Breast Cancer LumpA cancerous lump can be identified by its hardness and irregular margins and surface. Furthermore, a cancerous breast lump is immobile due to its fixity with the underlying structures.

On the other hand a benign breast lump is soft with smooth margins and surface with at least some degree of mobility within the breast tissue.

It is always advisable to see your doctor and get a mammograph whenever you notice a lump in your breast.
