Abstract

Breast cancer is the type of cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. It is the commonly cancer diagnosed in women [1]. It can occur in both men and women; but it’s far more common in women. It is characterized by the presence of a breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue; differences in the size; shape or appearance of a breast; as well as changes to the skin over the breast; such as dimpling. Other features include a newly inverted nipple; and peeling; scaling; crusting or flaking of the pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple (areola) or breast skin as well as redness or pitting of the skin over the breast; like the skin of an orange [2]. Breast cancer results when some breast cells begin to grow abnormally.
