than any other, not to be confused with Paget’s dis-
ease, a devastating bone disease. 
(2) In Paget’s disease of the breast, the abnor-
mal cells begin growing in the milk ducts of the nip-
ple and can develop into a tumor. 
(3) The cancer usually appears in women, but 
can also affect males. 
(4) It is a slow growing cancer, and with proper 
treatment can be cured. 
(5) The symptoms of the cancer appear to be 
harmless. The symptoms in the nipple closely resem-
ble a skin inflammation (dermatitis) or infection. 
This can lead to unfortunate delays in detection and 
care. 
(6) By the time the cancer is diagnosed, many 
patients have a palpable mass. The underlying can-
cer may be invasive or in situ. 
(7) Standard treatment is identical to that for 
other forms of breast cancer, and the prognosis de-
pends on the invasiveness and size of the tumor and 
the presence or absence of lymph node involvement.
