Cancer Mastitis-like

Mastitis-like cancer is a rare and very aggressive form of breast cancer that arises from the tissue near the nipple. It occurs in only 0.3-0.5% of patients with breast cancer.

Mastitis-like cancer is one of the most serious forms of breast cancer and has a high risk of recurrence and metastasis. It usually appears as a swelling near the nipple, but can also spread to nearby tissue.

Typically, this form of the disease appears without symptoms in the early stages, but as it progresses, it can lead to chest pain, swelling, fluid from the tumor, and other complications.

One of the most effective methods of treating mastitis-like cancer is mastectomy - removal of the mammary gland along with the tumor. However, if the tumor grows, more radical surgery may be required, such as removal of regional lymph nodes

Mastoid breast cancer is a malignant tumor arising from milk-secreting cells or from the ductal epithelial tissue of the mammary glands. This type of cancer is a rare type of malignant breast tumor. Statistics show that about 5-6% of women suffering from breast cancer are diagnosed with mastoid cancer. Experts classify this form of the disease as a rare form of cancer for two reasons. Firstly, this type of cancer makes up no more than 5% of the total number of malignant neoplasms of the mammary gland, and secondly, experts have mixed opinions regarding the origin and mechanism of development of mastoid tumors.

It is important to understand that 70% of patients with mastitis-like cancer have positive treatment results. However, to date, the disease has not been sufficiently studied, so treatment methods are not completely clear. That is why every second or third patient is registered at the oncology center, and additional studies are carried out quite rarely.
