Breast cancer frequently starts in the interior lining of the milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Breast cancer that develops in the lobules is referred to as lobular carcinoma, while cancer that forms in the ducts is called ductal carcinoma. Some of the initial effects of breast cancer are masses and localized lumps that can be felt within the breast, and these lumps may feel firmer, painful, and immobile. Considering the tumors grow without help from the connective tissue, they may result in visible changes to the breast's surface. The tumors disrupt the ducts leading to the nipple, resulting in a discharge from the nipples, which is a common symptom of cancer.
