Most of the time there are no early signs of breast cancer and it is discovered in a mammogram, but new lumps and masses can be a common sign. Some phenotypes that can be seen or felt when you have breast cancer is thickening or lump in the breast, changing the appearance of the niple, niple discharge or pain, swelling of the breast, armpit, or collarbone, changes in the skin, redness, and more.

If breast cancer spreads, cancerous cells can not only invade the breast but can invade many areas of the body most often the bones, liver, lungs, or brain.

Hereditary breast cancer is caused by a mutant gene passed from a parent to their children and is rare. This type of breast cancer ranges from 5 to 10 percent and around 27 percent for all breast cancer. Hereditary breast cancer usually develops earlier in life than other types.

The first cause that was found for breast cancer was associated with BRCA1 on the 17th chromosome and around a year later BRCA2 was discovered on chromosome 13. When someone carries a mutated form of either BRCA1 or BRCA2, they have a greater risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer at some point. Children of parents with a BRCA2 or BRCA1 mutation have a 50 percent of inheriting that gene mutation too. Research in 1995 and 1996 concluded that  Ashkenazi Jews are 10 times more likely to have mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA genes than the rest of the population. They are a little of 13 times more likely to have this mutation than the rest of the population. They learned from their research that 3 specific mutations in their genes made up 90 percent of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants within this religious group. But, only seven percent of breast cancers in this group of women are caused by alterations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Not all hereditary breast cancers are caused by BRCA1 and BRCA2 and researchers have discovered that at least half of heredity is not linked with these genes. They believe that the remaining cases of heredity are not one gene but many genes that are making up little parts of the breast cancers.

One out of every eight American women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. Every year around 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States and 2,300 new cases are diagnosed in men. Breast cancer is overall the most common cancer in American women and is also the second most common cause of death in women, after lung cancer. The most common type of breast cancer is a cancer of the ducts known as the ductal carcinoma that accounts for over 80 percent of all breast cancers.

Medical Treatment Options For Breast Cancer

# data[].attributes.body
The treatment options for breast cancer depends on the stage of cancer, but it can consist of chemotherapy, radiation, and even surgery. Some of the surgeries that can be performed to fight off the cancer are mammaplasty, tissue expansion, lymph node dissection, lumpectomy, or mastectomy. Medical procedures that can be done to fight off the cancer are teletherapy and radiation therapy. And finally, some medications that can help when dealing with breast cancer are estrogen modulators, chemotherapy, hormone-based chemotherapy, and bone health.
