Breast cancer is a disease caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the breast ducts or lobules. Its occurrence depends on genetic, hormonal, environmental and lifestyle factors. This book explains its basic anatomy, the global epidemiology, the main risk factors and the molecular mechanisms that allow us to understand how it develops. It also describes the clinical and pathological classification, diagnostic methods such as mammography and biopsy, and current treatment options, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Its complications, prognosis, and strategies for prevention and early detection are discussed. In addition, a chapter on breast cancer in men is included, addressing its particular characteristics.
