Breast Cancer Anatomy Diagram - Understanding Tumor Location and Surrounding Tissues #3264502 (License: Personal Use)

This labeled anatomical diagram depicts a sagittal cross-section of the human breast, clearly identifying a red malignant tumor embedded in the mammary duct system. Surrounding structures-including the nipple, adipose (fat) tissue, pectoral and intercostal muscles, rib bones, chest wall, and vascular networks-are precisely annotated to demonstrate spatial relationships critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. The image emphasizes how tumors may infiltrate ducts and adjacent tissues, aiding clinicians and patients in visualizing disease progression.

Used in oncology educational materials, patient brochures, medical websites, and telehealth platforms to explain breast cancer pathophysiology; matches user intent for understanding tumor location, staging, or preparing for surgery/radiation therapy.
