Question 1
Breast cancer is a tumor that begins in the breast cells. Breast cancer is generally caused by DNA damage and genetic alterations, which have been related to estrogen exposure. P53 (a gene that controls protein synthesis within cells), breast cancer gene 1, and breast cancer gene 2 are some of the genes that some cancer patients inherit. A family history of ovarian cancer exposes most people to breast cancer. Lack of immune monitoring and protection might trigger cancer development since the human immune system usually eliminates cells with damaged DNA and cancer cells (O'Grady & Morgan, 2018). Breast malignant can be classified as either sarcomas or carcinomas. The classification of breast cancer depends on the origin of cancer or the cell cells that caused cancer to develop. Carcinomas originate from the external layer of the breast. In addition, carcinomas are the most common type of breast cancer. Lobular carcinoma is one of the most frequent kinds of breast cancer, and it can be either pre-invasive or non-invasive (O'Grady & Morgan, 2018). Cancer cells penetrate and develop from outside breast tissues lobules and blood ways in invasive breast cancer.
