Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer.
Stage 1 breast cancer in milk duct.
Invasive ductal carcinoma idc also known as infiltrating ductal carcinoma is cancer that began growing in a milk duct and has invaded the fibrous or fatty tissue of the breast outside of the duct.
It s called in situ which means in place because the cells have not left the milk ducts to invade nearby breast tissue.
Dcis ductal carcinoma in situ is a non invasive breast cancer.
Stage 0 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.
Ductal carcinoma in situ dcis means the cells that line the milk ducts of the breast have become cancer but they have not spread into surrounding breast tissue.
In stage 0 breast cancer the atypical cells have not spread outside of the ducts or lobules into the surrounding breast tissue.
Dcis is considered non invasive or pre invasive breast cancer.
Parts of the breast where cancer begins include.
Invasive ductal carcinoma idc.
Idc is the most common form of breast cancer representing 80 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses.

Dcis is considered the earliest form of breast cancer.
There are two types.
This type of cancer forms in the lining of a milk duct within your breast.
Dcis is noninvasive meaning it hasn t spread out of the milk duct and has a low risk of becoming invasive.
But those cells have not spread beyond the wall of the duct to reach.
