Invasive ductal carcinoma

Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for about 80% of all breast cancer diagnoses.
It begins in the milk ducts and invades the surrounding breast tissue, which can then spread to other parts of the body.
Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, making awareness of its symptoms vital.
Common symptoms of IDC include a lump or mass in the breast, changes in breast shape or size, dimpling of the skin, nipple discharge, or a newly inverted nipple.
Some patients may also experience swelling in part of the breast or underarm lymph nodes.
It's important to note that not all lumps are cancerous, but any new or unusual changes should be evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly.
Risk factors for developing IDC include age, genetic mutations (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2), family history of breast cancer, personal history of breast conditions, and lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and obesity.
Regular screening and mammograms are recommended for early detection, especially for those at higher risk.
