What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. It is one of the most common cancers affecting women, although it can also occur in men.

When detected early, breast cancer is highly treatable, and many patients can achieve excellent long-term outcomes with appropriate treatment.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment play a crucial role in improving survival rates and treatment success.

Common Symptoms of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, patients may notice:

Breast lump or thickening
Change in breast size or shape
Nipple discharge, especially blood-stained discharge
Nipple inversion (pulled inward)
Skin dimpling or puckering
Redness or swelling of the breast
Persistent breast pain
Lump in the armpit
Changes in breast skin resembling an orange peel

Warning Signs – Consult a Specialist Immediately

New breast lump
Persistent breast swelling
Unexplained nipple changes
Enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit

Early evaluation can lead to earlier diagnosis and more treatment options.

Risk Factors for Breast Cancer

Several factors may increase the risk of breast cancer:

Increasing age
Family history of breast cancer
Genetic mutations (BRCA1 and BRCA2)
Previous breast cancer
Hormonal factors
Obesity
Smoking
Alcohol consumption
Lack of physical activity
Delayed childbirth or no pregnancies

Having a risk factor does not mean you will develop breast cancer, but regular screening is important.
