Description

Malignant female breast neoplasm is a type of cancer that affects the breast tissue in women. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the breast, which can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of malignant female breast neoplasm can include a lump in the breast, changes in the size or shape of the breast, nipple discharge, and pain in the breast or armpit. Treatment for malignant female breast neoplasm typically involves surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or hormone therapy.
