Early Symptoms Of Breast Cancer
Tumors originating in the breast tissue can suggest breast cancer development although several forms of breast lumps are non-cancerous (benign). The disease is most prevalent in women but may also occur in men. Developing any cancer, including breast cancer, gives medical professionals and patients the best chance of slowing or eradicating the disease as early as possible. Recognizing breast cancer symptoms can help prompt diagnosis.
The common symptoms and signs include;
Lump in the Breast
The most commonly heard symptom of breast cancer is the discovery of a lump in the breast. This lump can be soft, or it can feel like a hard knot in the breast tissue. While lumps in the breast and the tissue around are common, and not always a sign of tumor growth, it is best to talk to a medical professional if they continue or expand. Lumps can sometimes not be detected until cancer progresses to its later stages. Small growths that are not felt in palpitation can sometimes appear in mammogram. A cancer lump is more likely to be an unpainful, rough mass of irregular edges.
