Breast Cancer Care at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center

Several forms of cancer affect the breast. Breast cancer can be invasive or noninvasive. And, it can affect one or more parts of the breast or nearby structures.

Like all cancers, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body.

Because both men and women are born with breast tissue, this disease can affect anyone.

Breast cancer is somewhat common in the United States. The invasive form affects about 12 percent of U.S. women.
