Breast Cancer EarlyDetection and Diagnosis

Detection and Diagnosis

Cancer that starts in the cells of the breast is called breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women, after skin cancer. Men can also be affected by breast cancer, but it is more common in women.

Breast cancer is killing fewer and fewer people every year due to more vigilant detection. If people can detect and diagnose the disease earlier, it can be cured or handled better as new treatment methods are constantly being developed.

Breast Cancer Symptoms

Breast cancer symptoms start when cells in the breast grow in a way that isn't normal. From your breast, cells can move to your lymph nodes and other parts of your body. These cells divide more quickly than most cells and keep sticking together to form a mass or lump. Most breast cancer begins in the milk ducts (invasive ductal carcinoma). Breast cancer can begin in other breast cells or tissues or in the glandular tissue called lobules (invasive lobular carcinoma). Breast cancer symptoms are as listed below:

● Changes in nipple area

● Lump or growth in the breast that feels different from surrounding tissue.

● Changes in size, shape, or look of breasts

● Changes in skin of breasts, like dimples

● recently turned-out nipple

● Peeling, scaling, crusting, or flaking of coloured skin around areola or breast.

● Orange-colored spots or pits on breast skin
