Some patients have different options for their treatment. Very common, Chemotherapy can be used to shrink the cancer.  Chemotherapy also can come in a pill for certain cancers. Radiation therapy is also very common. It uses high-energy particles or waves, such as x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to destroy or damage cancer cells. Some patients also get radiation after chemotherapy. In some cases, surgery can be used to take out the cancer if it has not spread to other organs. There is really no cure for breast cancer but there is targeted therapy drugs for genes. Lynparza is now being used to treat women with BRCA mutations who have metastatic, HER2-negative breast cancer and have had chemotherapy.

There are many cases of celebrities diagnosed with breast caner. For example, Robin Roberts, Carly Simon, Cynthia Nixon, Christina Applegate, and Cheryl Crow were all diagnosed.

The first mentioned cancer ever recorded was breast cancer in Ancient Egypt around 1600 BC. The Edwin Smith Papyrus,  found in 1860 in an Egyptian tomb, had described eight cases of tumors or ulcers of the breast.

Breast cancer is a cancer that forms in the cells in the breasts. It commonly occurs in women but rarely in men.

There are many different types of breast cancer, but 3 main types. The most common kind is Ductal Carcinoma. Other common types include Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and Invasive Lobular Carcinoma.

Symptoms can include swelling,redness,itchiness, and dimpling. After diagnosis, the victim may be overwhelmed with stress. There can be a large amount of depression,anxiety, and fear. Emotional issues can arise after treatment too. The disease is life changing and mentally draining to the victim.

Obviously, women are more likely to develop this disease. White woman are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than African American, Hispanic, and Asian women, but African American women are more likely to develop more aggressive, more advanced-stages of breast cancer.

Depending on the stage, it may be life threatening. Non-invasive and early stages of invasive cancer have a less threatening case. Higher stages of invasive cancer can be life threatening. Breast cancer is not invariably fatal.

Although most cases of breast cancer are not caused by inherited genes, but if it is, it depends on the gene involved. It involves the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene. BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes gives instructions for proteins to act as a tumor suppressor. In this case, these genes are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

Breast cancer can be invasive or non-invasive depending on the case. It starts when cells in the breast grow out of control and can form tumors or lumps.

Physical limitations can have an enormous effect on the victim. During treatment, the patient may be very weak and limited to physical activity. If a survivor has functional limitations, their survival rate can drop because they are more likely to have poorer health. Their motion, strength , ability to lift items heavier than 10 pounds, and walk up and down a flight a stairs may be affected after treatment.

Externally, changes can be seen such as swelling or change of shape. Internally, the disease can be seen through a mammogram and may look like a lump. Biochemically, high levels of estrogen and progesterone can be a sign of breast cancer. Victims who have already had the disease are more likely to get it again

Breast cancer can be detected up to 2 years before a lump can be felt through a mammogram. You can also get ultrasounds and possibly an MRI. There is a way to detect if you have the harmful genes but cannot tell you if you will get cancer.The BRCA gene test is a blood test that uses DNA analysis to identify harmful mutations) in either one of the two breast cancer susceptibility genes — BRCA1 and BRCA2. If you get a positive test, it means you are more likely to get cancer.
