte, ilerleyen safhalarda invaziv meme kanserine dönüşebilme potansiyeline sahiptir. Bu nedenle, erken teşhis ve tedavi önemlidir. DCIS teşhisi konduğunda, tedavi yaklaşımı genellikle şunları içerebilir: Cerrahi Girişimler : DCIS vakalarının çoğunda cerrahi müdahale gereklidir. Bu, genellikle lumpektomi olarak adlandırılan bir işlemi içerebilir. Lumpektomi, sadece anormal hücreleri içeren bölgenin çıkarılması anlamına gelir. Radyoterapi : Lumpektomi sonrası radyoterapi önerilebilir . Bu, meme dokusundaki olası kanser hücrelerinin yok edilmesine yardımcı olabilir....

Breast Cancer: The most prevalent form of breast pathology, involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the breast tissue. There are various types of breast cancer, such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), and others.

You're correct in your description of breast cancer. It is indeed the most prevalent form of breast pathology and involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the breast tissue. Here's a bit more detail about the types you mentioned: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS): DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer where abnormal cells are found in the lining of a breast duct but have not spread outside the duct to invade the surrounding tissue. It is often detected through mammograms and is considered an early-stage cancer. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC): This is the most common type of breast cancer . IDC begins in the milk ducts of the breast and then invades nearby tissues in the breast. It can also spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system and bloodstream. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC): ILC begins in the lobules (the milk-producing glands) of the breast and can then spread to nearby tissues and other parts of the body. It's less c...
