Symptoms of Breast Cancer
Symptoms of breast cancer often vary from person to person. Some common symptoms are as follows:
- Skin changes – such as swelling, redness, or other visible differences in the breast(s)
- Shape or size changes, including an increase in size or change in shape of the breast(s); or changes in the appearance of one or both nipples
- Nipple discharge other than breast milk
- General pain in/on any part of the breast
- Lumps or nodes felt on or inside of the breast
Symptoms more specific to invasive breast cancer are as follows:
- Irritated or itchy breasts
- A change in breast color
- Increase in breast size (over a short period of time)
- Changes in touch (may feel hard, tender, or warm)
NOTE: These symptoms may be attributed to a number of conditions other than cancer. It is important to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis.
