		Inflammatory breast cancer is an uncommon form of rapidly advancing breast cancer that usually accounts for approximately 1% to 3% of all breast cancer diagnoses.
		Inflammatory breast cancer is a form of invasive breast cancer that progresses quickly and should be differentiated by physicians from other forms of advanced breast cancer with similar characteristics.
		Inflammatory breast cancer can sometimes be mistaken by patients and physicians as a breast infection (or mastitis) because its symptoms, and the rapidity with which they appear (sometimes within weeks) resemble those associated with infections.

		Although IBC accounts for only 1 percent to 5 percent of all breast cancers, less than half of patients diagnosed with IBC survive.
		Janice Freed, who has IBC, says, "The statistics for inflammatory breast cancer are not good, but the only two that matter is zero and 100 percent, and I intend to be that 100 percent.

	Inflammatory breast cancer - Inflammatory breast cancer
		Women with a family history of breast cancer should start screening mammography at an earlier age, and it is usually suggested to start screening at an age that is 10 years less than the age at which a relative was diagnosed with breast cancer.
		Breast cancers detected by mammography are usually smaller than those detected clinically, and women who undergo mammography are more likely to be eligible for breast-conserving therapy.
		Many breast cancers are diagnosed now by mammography before they are large enough to be palpated, but despite screening efforts, many women are diagnosed with breast cancer after they notice a lump or when experiencing symptoms due to metastatic disease.

	Inflammatory Carcinoma of the Breast - Signs, Symptoms and Definition - aka Inflammatory Breast Cancer
		Inflammatory Carcinoma, also known as Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), is an advanced and accelerated form of breast cancer that is automatically staged as Stage IIIb or IV (within the range of Stage I to Stage IV), and IBC is usually not detected by mammograms or ultrasounds.
		Inflammatory Carcinoma of the breast (aka Inflammatory Breast Cancer) usually grows in nests or sheets, rather than as a confined, solid tumor; and therefore, it can be diffuse throughout the breast with no palpable mass.
		IBC has been diagnosed in very young women, and many patient members of an international web-based support group for Inflammatory Breast Cancer at the IBC Support Web site are young women in their twenties and thirties.

	Inflammatory Breast Cancer: Questions and Answers - National Cancer Institute
		Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare but very aggressive type of breast cancer in which the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast.
		This type of breast cancer is called “inflammatory” because the breast often looks swollen and red, or “inflamed.” IBC accounts for 1 to 5 percent of all breast cancer cases in the United States (1).
		IBC tends to grow rapidly, and the physical appearance of the breast of patients with IBC is different from that of patients with other stage III breast cancers.

		Inflammatory breast cancer is more aggressive than other types of breast cancer ; indeed, it is one of the most aggressive of all neoplasms.
		Inflammatory chest wall recurrence of breast cancer is an even more devastating problem with essentially no possibility of control using chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
		Localized inflammatory breast cancer, usually extending from the affected breast or mastectomy site to the chest wall is a rapidly lymphatic spreading form for cancer, usually resistant to radiation or chemotherapy, and prone to rapid dissemination.

		IBC is a serious illness, although techniques for treating it have improved a lot, and survival rates are rising.

		Inflammatory cancers typically appear swollen, warm, and cause induration of the breast.
		Treatment for inflammatory breast cancer usually involves multi-modality therapy consisting of local treatment to remove or destroy the cancer in the breast and systemic treatment to kill cancer cells that may have already spread to other parts of the body.
		Since inflammatory breast cancer only accounts for 1-4% of all breast cancers, large clinical studies comparing one treatment strategy to another have not been and are unlikely to ever be performed.

		— Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in the United States, the second most common cause of cancer death in women (after lung cancer), and the primary cause of death in women ages 45 to 55.
		If hormone receptors are present within a breast cancer, women are significantly more likely to benefit from treatments that lower estrogen levels or block the actions of estrogen, thus depriving the cancer cells of the material that stimulates their growth.
		The stage of a breast cancer is based upon tumor size, involvement of the skin, chest wall or regional lymph nodes, and whether the cancer has spread to bone or other organs (called metastasis).

	Breast cancer information on risk factors, symptoms, detection, diagnosis, stages and treatment
		Breast cancer is not just one disease, but rather is a general term used to describe a number of different types of cancers which occur in the breast.
		The majority of breast cancers begins in either the ducts or the lobules and cancer names are based on their site of origin (i.e., ductal carcinoma of the breast or lobular carcinoma of the breast).
		When cancer arises in breast tissue and spreads (metastasizes) outside the breast, cancer cells are often found in the lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes).

		Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), which can also be Stage stage III or Stage stage IV breast cancer, is the least common but most aggressive type of breast cancer.
