Brustkrankheit

I received some records of the death of two of my female ancestors in Herford in the early 1700's. The records indicated that they died of 'brustkrankheit,' which I translate to 'breast disease.' For this period, would that have been pneumonia or breast cancer or some other illness?

Vielen Dank,
