Breast Cancer

    Breast cancer can spread locally through the Lymphatic system to the draining lymph nodes nearby and distally through blood to the brain, lung, bone and liver. Breast cancer can be diagnosed by self examination of the breast, mammography, and biopsy. Breast cancer can be treated by surgery, hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, or some combination of these treatments.
