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.
