  1. Mucinous Carcinoma –A Rare Sort of Breast Cancer Overview Mucinous carcinoma is an invasive type of cancer that occurs in the ‘mucin’ producing organs of the human body. Mucin is a main component of mucous, and thus any mucous producing organ of the body is susceptible to this type of cancer. It is a rare type of cancer, but is mostly linked to breast cancer, as almost 5% of all breast cancers actually have mucinous carcinoma as the cause. When causing symptoms of breast cancer, mucinous carcinoma usually begins in the milk duct. According to the cancer specialists at a leading cancer hospital in Gurgaon, mucinous carcinoma may be ‘pure’ or ‘mixed’. Pure mucinous carcinoma means that they are the only cancerous cells present, while mixed mucinous carcinoma

  2. means that its cells are mixed with cancerous cells of another type or types. Symptoms Mucinous carcinoma doesn’t cause any symptoms of breast cancer in its early stages. But eventually it will begin to cause symptoms such as a noticeable lump in the breast tissue. Additional symptoms of mucinous carcinoma of the breast include: Swelling of the breast Pain in the breast Painful nipple Retracted nipple

  3. Irritation or dimpled area of the skin Scales or redness of the skin of the breast Under arm lump Discharge from the nipple that isn’t breast milk Unusual changes in the appearance of the breast or nipple Causes Like most cancers, the exact cause of mucinous carcinoma is not known. Doctors have, however, identified certain risk factors that increase the chances of contracting this disease. These include: Age Gender Obesity

  4. Tobacco use Sedentary lifestyle Alcohol consumption Breast density (specifically for breast cancer) Unhealthy diet There are oncologists in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR in certain multi-facility super-specialty hospitals in Gurgaon. You can contact them if you or your loved ones start experiencing any symptoms of breast cancer.
