What is breast cancer?
Collections of cells that are growing abnormally or without control are called tumors. Tumors that do not have the ability to spread throughout the body may be referred to as “benign” and are not thought of as cancerous. Tumors that have the ability to grow into other tissues or spread to distant parts of the body are referred to as “malignant.” Malignant tumors within the breast are called “breast cancer”. Theoretically, any of the types of tissue in the breast can form a cancer, cancer cells are most likely to develop from either the ducts or the glands. These tumors may be referred to as “invasive ductal carcinoma” (cancer cells developing from ducts), or “invasive lobular carcinoma” (cancer cells developing from lobes).

Sometimes, precancerous cells may be found within breast tissue, and are referred to as ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in-situ (LCIS). DCIS and LCIS are diseases in which cancerous cells are present within breast tissue, but are not able to spread or invade other tissues. DCIS represents about 20% of all breast cancers. Because DCIS cells may become capable of invading breast tissue, treatment for DCIS is usually recommended. In contrast, treatment is usually not needed for LCIS.
This one of the most common among women around the world and it is one of the most preventable. Women should undergo mamograms to detect any abnormality. However by far the best way to detect breast cancer is by monthly self breast examination, because they are your breast, you would know if there is anything wrong with it. However would you let these people do your breast examination?

i usually do my own monthly self examinations. Since I also do a yearly pap smear, I also ask the doctor to examine my breasts. So far so good :)

oh yah, those who are sexually active are more likely to get the HPV virus which causes cervical cancer. so its a wise choice for you to do your pap smear :D

if the man was born with big breast he has the same chance of getting cancer of flat chested guys. a fat ass is actually no so bad. medically its better to have a fat ass than big belly because the fat in you ass does no harm but the belly or abnominal fat leads to many heart disease.
