It can be ...it is fatty tissue...benign or malignant.
mastectomy is the complete removal of a breast and some surrounding tissue to insure that all the cancer has been removed.Lumpectomy is the removal of cancerous tissue and some additional tissue around it.

Breast cancer originates (as the name tells) in breast tissue. When it starts to spread, it extends into the muscles of the chest wall, which is called 'breast cancer with chest wall involvement'.
Yes because the breast tissue is undergoing cell differentiation.
True. While breast cancer is more commonly associated with women, men can also develop breast cancer. Though rare, it's estimated that around 1 in 833 men will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Men have breast tissue, though typically less developed than women's, and this tissue can still be susceptible to cancerous growth.
it can eat away at your breast tissue and you will have to get your breast(s) removed if the cancer has gone to far but if you seek help immediately there could be a way of stopping it in time!
While breast cancer is most commonly associated with individuals who have breast tissue, it's important to note that breast cancer can also occur in individuals who do not have typical breast anatomy. This includes individuals assigned male at birth or those who have undergone mastectomies (surgical removal of the breast tissue) as part of gender-affirming procedures. Breast cancer can develop in the small amount of breast tissue that may remain after mastectomy or in other structures such as the chest wall or axilla (underarm area) where breast tissue may still be present. Additionally, individuals assigned male at birth have a small amount of breast tissue behind their nipples and areolas, which can also be affected by breast cancer. While breast cancer is less common in individuals without typical breast anatomy, it's still essential for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to seek medical attention if they notice any changes or abnormalities in their chest area. Regular self-exams and clinical breast exams by a healthcare provider can help detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable, regardless of gender identity or breast anatomy.

Breast cancer surgery is a key component of breast cancer treatment that involves removing the cancer with an operation. Breast cancer surgery may be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy and radiation therapy. The goal of breast cancer surgery is to remove the tumor itself and a portion of surrounding tissue while conserving as much of the breast as possible. Breast cancer surgery methods differ in the amount of breast tissue that is taken out with the tumor. That depends on the tumor location, how far itβs spread, and your personal feelings. There are 2 basic types to remove breast cancer surgery : Lumpectomy : The surgeon removes the tumor and a small rim of normal tissue around it. The rest of the breast remains intact. How your breast looks after a lumpectomy depends on the amount of tissue removed. Mastectomy: The surgeon removes the entire breast. In many cases, but not all, this includes the nipple and areola. Sometimes, breast reconstruction is done at the same time as a mastectomy.
In lobular breast cancer, there is usually one mass present in the affected breast. The tumor starts in the lobule, and spreads to surrounding breast tissue.
No; breast cancer results from a tumor with mutant DNA growing in breast tissue. This has nothing to do with wearing tight clothes.
Yes, males can develop breast cancer, although it is much less common than in females. Breast cancer in men accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. However, it is essential for men to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to seek medical attention if they notice any changes in their breast tissue.
