Overview

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from the cells of the breast, most often in the ducts or lobules of the glandular tissue, and is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, though it can also occur in men. The disease is biologically heterogeneous, comprising subtypes defined by features such as hormone-receptor status and HER2 expression, which influence prognosis and guide therapy; triple-negative breast cancer, lacking these receptors, is associated with more limited targeted options. Risk is shaped by genetic, hormonal, reproductive, and lifestyle factors, and outcomes depend strongly on stage at diagnosis, making early detection and screening central to survival. Management is multimodal and may combine surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal (endocrine) therapy, and targeted agents, selected according to tumor biology and extent of disease, including metastatic spread. Survival and survivorship encompass not only tumor control and the biology of progression and metastasis but also the psychological and supportive-care needs of patients. Research published in this area reflects these themes, including studies of survival in cancer-center cohorts, prognostic and histopathological grading, triple-negative disease and lymph-node metastasis, chemokine signaling and metastatic pathways, candidate anticancer compounds, treatment after brain metastasis, and the mental-health and psycho-oncological dimensions of living with breast cancer.
