Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types and it mainly affects women, although men can also be affected by it. It is the second most common cancer amongst American women, following skin cancer. Breast cancer is caused when cells within the breast start to grow abnormally. Most breast cancers start from the ducts which carry milk to the nipples while others begin in the glands that produce milk.
Amongst other, the following symptoms may indicate breast cancer:
- Pain on the nipples or breast
- Skin irritation
- Swelling of parts of the breast or all of it
- Retraction of the nipple
Most doctors will usually recommend annual mammograms and physical breast examination to women over 40-45 years old or women that are considered in high-risk. Those tests are the most common way for women to get screened.
The diagnosis of most types of this cancer can be done through a biopsy.

What our patients say about us
After the first round of BCG and a follow up cystoscopy......I am cancer free. The doctor even did a deep biopsy on the spot where he removed the polyps previously and it was all clean and good according to the pathology report. I owe you and your group a debt of thanks on the BCG recommendation.You can use me as a reference anytime.Thank you.....so much.
The Cancerdocs oncologist who examined my case has the amazing ability to not only listen to what a patient is saying, but to hear what the patient is asking. I consider my case complex, and was deciding between two different directions, either of which could change my life. He helped me recognize the risks and benefits of both paths, and I am now comfortable with my decision.
