Inflammatory breast cancer is rare, making up only 1-5% of cases of breast cancer in the US. Inflammatory breast cancer does not always involve a lump, and instead, the breast often appears red or swollen. This type of breast cancer advances quickly, is often diagnosed as stage III or IV, and requires aggressive treatment right away.
