Malignant neoplasm of the breast is commonly referred to as Breast cancer. Symptoms can vary among individuals, but some common signs of breast cancer include:
- A new lump or mass in the breast or underarm (armpit).
- Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast.
- Nipple changes, such as inversion (turning inward) or discharge.
- Skin changes on the breast, like redness, dimpling, or pitting.
- Unexplained breast pain.
- Swelling or thickening of a portion of the breast.
It's important to note that not all breast lumps or changes indicate cancer, but any unusual changes in the breast should be evaluated by a doctor. Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer can improve the chances of successful treatment. Regular breast self-exams and mammograms are essential for detecting breast cancer in its early stages. If you suspect any breast abnormalities, it's crucial to consult with a doctor for a proper evaluation.
