This document discusses breast cancer, including its types, causes, diagnostic tests, and management. The main types are ductal carcinoma in situ, lobular carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer, and Paget's disease. Diagnostic tests include clinical breast examination, mammography, biopsy and other imaging tests. Management involves surgical procedures, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapies to block molecules involved in tumor growth.

19. BREAST SELF
EXAMINATION
Screening for early detection of
breast cancer
Begins at the age of 20
Best time to perform breast self
examination is one week after
starting of the menstruation cycle
Women with irregular period have to
perform BSE same day of every
month

• Block the growth of cancer by interfering
with specific molecule involved in tumor
progression.
