Types of breast cancer?

There are several types of breast cancer. The most common types include:

1. Ductal carcinoma
This is the most common breast cancer. It begins in the lining of the ducts.

2. Lobular carcinoma
This cancer arises from the lobules.

3. Metastatic breast cancer
When breast cancer spreads outside the breast, cancer cells are often found in the lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes). If the cancer has reached these nodes, it may mean that cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body, other lymph nodes and other organs, such as, the bones, liver or lungs. When breast cancer spreads, it is called metastatic breast cancer.
