Inflammatory Breast Cancer - IBC Foundation, Eraseibc.org

Inflammatory Breast Cancer - IBC Foundation, Eraseibc.org Our mission is to raise awareness of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) and help the fight for its cure. Like other types of breast cancer, IBC can occur in men.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is THE MOST 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”, sometimes overnight. IBC accounts for 1 to 5 percent (these numbers vary depending on their source) of all breast cancer cases in

the United States. It tends to be diagnosed in younger women compared to non-IBC breast cancer. IBC lies in sheets (or nests), not the usual lump women are told to look for, thus rarely seen on routine mammograms. IBC occurs more frequently and at a younger age in African Americans than in Whites. The median age range of IBC patients is between 45 and 55 years old, but may be either younger or older. The 5-year median survival rate is approximately 40%, mainly due to delays in diagnosis, a physician's lack of expertise in treating IBC and its resistance to treatment with standard chemotherapy drugs. IBC is treated differently, because it is different.
