Breast cancer is one of the most incident cancers and has been considered the leading cause of death for women worldwide. When it is restricted to a mumlobulum or duct it is defined as noninvasive breast cancer, such as ductal carcinoma in situ and lobular carcinoma in situ. On the other hand, when malignant cells extend to regions adjacent to or far from breast tissue, an invasive or metastatic breast cancer is characterized, such as infiltrated ductal and lobular carcinomas, mucinous carcinoma, and tubular carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
