Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is when breast cells become abnormal. These abnormal cells grow, divide, and create new cells that do not function normally.

Ductal Carcinoma

According to the American Cancer Society Standards, monthly breast exams along with yearly mammograms are considered to be the biggest aid in diagnosing breast cancer. Women age 40 and older should get an annual screening mammogram even if they appear to show no breast symptoms.

Lobular Carcinoma

Invasive lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that begins in the milk glands (lobules) of the breast. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is an uncommon condition in which abnormal cells form in the breast but is not cancer. However, being diagnosed with LCIS indicates that you have an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

Hormone Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer

A Hormone Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer is cancer that tests negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and excess HER2 protein. These results mean the growth of the cancer is not fueled by the hormones estrogen and progesterone, or by the HER2 protein.

Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer

A hormone-receptor-positive tumor, term most commonly refers to oestrogen receptor positive tumors, but can also include progesterone receptor positive tumors. Estrogen-receptor-positive tumors depend on the presence of estrogen for ongoing proliferation.

Invasive Breast Cancer

Invasive breast cancer means that the cancer cells have grown through the lining of the ducts into the surrounding breast tissue

Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastrointestinal cancers are malignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and the organs related to digestion.

Rectal Cancer

Rectal cancer is cancer that begins when cells in the lining of the rectum mutate. These mutated cells grow and spread rapidly, crowding out and destroying healthy cells. The cancer can spread to other areas of the body.
