breast cancer
Chest tumor disease
Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the tissue of the breast, most commonly in the ducts that carry milk or the glands that produce it.
It affects primarily women but can occur in men.
Early detection through mammograms and self-examination improves survival rates significantly.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer at forty-two.
