All women over the age of 40 or women who have a family history of breast cancer are recommended to get mammograms biannually (Gale Science in Context).
Conclusion: In conclusion the breast cancer cell doesn’t have a specific structure they are basically just breast cells that have gone crazy and are reproducing too quickly. The function of a breast cancer cell is to create cancer and tumors and spread them around the body. The cancer itself is the malfunction that can occur in this cell. Some ways to detect breast cancer are biopsy or mammograms
