Breast cancer can begin with subtle changes that are easy to overlook.
Key warning signs include:
- Lumps in the breast or armpit
- Skin changes (dimpling, redness, thickening)
- Nipple changes or unusual discharge
- Changes in size or shape
Not all symptoms are cancer, but any persistent or unusual change should be checked by a doctor.
Early detection through self-exams and mammograms improves treatment outcomes.
