Cancer of the mammograms? There is no such thing. There are different kinds of breast cancers, like DCIS or invasive DC or lobular breast cancer. There are different types and therefore different medical terminologies.

Here are your classifications of breast neoplasms (cancers - but more widely accepted terminology in the health field):
There are either benign or malignant neoplasms.
Under benign neoplasms of the breast one can develop either papillary adenoma (papilloma) or fibroadenoma.
Under malignant neoplasms one can develop intraductal carcinoma, infiltrating ductal carcinoma, intralobular carcinoma, or infiltrating lobular carcinoma. Whenever you see carcinoma the general rule is it is malignant in nature. Malignant in nature has a very poor prognosis.
