Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) is the most common type of breast cancer, starting in the milk ducts and then spreading into the surrounding breast tissue. It begins when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the duct lining, breaking through the duct wall, and invading nearby tissues. IDC can often be detected through imaging tests or physical exams and may form a lump or cause changes in the breast. Early diagnosis and treatment are important, and outcomes vary depending on the cancer’s stage and characteristics. With appropriate care, many women effectively treat IDC and achieve good prognosis.
