The Different Types of Breast Cancer, Explained

Rare Breast Cancers

The most common types of breast cancers develop from the ducts or lobules. Conversely, rare types of breast cancer form in other tissues and cells of the breast, including the sebaceous glands, endothelial cells, and muscles. The therapeutic approach to the treatment of primary breast cancer is extensively studied and well defined. However, there is no consensus regarding treatment of rare breast cancer due to the rarity in research, and most of them have been treated with standard therapy.
