Breast Cancer: Symptoms Every Woman Should Know
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. Knowing the possible signs and symptoms can help women recognise changes in their breasts and seek medical advice without unnecessary delay.
A breast lump is one of the most recognised warning signs, but breast cancer does not always present as a lump. Changes in breast size or shape, skin changes, ni**le changes or unusual ni**le discharge may also need evaluation.
Importantly, most breast changes are not caused by cancer. However, any new, unusual or persistent change should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.
