There are several types of breast cancer, but most often are two types: ductal and lobular carcinoma carcionoma. Ductal carcinoma is a cancer that appears in the ductus or pipelines that transport the milk in the breast. Lobular carcinoma is a cancer found in the lobules or milk-making glands. Cancer that has not spread beyond the ductus or lobules is called in-situ means "in place". When it spreads, it is called invasive or infiltrating.
Ductal Carcinoma
In ductal carcinoma in-situ cancer was only along the milk ducts. At this stage, almost 100% of cancer patients can be cured. The easiest way to identify ductal carcinoma in-situ is by mammogram periodically / annually. You also can check yourself out with a technique called BSE (breast self-checks).If allowed, ductal carcinoma eventually spread to surrounding tissues. ASI channel wall thinning and eventually burst, then the cancer had spread. The spread can be
limited in the vicinity of the origin of cancer, but can also throughout the body (metastasis) through the blood circulation. The spread mainly into the lymph glands in the armpits and other organs such as bone, liver and lungs. Approximately 70% of breast cancers are invasive ductal carcinoma.
Lobular carcinoma
In lobular carcinoma in situ (also called lobular neoplasia), cancer is still not penetrate the wall of the lobules. Potentially invasive lobular carcinoma metastases and spread to other body parts, starting from the fatty tissue of the breast. Approximately 10-15% of breast cancers are invasive lobular carcinoma. This type of cancer does not always cause a bump, but just making the affected tissue thickening so that it can be difficult to detect.

Paget's Disease
Types of breast cancer is the most rare cancer nipple, known as Paget's disease. The spread of this cancer starts from the ductus and spread to the skin around the nipple and areola (the dark circles around the nipple). The skin around the nipple often feels rough, speckled, red and bleeding. Patients will feel itchy and hot.
