Different tumor subtypes can include glandular, which include the
mammary glands, as well as squamous, which are very rare and involve epithelial
cells that line the inside of the breast.

cells out, you still get chronic inflammation and tissue damage,» says Charles Streuli, who supervised the study.
But we had no other
