    Pathophysiology of Breast Cancer: If Not Treated

    Uploaded by

    steffi
    Breast cancer develops from a combination of predisposing genetic and hormonal factors that interact with precipitating environmental exposures to cause somatic mutations activating oncogenes or deactivating tumor suppressors, leading to neoplasm formation in the breast tissue. If not treated, the primary tumor can become invasive, progressing to nearby lymph nodes and distant organs, compromising their functions and potentially causing death.
