Be Breast Aware
Know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and pay attention to changes, lumps or abnormalities. They may not be due to cancer, but should be investigated as soon as possible.
What is the difference?
There are different types of breast cancer and breast conditions. Common types of breast cancer include ductal carcinoma that begins in the lining of the ducts or lobular carcinoma which occurs in the lobules (milk-producing glands).
