Breast cancer is the cancer that develops in the tissues of the breast. The signs of breast cancer include change in the shape of breast, secretion of fluid from the nipple, scaly red patch of skin, lump in the breast, and a new inverted nipple. Metastasis is the process through which cancer cells spread. Metastatic breast cancer is the condition where cancer cells originated in the breast spread to other body parts, like brain, lungs, liver and bones. Metastatic cancer originates when cancer cells from the primary tumor break away and enter the lymphatic system or blood stream, which carry fluids across the body. The cancer cells travel from the primary tumor through these fluids, and then they settle and develop new tumors in other parts of the body. This book unravels the recent studies on the metastasis of breast cancer. It consists of contributions made by international experts. This book aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area of study.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts from the breast cells. Some of its common symptoms are formation of lump in the breast, dimpling of breast skin, and changes in the size and appearance of the breast. There are many different types of breast cancer such as ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive lobular carcinoma, angiosarcoma, Paget's disease of the breast and inflammatory breast cancer. Factors such as obesity, lack of physical exercise, alcoholism, hormone replacement therapy during menopause, and ionizing radiation may result in the development of breast cancer. It can be diagnosed with the help of biopsy. The treatment of breast cancer involves performing surgery, prescribing medications, and therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. A number of latest researches have been included in this book to keep the readers updated with the latest concepts related to the biological and clinical progress in breast cancer. It is an excellent resource guide for oncologists as well as students.

The group of diseases involving abnormal growth of cell with the potential to spread to other parts of the body is termed as cancer. Abnormal cell division, and changes at the cellular, genetic and epigenetic levels indicate the process of cancer. Breast cancer is a cancer that develop from breast tissues. There are many symptoms of breast cancer such as change in breast shape, lump in breast, dimpling of skin, newly inverted nipple, fluid discharge from the nipple, or a red scaly patch of skin that indicates the development of breast cancer. Factors such as obesity, a lack of physical exercise, alcoholism, hormone replacement therapy during menopause, ionizing radiation, and a family history of breast cancer are some of its major risk factors. The treatment of breast cancer is surgery followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This book on breast cancer is a resource guide for researchers as well as students. The topics covered herein offer the readers new insights about the advances in cellular and molecular biology of breast cancer.
