Inflammatory Breast Cancer: How MD Anderson is leading the fight
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. Symptoms for this rare type of breast cancer often include itching, dimpling of the skin of the breast, and a pink, red or dark-colored area of the breast. As a result, IBC is frequently misdiagnosed as a rash or infection.
Because IBC is very fast growing, it's crucial that IBC be treated as quickly as possible and by specialized experts.
