Causes:
The true cause of Breast Cancer is still a comedy that is being researched, however, many professionals have uncovered certain risk factors that increase vulnerability. Being caused by a mix of both one's genetic make-up and environment, if one has a strong family history of Breast Cancer, it is not unlikely to develop it.

General Pathophysiology:
Breast Cancer most commonly starts with the cells in the milk-producing ducts of the breasts. The cancer cells divide much more rapidly than other and begin to form lumps or masses. Such cells tend to spread to other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes. Results can be detrimental.
