Rancic made the announcement on NBC's Today Show this morning, admitting she will undergo surgery later this week.
She said: 'Through my attempt to get pregnant through IVF, we sadly found out that I have early stages of breast cancer. It's been a shock.'
Rancic and her husband Bill were preparing to undergo a third round of IVF treatment after two failed attempts when a doctor asked her to have a mammogram.
She was initially resistant to the idea because she considered herself to young to be at risk, but the doctor demanded she undergo the test because the surge of hormones during pregnancy can accelerate cancer.
She explained: 'I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong. It was just a kick in the stomach.'
Recalling the moment she found out, Rancic said: 'I went into the hospital in L.A., when they came in to tell me, they said it pretty quickly, they just said, "I'm sorry, you have breast cancer."
'It's what you expect, but so much more, it was like, incredible instant sobbing and the world just crashed down around me. I couldn't believe it - 36 years old, no family history? I couldn't believe it.'
After her lumpectomy, Rancic will undergo six weeks of radiation therapy.
She says her husband has been a 'unbelievable' source of support.

This poor girl can't see to get a break! May God help her. She needs to EAT something, how are you going to get pregnant and you weigh 90lbs?
dang girl....may God be with you....does she really weight 90lbs? dang girl...please eat o!
Dang..this really got to me. This woman has been through too much. It is well. I believe she will fight it.
ajalah travels please have u ever seen anybody that suffers from cancer?????????????????????? food is the last thing on their mind, the radiation will not enable her eat cause she will loose the taste in her mouth, she also can not take vitamins cause the cancer will feed on it, if a size 18 woman were to get cancer she might end up a size 10 or 8 at the end of it all so please for the lack of nothing to say about the story don't make a very INSENSITIVE, IGNORANT, AND HEARTLESS statement like that. this is coming from someone who knows about suffering from cancer. worse of all cause of the radiation she will not be allowed to have her bath for the duration of the radiation treatment cause water and radiation don't mix
