What is Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
It's a different type of breast cancer that comprises less than 4% of all breast cancer cases. It's called IBC and it's aggressive, but many doctors don't think to look for it. It's estimated that 1%-2% of newly invasive breast cancers in the United States are IBC's. The median rangeof IBC patients is between 45 and 55 years old, but may be younger or older. The 5-year median survival rate is approximately40%, mainly due to delays in diagnosis, the lack of expertise in treating IBC and its resistnace to treatment with standard chemotherapy drugs.
