invasive breast cancer - (pronounced) (in-VAY-siv brest KAN-ser) Cancer that has spread from its site of origin in the breast to the surrounding normal tissues. The most common type of invasive breast cancer is invasive ductal carcinoma, which starts in the lining of the milk ducts (thin tubes that carry milk from the lobules of the breast to the nipple). Another type is invasive lobular carcinoma, which starts in the lobules (mammary glands) of the breast. Invasive breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymphatic systems. Also called infiltrating breast cancer
