Immunotherapy rises as new approach toward breast cancer treatment.

Breast cancer is found as the second most common cancer in women in the United States, while it is one of the leading causes of cancer death across the world. With the availability of advance treatment based on immunotherapy and presence of the new technology for diagnosis, may help in early detection of this cancer.

Fibrocystic breast changes term used to describe certain benign changes in the breast, typically associated with palpable nodularity, lumpiness, swelling, or pain. Lymph edema is chronic swelling of an extremity due to axillary lymph node dissection. Mastitis is inflammation or infection of the breast. Paget’s disease from of breast cancer begins in the ductal system and involves the nipple, areola, and surrounding skin. Gynecomastia is over developed breast tissue typically seen in adolescent boys.

Types of breast cancer involve in situ breast cancer and infiltrating breast cancer.

In Situ Breast Cancer remains within the ducts or lobules of the breasts. This type of cancer is not easily detected. In Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS), cancer is arises in the milk duct. In Lobular Carcinoma in situ (LCIS), cancer is arises in the lobule of the breast. LCIS is most common cancer, in the case of pre-menopausal in women.

Breast cancer cells cross the lining of the lobule or milk duct, and begin to invade adjacent tissues, it is known as infiltrating cancer. Breast cancer is considered infiltrating or invasive, when the cancer cells have penetrated the membrane that surrounds a duct or lobule. This type of cancer forms a lump that can eventually be felt by a physical examination.

There are several immunotherapy are used for treatment of breast cancer. This therapy is based on several immunotherapeutic cancer agents such as monoclonal antibodies. Therapeutic vaccines, kinase inhibitor and miscellaneous. Some of them  (Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab) have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval  for the treatment of this cancer, while many (Margetuximab, Bevacizumab, and Glembatumumab Vedotin) are under various phases of clinical trials for FDA approval.
