  1. Signs of Breast cancer www.oncologistdrseemasingh.com/

  2. A lump in the Breast A lump in the breast is a localized swelling, bulge, or bump that feels different from the surrounding breast tissue. Lumps can be caused by various conditions, including cysts, fibroadenomas (non-cancerous tumors), or cancerous tumors. It's important to note that not all breast lumps are cancerous, but any new lump should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

  3. A change in breast shape A change in breast shape can be a symptom of breast cancer. Breast cancer can cause the breast to swell, become larger or misshapen, or change in contour. This change may occur due to the growth of a tumor or the pulling of the breast tissue by the tumor, leading to a noticeable difference in the shape or size of the breast.

  4. Dimpling of the skin Dimpling of the skin in breast cancer, also known as "peau d'orange," is a condition where the skin of the breast appears dimpled, resembling the skin of an orange. This change in skin texture can be a sign of an underlying breast cancer, particularly inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).

  5. Fluid coming from the nipple Fluid coming from the nipple, also known as nipple discharge, can be a symptom of breast cancer, although it is more commonly caused by benign (non-cancerous) conditions. In breast cancer, nipple discharge may be bloody, clear, or another color. It can occur in any age group but is more concerning if it occurs without squeezing the nipple, if it is bloody, or if it occurs in only one breast.

  6. A red or scaly patch of skin A red or scaly patch of skin on the breast can be a symptom of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. In IBC, cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels in the skin of the breast, leading to a buildup of fluid and swelling. This can cause the skin to appear red, swollen, and pitted, resembling the texture of an orange peel. The affected area may also feel warm to the touch.
