Despite advanced treatment methods, breast cancer is still the single most common cause of death in women aged 35 to 69. These data indicate the importance of prevention and early detection of breast cancer.
In addition to the lump, which can be the first visible symptom, pay attention to these changes...
#1 Change in breast texture
"A hard patch of skin that feels thicker than it should be or nipples that discharge may be a symptom of breast cancer," says Dr. Joseph Weber, an oncologist. Sometimes with breast cancer, it happens that the channels inside the breast are blocked, which leads to changes in the skin, so the breast can look like an orange peel.
#2 Nipples change shape
Breast cancer can cause changes in the nipples such that they are drawn in or protrude. This is usually due to tissue growing inside the breast causing changes in the appearance of the breast and nipple.
#3 Nipple discharge
Another abnormality that accompanies breast cancer is the appearance of a discharge from the nipples that is not milk. This phenomenon is often not a consequence of breast cancer, but if you have noticed that the discharge appears without touching the breast, it is important to see a doctor immediately.
#4 Swelling and redness
Along with inflammatory breast cancer, the first symptoms appear, which you can recognize by red skin (the result of inflammation) and swelling, reports Beauty and Health.
