Forms of Breast Cancer

There are many forms of breast cancer, which can be divided into 2 main categories: non-invasive and invasive. Non-invasive cancer doesn’t spread to other parts, while invasive cancer can spread to other areas from the glands or ducts of the breast. Some common types of breast cancer include non-invasive ductal carcinoma, non-invasive lobular carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, and invasive ductal carcinoma. Some less common forms include angiosarcoma, phyllodes tumor, and Paget disease of the nipples. Treatment options will depend on the type of breast cancer you have. [4]
