The warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women. The most common symptoms are a change in the look or feel of the breast, a change in the look or feel of the nipple and nipple discharge.
In most cases, these changes are not
cancer. For example, breast pain is more common with benign (not cancer) breast conditions than with
breast cancer. However, the only way to know for sure is to see your
provider. If breast cancer is present, it is best to find it at an early stage,
when the chances of survival are highest.
Many women may find that their
breasts feel lumpy. Breast tissue naturally has a bumpy texture. For some
women, the lumpiness is more pronounced than for others. In most cases, this
lumpiness is no cause to worry.
If the lumpiness can be felt
throughout the breast and feels like your other breast, then it is probably
normal breast tissue.
Lumps that feel harder or different
from the rest of the breast (or the other breast) or that feel like a change
are a concern and should be checked. When this type of lump is found, it may be
a sign of breast cancer or a benign breast condition (such as a cyst or fibroadenoma).
See your health care provider if
you:
- Find a new lump or any change that feels different from
the rest of your breast.
- Find a new lump or any change that feels different from
your other breast.
- Feel something that is different from what you felt before.
If you are unsure whether you should
have a lump checked, it is best to see your provider. Although a lump may be
nothing to worry about, you will have the peace of mind that it has been
checked.
Nipple
discharge
Liquid leaking from your nipple (nipple
discharge) can be troubling, but it is rarely a sign of cancer. Discharge can
be your body's natural reaction when the nipple is squeezed.
Signs of a more serious condition,
such as breast cancer, include discharge that:
- Occurs without squeezing the nipple
- Occurs in only one breast
- Is bloody or clear (not milky)
Nipple discharge can also be caused
by an infection or other condition that needs medical treatment. For these
reasons, if you have any nipple discharge, see your health care
provider.
What are benign breast conditions?
The term benign breast conditions (also known as benign breast diseases) describes many noncancerous disorders that can affect the breast. Your health care provider may also use the term fibrocystic change to describe a range of benign breast conditions.Some benign breast conditions can cause discomfort or pain and need treatment. Others do not need medical treatment. Many benign breast conditions mimic the symptoms of cancer and need tests (and sometimes a biopsy) for diagnosis. Though the thought of breast cancer is scary , most biopsies find a benign breast condition, not cancer. Benign breast conditions can occur in both women and men.
Types
of benign breast conditions
There are many benign breast
conditions. Some of the more common conditions include:
- Hyperplasia
- Cysts
- Fibroadenomas
- Intraductal papillomas
- Sclerosing adenosis
- Radial scars
These conditions differ from each
other in how the cells look under a microscope. For example, hyperplasia cells
look different from fibroadenoma cells. If you are diagnosed with a benign
breast condition (or are told you have a fibrocystic change), it is important
to find out which type you have.
