Overview
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) is a type of cancer that originates in the milk ducts of the breast and can spread to other parts of the body. It is the most common form of breast cancer, accounting for around 80% of all breast cancer cases, making early detection and diagnosis extremely important to ensure successful treatment. IDC is typically treated with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, depending on the stage and type of cancer. In addition, hormone therapy or targeted therapy may be recommended depending on the patient’s individual case. With early detection, the prognosis for IDC is generally positive, although it is important to note that prognosis vary between individual cases. Knowing the signs and symptoms of IDC, such as changes in the size or shape of the breast, a visible lump in the breast, or fluid from the nipple is critical to seeking early medical help and obtaining the best possible outcome.
