Breasts are mostly made of a collection of fat cells (adipose tissue), lobes, lobules, and milk ducts.
Each lobe is made up of smaller lobules, the gland that produces milk in nursing women. Both lobes and lobules are connected by milk ducts. Milk ducts carry the milk to the nipple.
Breast canceris a group of diseases in which cells in breast tissue change and divide uncontrolled, typically resulting in a lump or mass. Most breast cancers begin in the lobules (milk glands) or in the ducts that connect the lobules to the nipple.
