Breast Cancer Awareness: Signs to Watch For and When to Seek Help

Early detection can improve breast cancer treatment outcomes. Knowing what is normal for your breasts can help you notice changes early. Watch for a new lump or swelling, changes in breast size or shape, nipple inversion or unusual discharge, skin dimpling, or persistent changes around the breast or armpit. Not every lump is cancer, but every new or unusual change should be checked by a qualified healthcare professional. Clinical breast examinations and mammograms are important screening tools. Speak with a healthcare provider about the right time and frequency for screening based on your age and personal risk. Breast cancer can also affect men, although it is far more common in women.
