Some basic knowledge: the breast is primarily made up of glands that make milk and ducts that carry the milk from the glands to the nipple. Other than glands and ducts, breast tissue also has fat, tissue, and blood vessels. Breast cancer usually develops in the milk ducts, but can also develop in the cells of lobules and in tissues.
This occurs due to unregulated cell division - the cells continue to divide and the mitotic cycle is mutated. This can cause the cancerous virus to spread and grow in size, affecting a large portion of the breast.
A quite common yet deadly form of cancer that is killing many women today.
