Many breast cancer patients experience: the breasts have a lump that was not before, and this lump may become cancer after all. Therefore, many health arrangements also recommend that women undergo regular self-examination, so that if cancer occurs, they can be detected and treated in advance. However, the Cancer Foundation website pointed out that 90% of the lumps are benign lumps that are simply treated with cysts, fibroblasts, etc.; and the signs of breast cancer are not just lumps. According to the health media Prevention, when the breast skin is sunken, rough and desquamated, or abnormal swelling, secretions and nipple depressions are all rare signs of breast cancer.
Breast lump is one of the most common symptoms. The study pointed out that 83% of women with breast cancer first found lumps. The opening discussion announced at the 2016 meeting of the National Cancer Research Institute pointed out that one out of every six women with breast cancer showed signs of a lump. The researchers pointed out that because these atypical signs are less known, ignoring these symptoms may slow down the patient's diagnosis.
Therefore, Aurora Health Care breast tumor surgeons in Milwaukee also believe that if you pay attention to any breast changes, you should bear the comments and treatment of professional doctors. Prevention briefly introduces the following four atypical signs of breast cancer:
1 Sinking/monotonous desquamation skin
Joseph Weber pointed out that breast skin is different from usual, and rough, monotonous desquamation, thickening, or depression may be one of the signs of breast cancer. In some cases of breast cancer, the pipes leading from the inside of the breast to the skin may appear blocked, causing changes in the skin condition, and the skin on the breast may look as rough as an orange peel.
US MD Anderson Cancer Center Therese B. Bevers pointed out that when raising his arms or rolling his arms forward, he will be more careful about the problem of depression. The depression may not be a significant hole, but sometimes it is more like an arc-shaped block with a relatively flat appearance.
2 Swelling
Even if the lump is not touched, it does not mean that the lump does not exist. Sometimes the lump may be located deeper in the breasts. Although it cannot be felt when touched, it may change the shape or scale of the breasts, which may cause pain. In recent research, 6% of women have this symptoms.
3 Nipple Change
Generally speaking, normal nipples should be outstanding outward, and in some cases, they will appear in the nipple alley. Perhaps it is a natural occurrence, or it may be related to breastfeeding, breast injury or surgery, breast infection or inflammation, and some breast cancers may also cause nipples to become trapped. Dr. Joseph Weber pointed out that this is generally due to the growth of the lump inside the breast, causing shape changes. In recent research, 7% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have reported nipple disorders. Therefore, when the nipple is trapped, you should also seek medical treatment and have a doctor diagnosed it to confirm the cause.
4 Nipple secretions
In addition to milk, some secretions can also occur in the nipple, and most of the secretions do not represent the existence of cancer. However, if secretions occur without touching or kneading of the nipples, especially bloodshot, or when they occur on one side, it is best to immediately undergo examination and diagnosis by a professional doctor to avoid affecting breast health.
