Breast Cancer
What is Breast Cancer?
How Tumors
Form
The body is made up of many types of cells. Normally, cells grow,
divide and produce more cells as needed to keep the body healthy.
Sometimes, however, the process goes wrong. Cells become abnormal
and form more cells in an uncontrolled way. These extra cells form
a mass of tissue, called a growth or tumor. Tumors can be benign,
which means not cancerous, or malignant, which means cancerous.
Breast cancer occurs when malignant tumors form in the breast
tissue.
