In most cases, small and confined tumor is detected to be the root cause of breast cancer. It first develops in the breast tissues—it can develop either in the milk ducts or in the glands. The first type of cancer is classified as ductal carcinoma and the second as lobular carcinoma.
In its more advanced stage, breast cancer can travel beyond breasts through channels to the lymph nodes or through the blood stream and affect other organs such as bones, lungs or even lever. Even if breast cancer is discovered only after traveling to other locations of the body, it is still referred to and treated as breast cancer. How fast the cancer will spread depends on what type of breast cancer it is. While some may take years to spread, some invade a wide area very quickly.

No one knows the exact causes of breast cancer. Doctors often cannot explain why one woman develops breast cancer and another does not. They do know that bumping, bruising, or touching the breast does not cause cancer. And breast cancer is not contagious. You cannot “catch” it from another person.
