Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Iowa. It can happen in both men and women, but it is rare in men. It is a type of cancer that forms in tissues of the
breast. It is usually formed in the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) or lobules (glands that make milk).
