The first and most prominent sign of breast cancer is the forming of lumps in the breast. Routine self examinations are highly suggested to the monitoring of existing as well as new lumps. If you do feel that there is a lump or several lumps, consult a physician immediately. Your doctor will schedule a biopsy of the lump or lumps which will determine whether the cyst is cancerous or benign (non-cancerous). After determining the state of the lump he/she will then make a decision to either leave and monitor closely, or remove the lump. Please be aware that not all breast cysts are cancerous, and that seeing your doctor for regular exams as well as routine self examinations is the best way to prevent and treat such conditions.

What is a white lump on the back of a five year olds boxer dogs neck?
While this lump is probably benign, the chance of it being cancerous is too big to ignore. Take the dog to the vet immediately. A cancerous growth on the neck, if it is caught before it metastatises (spreads to other parts of the body, especially internally) probably has a fairly good prognosis as it would not be too difficult to remove all of the cancerous tissue. If you care about your dog, get it to the vet now while there is still a good chance that if it is cancer, it will be curable. I totally agree with the above poster, but wanted to add generally white lumps are called 'fatty lumps' but. this information should NOT deter you from getting your dog in to be sure this lump is non cancerous.
