Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, and one of the most preventable. It’s also a relatively common disease, meaning that many people are likely to experience it at some point in their lives. Knowing what to look for is key when it comes to detecting breast cancer early. In this article, we will discuss the three most common signs of Breast Cancer, and how you can take action if you notice any of them.

Symptoms Of Breast Cancer

• Most women experience some form of breast changes during their lifetime, but if you’re concerned about something, schedule a doctor’s appointment. Here are the most common signs of Breast Cancer:
• A change in your menstrual cycle or bleeding that’s not normal.
• A lump or swelling in your breast that doesn’t go away.
• Difficulty breathing or feeling short of breath when you exercise.
• Red streaks (called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS) on a mammogram image of your breasts. This means cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes yet but could do so at any time. Treatment may include removal of the lump/swelling and radiation therapy directed at the tumor site.
• Persistent pain in one or both breasts that does not go away with medication or rest.

How To Check For Breast Cancer

There are many ways to check for breast cancer, but the most common are checking for a lump or an increase in size, feeling soreness or heaviness in the breast, and finding changes in breast discharge. If you think you may have breast cancer, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Where Is Breast Cancer Usually Felt?

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, and it’s also one of the deadliest. In fact, it’s estimated that by 2030, cancer will be the second leading cause of death in women worldwide. Although Breast Cancer Awareness Month is over, there are still things you can do to keep yourself safe from this disease. In this blog post, we will explore where breast cancer is typically felt and how you can keep yourself from getting it. From lifestyle habits to preventive measures, read on to learn as much as you can about cancer prevention.

Breasts

Cancer is most commonly felt in the breast, but it can also be felt in other parts of the body. The breast is where the cancer cells are most often found.

Skin

Cancer is most commonly felt on the skin around the breasts. The skin around the breasts can feel different depending on where the lump is located. The skin around a breast lump may feel hard, tender, or smooth.

Nipples

Breast cancer is usually felt as a lump or pain in the breast. The area around the nipple may also be affected.

Mammary Gland

• Breast cancer is most commonly felt in the breast but can also occur in other areas of the body near the breast. The skin around the breast is usually one of the first places to show signs of breast cancer. Other common places where cancer may be found include:
• Underneath the arm (called axillary lymph nodes)
• In or around the collarbone (called supraclavicular lymph nodes)
• On either side of the chest wall (called mediastinum)
• In or around the naval (navel) area
• In or around the neck
• Behind and below the bra line

Breast Cancer Symptoms

Common breast symptoms include a lump in the breast, a change in the amount of milk production, redness, pain in the breast, and discharge from the nipple.

If you notice any of these signs and symptoms, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.

How To Detect Breast Early

Cancer is diagnosed when breast tissue or a lump changes shape or size, does not go away or comes back after being gone. Breast cancer can be felt on either side of the breast. The most common places where breast cancer is felt are around the nipple, areola (dark circle around the nipple), under the muscle on the side of the breast, and in the middle of the breast.

Treatment Options For Cancer

There are many treatment options for cancer, depending on the stage of the disease, a patient’s age, health history, and other factors. Some treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of these. Treatment choices may also vary depending on the type of cancer.
