In the middle of the spectrum are breast cancers, such as colloid carcinomas and papillary carcinomas, which have a much more favorable outlook (prognosis) than the other more typically invasive breast cancers. Sometimes, noninvasive DCIS is found around invasive breast cancers.

Breast cancer The chance of a woman developing breast cancer up to age 85 is 1 in 9. Over 12,000 women are diagnosed each year in Australia. When breast cancer is detected early, women have a much greater chance of being treated successfully and for most women the cancer will not come back after treatment. Screening mammograms are currently the best method available for detecting breast cancer early. Mammograms may find a breast cancer which is too small to feel. What is a screening mammogram? Who should have a regular screening mammogram? The biggest risk factors for developing breast cancer are being a woman and getting older. BreastScreen Australia targets women aged 50 to 69 years as 75 per cent of all breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50 years. Screening mammograms are often less reliable for women under 40 years of age. The density of breast tissue in younger women often makes it difficult to detect cancers on mammograms. All women aged 40 to 49 years who have no breast symptoms also have free access to the BreastScreen Australia program should they choose to a have a screening mammogram.
