Breast cancer signs and symptoms
Early breast cancer usually doesn't cause symptoms.
But as the tumor grows, it can change how the breast looks or feels.
Most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump or mass
A mass that is painless, hard, and has irregular edges is more likely to be cancerous
But breast cancers can be tender, soft, or rounded. They can even be painful.
Other possible signs of breast cancer
Swelling of all or part of a breast (even if no distinct lump is felt)
Skin irritation or dimpling
Breast or nipple pain
Nipple retraction (turning inward)
Redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin
A nipple discharge other than breast milk
