Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast tumors begin as a group of cancer cells in the breast; they can be either malignant or benign. Tumors that are benign are noncancerous growths that remain intact and do not spread beyond their original location. Malignant tumors are cancerous cells that invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body. The key to breast cancer recovery and treatment is early detection and awareness, and despite modern communications technology, there is still considerable ignorance among women—and men—on how to detect possible breast cancer and the treatments that are available to handle the disease.
