What Is Breast Cancer?<\/h2>
Breast cancer is something people hear about all too often, but never really expect will happen to them. Even for patients who are at a higher risk due to their genes and family history, the news that they have breast cancer often comes as a shock. Unfortunately, you can\u2019t control whether or not you will be diagnosed with breast cancer but you should know the signs of breast cancer; which could save your life. That\u2019s why Breast Cancer awareness and early detection is so crucial.<\/h5>
\u00a0<\/div>
Don\u2019t wait until Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October to do a self-breast exam or schedule a mammogram, breast cancer certainly won\u2019t. If you suspect something different is occurring in your breast, here are seven warning signs of breast cancer you should check for.[1]<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Warning Signs Of Breast Cancer :<\/h2>

Typically when you\u2019re told to conduct self-check-ups, you\u2019re instructed to feel for hard and painless lumps in your breast tissue. While this is a good way of checking for abnormal masses, it is also very limited and fails to bring attention to other ways your breast may be showing warning signs of breast cancer.<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Top 7 Signs of Breast Cancer:<\/h2>

Breast cancer can present itself in many different ways through a variety of symptoms. For example, you may find a suspicious lump that sticks out from the rest of the breast tissue, but the lump is soft instead of hard or rounded instead of irregularly sized, or even painful. These cases may also be signs of breast cancer and should not be ignored simply because they do not fit the \u201chard, irregular-shaped, and painless\u201d description. Here are some additional symptoms that may indicate beginning signs of breast cancer:<\/h5>
\u00a0<\/div>
1.Swollen lymph nodes under the arm or around the collarbone,
-Breast tissue covers the area under the arms and into the collarbone, and sometimes breast cancer can spread to the lymph nodes in these areas before the original breast tumor is even large enough to be felt.<\/h5>

2.Swelling of all or part of the breast,
\u2013 Even if you feel no distinct mass or lump, if you notice that any part of your breast is experiencing swelling, then it may be breast cancer.<\/h5>

3.Skin irritation or dimpling,
-This irritation and dimpling is sometimes referred to as looking like an orange peel would.<\/h5>

4.Breast or nipple pain.<\/h5>

5.Nipple retraction,
-You may feel like your breast skin is being pulled inward, and you may notice that your nipple is actually pulling inward too.<\/h5>
\u00a0
6.Redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin.<\/h5>

7.Nipple discharge,
-The discharge can include anything other than breast milk, and usually occurs without the breast being squeezed, or only on one breast.[1]<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

What To Do After Breast Cancer Signs Appear:<\/h2>

If you notice any of the aforementioned breast cancer symptoms on yourself, your next step should be scheduling an appointment to see your doctor. Your doctor will take a look at your breasts and conduct a visual and manual check to confirm that the signs of breast cancer are present. Then, they will likely call for further tests to be conducted, such as a mammogram, ultrasound, breast MRI, or biopsy.<\/h5>
\u00a0<\/div>
More Information on Breast Cancer Symptoms:
Self-checks for breast cancer are of vital importance, but if you are over the age of 40 then you should also be receiving annual mammograms, at least until the age of 70. Women over the age of 70 can opt to receive mammograms once every two years. To learn more about the warning signs of breast cancer, or to visit one of our women\u2019s imaging centers, please feel free to book an consultation today.[1]<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Who Gets Breast Cancer?<\/h2>

Men can get breast cancer too, but they account for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. Among women, breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed, after skin cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths, after lung cancer.<\/h5>
On average, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes. About two-thirds of women with breast cancer are 55 or older. Most of the rest are between 35 and 54.<\/h5>
Fortunately, breast cancer is very treatable if you spot it early. Localized cancer (meaning it hasn\u2019t spread outside your breast) can usually be treated before it spreads.<\/h5>
Once the cancer begins to spread, treatment becomes more complicated. It can often control the disease for years.[2]<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Breast Cancer Awareness Month<\/h2>

In a global effort to raise awareness on breast cancer, October has been designated as the Pink Month. The Pink Month is a month where efforts to educate those concerned about the disease, including early identification and signs and symptoms associated [3,4]<\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
