Symptoms of breast cancer in women

The mammary gland can be divided into five areas, namely, the inner upper, the outer upper, the inner lower, the outer lower and the central (areola). Breast cancer is more common on the outside, followed by on the inside. It is rare to see the inner and outer parts.
