Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. It is one of the most common cancers worldwide and can affect both women and men, although it is much more common in women.
Common signs and symptoms include:
A lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
Changes in the size or shape of the breast
Dimpling or puckering of the skin
Nipple turning inward
Unusual nipple discharge, especially if bloody
Diagnosis
Doctors may use:
Clinical breast examination
Mammography (breast X-ray)
Breast ultrasound
MRI (in some cases)
Biopsy (removing a small tissue sample for testing)
Prevention and early detection
While breast cancer cannot always be prevented, you can reduce your risk by:
Maintaining a healthy weight
Exercising regularly
Limiting alcohol
Not smoking
Attending recommended breast cancer screening (such as mammograms)
Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel and reporting any changes promptly
When breast cancer is found early, treatment is often very effective, and survival rates are much higher. Regular screening and prompt medical evaluation of any breast changes are important.
