Breast Thermography

Invasive Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IIBC) is an aggressive BrCA in which malignant cells block and inflame the lymph vessel plexus in the skin of the breast. This type of BrCA is called inflammatory because the breast appears red and swollen, and is usually tender to the touch (Figure 9.11). Most inflammatory breast cancers are invasive ductal carcinoma, developed from cells that line the milk ducts of the breast. This type of cancer is rare, accounting for only one to 5% of all invasive breast cancers in the United States. IIBC may also occur in males but tends to strike younger women, especially obese women, women of color, and women with dense breasts. Sometimes mistaken for infectious mastitis, IIBC is a diffuse disease that produces rapid swelling and redness of one-third or more of the involved breast. In untreated cases, the lymphatic edema of the breast may cause a clear drainage, usually from the lower portion of the breast. In most cases, there are no discrete masses or other signs that appear on X-ray mammography, though the inflammation shows up dramatically on breast thermograms. Early detection of IIBC is important because the disease tends to run a rapid course and metastasize quickly, with preferential sites of metastasis including the bones, liver, lungs, brain, chest wall, or distant lymph nodes.47

Cancer tissue has two types of cancer cells, known as maturable and non-maturable. The tissue is composed of maturable types with few cells of non-maturable type. It has both genetic and environmental causes. Most cancers are initiated by malignant tumors. These tumors have rapid growth. Breast cancer is one of them. Non-invasive types of cancer are within the milk ducts. In this case, there is no growth or spread into any surrounding tissue. Invasive ductal carcinoma is a common type, comprising 80% of all breast cancers. Breast cancer is notified as the highest-incidence disease among all types of cancer according to the report provided in [1] in 2020. A graphic representation of this study is provided in Figure 5.1. The main reasons for breast cancer include obesity, ultraviolet radiation, and infections. Symptoms of breast cancer include development of a lump in the breast or armpit, dimpling of breast skin, swelling or thickness in any part of the breast, nipple bleeding or pain, and abnormal change in breast shape or size [2]. Early detection of breast cancer after such symptoms have been observed can prevent its development and also death.
Breast imaging
Published in David A Lisle, Imaging for Students, 2012
Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type, accounting for about 70 per cent of cases of breast cancer. Breast cancer may present clinically as a palpable breast mass, or less commonly with other symptoms such as nipple discharge. Increasingly, breast cancer is detected in asymptomatic women through breast screening programmes. The main goal of breast imaging, whether it is in women with specific symptoms or in screening of asymptomatic women, is early diagnosis of breast cancer.
A Comparative Study of Meta Heuristic Model to Assess the Type of Breast Cancer Disease

Breast Cancer (BC) is a type of cancer that originates from the breast tissue and it has two types of (noninvasive and invasive) tumor. The ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma are common types of breast cancer which begins in the lining of the milk ducts and lobules of the breast, respectively. Invasive types of breast cancer can spread from breast ducts or lobules to the surrounding normal tissues of the breast. Tumors are mainly benign and malignant; benign tumors cannot spread by invasion and metastasis; therefore, it has a chance to grow in the local area of the breast, whereas malignant tumors are competent enough to spread by invasion and metastasis. Therefore, in this paper, the term “Cancer” is used only for malignant tumors.
Another way of solving a free boundary problem related to DCIS model

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the earliest stage of breast cancer and it has not spread beyond the milk duct. Byrne and Chaplain [4] and Franks et al. [5] developed models for DCIS at different stages; Additionally, Xu and Gilbert [6] and Xu [7–11] adapted a nutrient diffusion-limited model with a radially symmetric, cylindrical geometry to study DCIS, which is in the form of a free boundary problem (for other publications of tumor growth, e.g. Adam and Bellomo [12], Burton [13], and Greenspan [14]). The research of such free boundary problems not only provides a theoretical basis for DCIS tumor medicine, but also greatly enriches the understanding of partial differential equations.
