Breast cancer starts when the DNA (genetic material) within breast cells becomes damaged or changed, causing uncontrollable cell growth.

The type of cancer you have will be determined in part by the specific cells where these changes take place.

Breast cancer can affect people of any sex, but it is higher in females.

Paget's disease of the breast can affect people of any sex but is more common in females.

Phyllodes Tumors account for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases.

Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that accounts for 0.1% to 0.2% of cases.

The most common type of breast cancer in people of any sex is invasive ductal carcinoma.

Other types include invasive lobular carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer, and Paget's disease of the breast.

Different combinations of factors can result in the same stage, and this can mean different treatments are recommended.
