Inflammatory Breast Cancer Disease: A Literature Review

Abstract

Physicians, health care practitioners, and breast cancer advocacy groups have spent many decades investing in the promotion of breast cancer screening and early detection mechanisms, such as mammograms and breast self-examinations. These screening modalities are extremely important in reducing breast cancer incidence, prevalence, and mortality, as breast cancer screening continues to contribute to decreasing the surging mortality rate of cancerous diseases. Without the use of these screening measures, breast cancer mortality would affect many more women and exceed current statistics. While these screenings are important for the early detection of breast cancer, a more uncommon, virulent, and fatal form of breast cancer known as Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) has gone largely unreported and continues to affect women. Considering IBC is an aggressive form of breast cancer with a five-year survival rate of 65%, more diligent measures and strategies are needed to educate women throughout the world about IBC.The purpose of this review is to present an overview of the literature introducing IBC, address symptoms to spread awareness, concentrate on early detection, and focus on the comprehensive treatment options of IBC.

“…On the other hand, malignant cancer is categorized as invasive carcinoma in situ after first being identified as melanoma [2]. Invasive BC spreads to adjacent organs causing difficulty,whereas carcinoma in situ remains confined to the area and does not affect surrounding tissue [3]. BC needs to be identified early and should categorize approximately as benign or malignant cancer in order to prevent further progression.…”
