Ductal Carcinoma treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Ductal carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the cells lining the ducts, most frequently in the mammary gland, from where it can remain localized or spread to neighboring tissues.

Because it is a tumor that requires detailed study, its evaluation falls to the oncologist and, when surgery is considered, to the general surgeon.

How it can be detected: Sometimes it is identified on routine imaging studies, and on other occasions it is associated with a lump, skin changes, or discharge, depending on the affected area.

When should you see a doctor? With the appearance of a new nodule, changes in a breast, or another alteration that does not go away, a checkup is advisable.

An individualized professional evaluation is the appropriate way to understand the case and guide the next steps.
