What Is Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma?
Infiltrating ductal carcinoma may also be referred to as invasive carcinoma and is a malignant cancer. It starts in the milk ducts of the breast and infiltrates, or spreads, to the tissue of the breast. After it spreads to the breast tissue, infiltrating ductal carcinoma can spread, or metastasize, to other areas of the body. It is one of the most common types of breast cancer.
