Which is the most aggressive form of breast cancer?
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered an aggressive cancer because it grows quickly, is more likely to have spread at the time it's found and is more likely to come back after treatment than other types of breast cancer. The outlook is generally not as good as it is for other types of breast cancer.
Which is the most common type of breast cancer?
The most common types are invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma. Invasive ductal carcinoma makes up about 70-80% of all breast cancers.
What is the type of breast cancer with the worst prognosis?
The poorest prognosis is for metastatic breast cancer (stage IV), when the cancer has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body. Learn more about breast cancer treatment.
What are all the types of breast cancers?
Types of breast cancer include ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive cancer where abnormal cells have been found in the lining of the breast milk duct.
