What You Need to Know About Breast Cancer by Boone Swann Your body is
made up of cells, which are the main elements in the tissue that your
body uses to create and maintain your organs. When some of these cells
grow and divide in improper ways, they can turn cancerous and form into
a mass called a tumor.
As cells grow old and die within your body they're replaced with new ones.
At least, this is what happens when cells behave as they're meant to.
When this process of cellular regeneration falters for whatever reason,
the cells have nowhere to go and that's part of the reason they form into
these growths. The tumors can be classed as either benign or malignant.
Benign tumors are not cancerous although they're just as scary when found
in your body. They aren't life threatening and can usually be removed
easily. Benign tumors do not spread or invade the cells around them.
Malignant tumors on the other hand, are cancerous and are definitely bad
for your health in all cases. Though they can generally be removed, they
sometimes grow back or invade other nearby organs or tissue. This spreading
of the malignant cancer cells to other parts of the body is called Metastasis.With
breast cancer, the diseased cells are usually located within the lymph
nodes near the infected breast.
Breast cancer can spread to other areas of the body as well, with the
most common areas being the liver, lungs, brain or bones. This is known
as metastasic breast cancer Click here
