Breast Cancer Pictures

Thanks to 'ibcsurvivor' who posted that photos are available at www.ibcresearch.org, our website! It is challenging to find good representative photos of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). IBC can present in many different ways and medical textbook photos often show very advanced, rather extreme cases. Not everyone presents with a totally red, swollen breast as is often described.

The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation has been in the process of updating the photo section of the website. There are more photos of primary disease and new ones of skin metastasis. Coming soon will be a patient's journey from diagnosis through treatment, in pictures.

The organization welcomes photos from patients who are willing to share and we're particularly interested in expanding the photo section to include a broader range of skin tones and ethnicities. Photos are posted anonymously to protect confidentiality. Hopefully this is a valuable resource for those who have worrisome symptoms and need guidance.
