The most common sign of breast cancer is a lump or thickening in the breast. Other signs include:
- change in the size or shape of the breast,
- discharge from the nipple, or
- change in the color or feel of the skin of the breast or nipple (dimpled, puckered or scaly; warm, red or swollen).
It’s important to note that there may be no warning signs or symptoms. Breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and regularly scheduled mammograms are vital in the screening and early detection of the disease.
