What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow out of control. The cells clump together and form a mass, or a lump. Not all lumps in the breast are caused by breast cancer. Breast cancer lumps are malignant and can spread to other tissue and other parts of the body.
