What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer?
Early-stage breast cancer typically produces no symptoms
when the tumor is small and most treatable. It is
therefore very important for women to follow recommended
guidelines for finding breast cancer at an early
stage, before symptoms develop. When breast cancer
has grown to a size that can be felt, the most common
physical sign is a painless mass.41 Less common signs
and symptoms include breast pain or heaviness and
persistent changes to the breast, such as thickening,
swelling, redness, and nipple abnormalities such as
spontaneous discharge, erosion, inversion, or tenderness.
41 A woman should have any persistent abnormality
evaluated by her physician.
