Mastitis carcinoma is a rare breast disease that can lead to cancer. This is one of the most terrible forms of breast cancer, which is characterized by rapid growth of the tumor and its metastases to the lymph nodes and other organs.
The causes of carcinoma in the mammary glands are not fully understood. Some studies point to an association with estrogen exposure due to hormonal imbalances, while others point to a hereditary nature of the disease. Treatment for mastitis carcinoma includes surgical removal of the tumor, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy if necessary. The prognosis of the disease depends on the stage of the disease, but some cases can be fatal.
