Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Definition and Symptoms
Invasive ductal carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that begins in the milk ducts of the breast and spreads to other tissues of the breast. This is the most common form of breast cancer, making up about 80% of all breast cancer cases. Symptoms include swelling of the breast (either the entire breast or part), skin irritation, nipple pain, thickening of the nipple skin, discharge from the nipple that is not milk, a lump in the armpit, and breast pain.
