Invasive (infiltrating) : An invasive cancer is one that has already grown beyond the layer of cells where it started (unlike carcinoma in situ).

Adenocarcinoma: An adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in gland tissue (tissue that makes and secretes a substance). The ducts and lobules of the breast are gland tissues because they make breast milk, so cancers starting in these areas are often called adenocarcinomas.
