Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore

Breast Lumps

According to breastcancer.org, 1 in 8 women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. Detecting breast cancer early could potentially save thousands of lives each year. Common signs and symptoms of breast cancer can include a new lump or mass in the breast. Other signs may include swelling, skin irritation or dimpling. If you notice any breast changes, talk to your doctor. Putting off a doctor’s visit could delay treatment and affect your outcomes. Be sure to conduct frequent self-examinations and report any changes you find to your doctor.
