Understanding Carcinoma of the Breast

Carcinoma of the breast, also known as mammary carcinoma or cancer of the breast, refers to a group of malignant tumors that originate in breast tissue. It primarily affects women but can also occur in men. Early detection and timely treatment are key to improving outcomes and quality of life.

Common Types of Breast Cancer Treated at Curis Life:

• Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) – Most common type, begins in milk ducts and invades surrounding tissue.
• Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) – Begins in milk-producing lobules.
• Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer – Responsive to hormonal therapy.
• Triple-negative breast cancer – More aggressive, not responsive to hormone therapy or HER2-targeted treatment.
• Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) – Non-invasive, early-stage breast cancer.
• Breast cancer in men – Rare but significant, also treated with similar protocols.

Breast Cancer Symptoms

Early diagnosis of breast neoplasm dramatically improves chances of successful treatment. Consult our oncology consultation team in Andheri West if you experience:

• A new lump in the breast or underarm
• Change in breast shape, size, or appearance
• Nipple discharge (possibly bloody or clear)
• Inversion of nipple or skin dimpling
• Redness or flaky skin around the nipple
• Persistent pain in the breast or nipple area

Conditions & Risk Factors for Breast Cancer

At Curis Life, we believe in educating patients about breast cancer prevention. Understanding your risks can save lives.

Common Risk Factors Include:

• Family history of breast cancer (especially BRCA gene mutation)
• Dense breast tissue
• Increasing age (above 40)
• Previous radiation to the chest
• Hormonal factors – early menstruation, late menopause, hormone therapy
• Lifestyle – obesity, alcohol, smoking

Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Our expert diagnostic approach ensures timely and accurate detection of breast malignancy:

• Clinical breast exam & breast self-exam guidance
• Mammogram – Standard screening tool for early detection
• Breast MRI scan – For dense tissue or high-risk individuals
• Ultrasound of the breast
• Breast biopsy – Needle or surgical biopsy to confirm diagnosis
• Cancer markers – Including CA 15-3 and HER2
• Genetic testing – For BRCA mutations in high-risk families

Stages of Breast Cancer

Understanding the stage helps guide treatment. We follow the TNM classification system:

• Stage 0: DCIS, non-invasive
• Stage I–II: Early invasive breast cancer
• Stage III: Locally advanced breast cancer
• Stage IV: Metastatic or advanced-stage breast cancer
