If you’re diagnosed with breast cancer is the rest of you safe? Or is it more like you have cancer in your body and it started in the breast?
In: Biology
It’s a cancer made of breast tissue. There are specific cells and tissue designed for milk production in the breast (in both men and women) and when those cells become cancerous, that is breast cancer.
When cancer is malignant, that is what makes it truly dangerous. The tumor breaks a small piece off and gets lodged somewhere else in the body and begins forming a new tumor. It’s still breast tissue, but now it’s growing somewhere else.
