Breast cancer is a serious disease that causes several women to die each year, being the most frequent cause of cancer death in women. It can affect men, but such cases are rare.
Breast cancer is a silent disease, which can hinder early diagnosis, and frequent observation of the breast is essential in order to verify changes. The appearance of nodules, changes in the skin and the elimination of fluid from the nipples can be signs of the disease.
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that affects the breast, leading to the formation of a tumor in that region. Not all breast cancer is the same, while some of them develop quickly, others grow slowly. It is important to make it clear that the presence of lumps in the breast does not necessarily indicate the disease, which must be confirmed after specific examinations.
