后skin cancer, breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among U.S. women, affecting one in eight women who live to the age of 80. An estimated 287,850 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in U.S. women in 2022, according to the American Cancer Society. Breast cancer accounts for 15 percent of all new cancer diagnoses and 7 percent of all cancer deaths each year.
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America®（CTCA），我们的专家们有快速的培训和专业知识诊断乳腺癌and tailor a treatment plan to each patient’s unique needs. Our oncologists have experience with早期和复杂的乳腺癌, includingtriple-negative和炎症。CTCA®patients have access to tools such as advanced genomic testing and a wide range of breast cancer treatments, including breast-conserving surgery, immunotherapy and clinical trials. Breast cancer is such an important focus at CTCA that each of our hospitals has a Breast Cancer Center dedicated to treating patients with all stages of this complex disease.
This overview will cover the basic facts about breast cancer, including:

Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast mutate and grow out of control, forming a tumor. Exactly what causes breast cells to mutate isn’t known, but certain factors can increase the risk of this happening. Aging and genetics are the biggest contributors to a woman’s breast cancer risk.
Other factors that may increase a woman’s risk for developing breast cancer include:
The risk for developing breast cancer increases with age. According to the National Cancer Institute:
Women with a family history of breast cancer may be at a higher risk for developing the disease. For example:
Other factors that may increase a woman’s risk for developing breast cancer include:
Race and ethnicity may also factor into a woman’s risk of developing, as well as the risk of dying, from breast cancer.
乳腺癌也发生在男性中，但非常稀有的男性乳腺癌占所有诊断的1％。根据美国癌症协会，2022年，大约2,710名美国男性将被诊断为乳腺癌。
“我的经验一直是赋予权力。我是一步之级决策过程的一部分。我的护理团队正是 - 一个关怀人群 - 我和患者和员工一起制作了终身朋友。我的自然疗法提供者和员工我的营养师帮助我管理和防止副作用，教我如何购买和烹饪更健康的食物，并推荐的补充剂在治疗期间和后才能帮助我的康复。“
乳腺的感觉或位置的肿块，质量和变化是乳腺癌最常见的症状之一。其他症状包括：
It’s important to alert your doctor or health care provider as soon as you experience symptoms.
乳腺癌共同分享一个主要的东西 - 它们都在乳房中开始。大多数乳腺癌从管道中开始，牛奶到乳头，或在“小叶中”，制作母乳。 However, there are many different types of breast cancer, and the distinctions between them can be difficult to understand.
Breast cancer types are separated into two main groups: invasive or in situ (non-invasive). All kinds of breast cancer fall under one of these categories.
原位（非侵入性）：When breast cancer is not invasive, it is most likely ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a non-invasive type of breast cancer that starts in a milk duct and has not yet spread anywhere else. DCIS accounts for approximately 1 in 5 new cases of breast cancer. DCIS is also called stage 0 breast cancer, and most women have a positive prognosis at this stage. However, DCIS can progress and spread beyond the milk ducts, becoming invasive cancer.
Invasive:Invasive breast cancer refers to any breast cancer that spreads from the original site and “invades” other areas, like nearby breast tissue, lymph nodes or anywhere else in the body. Most breast cancers are invasive.
称为最常见的侵入性乳腺癌类型侵入性导管癌（IDC）。 IDC accounts for roughly 70 to 80 percent of all breast cancers. IDC starts in a milk duct and spreads, growing into other parts of the breast. With time, it may spread further, or metastasize, to other parts of the body.
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common type, accounting for roughly 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers. ILC starts in lobules—where breast milk is made—and then spreads into nearby breast tissue. Like IDC, it can metastasize.
还有许多其他侵袭性乳腺癌亚型 - 一些更具挑战性，以治疗或更容易治疗而不是更常见的IDC。其他，较不常见的乳腺癌包括：
Rare breast cancers that affect other types of cells in the breast, which are more aggressive and more challenging to treat:
当乳腺癌从乳房蔓延到附近的淋巴结到身体的其他部位时，就像骨骼，肺，肝脏或大脑一样，它被称为转移性，最先进的breast cancer stage。
乳腺癌类型也可以通过其他因素来区分，这有助于确定最有可能工作的治疗方法。您的医生将识别这些因素来提出对您最合适的治疗计划。这些因素包括：
Diagnostic tests for breast cancer are used not only to determine if you have cancer but also to identify the type and how aggressive it is. Tools and tests used to diagnose breast cancer include:
Different tests are used to determine whether the breast cancer has metastasized. These tests include:
If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, the next step will be to partner with your care team on treatment options. It's important to spend time learning about the benefits and risks of each approach Your care team—which may include an oncologist, nurses, social workers and other supportive providers—is there for you to learn from and lean on.
There are two main categories of treatments for breast cancer and other types of cancer: local treatments and systemic treatments.
Breast cancer treatmentusually consists of a combination of local and systemic treatments. Most women with breast cancer have surgery to remove a tumor. But the other treatments used largely depend on factors like:
手术是乳腺癌的常见治疗选择。其他治疗选项包括：
在乳腺癌中心每个CTCA hospitals, located across the nation, our cancer experts are devoted to a single mission—treating breast cancer patients with compassion and precision. Each patient’s care team is led by a medical oncologist and coordinated by a registered oncology nurse, who helps track the various appointments, follow up on tests and answer questions that come up along the way. Your care team also may include a breast surgeon, radiation oncologist, radiologist, pathologist and a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with advanced training in helping patients restore function and appearance. Fertility preservation and genetic testing are also available for qualifying patients who need them.
我们的病理学家和肿瘤科医师在旨在诊断，阶段和治疗不同类型的乳腺癌的工具中经验丰富和培训，从早期导管癌原位到复杂的疾病，如三阴性和炎症乳腺癌。
我们的胸部外科医生提供显微外科方法，如乳头制备乳房切除术和重建皮瓣手术，我们的放射肿瘤学家采用了旨在降低心脏和其他临界器官的辐射风险的技术。乳腺癌中心也参与其中临床试验关于精密治疗和创新技术，包括有针对性的疗法。这些试验可以提供可能对他们不可用的参与者选项。
