There is a lot of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer every day but they usually do not know a lot about it in terms of how it forms and the many ways it can be treated. Breast cancer is a very serious disease that shouldn’t be taken lightly; if it is left untreated it can spread to other organs and eventually kill you. Even if you do not have breast cancer, chances are that you know or will know someone who will get it, so it is imperative that people understand how breast cancer forms, know the stages of breast cancer, be familiar with who gets breast cancer and how you can possibly avert it, and understand all of the different ways to treat cancer and prevent it from coming back.
Breast cancer always begins with a tumor much like most other forms of cancer. As normal body cells, or DNA, grow and divide, abnormalities occur sometimes but in normal incidences, those cells are detected by the body or ribosome so the cell then repairs itself or it will disable the DNA and die. Body cells develop and divide often during the early stages of life after that cells only divide when there are cells to replace from dying or worn out cells from injuries or viruses. Cancer cells develop from damage in DNA. Cancer cells are not detected as “abnormal,” therefore, they continue to grow and divide without being destroyed by the body. Cancer cells have a damaged ability to bond to one another which means that the cells can’t tell each other to stop dividing when there are too many of them; they just keep trying to fill the space which results in a mass of cells forming a tumor. A tumor can either be malignant or benign. A malignant tumor continues to grow and divides rapidly and it may become life. Hope that helped
