Besides cervical
cancer, breast cancer is the most heartless and invasive cancer in women
causing pain and miseries to blameless mothers all over the globe. Breast
cancer is the type of cancer that develops from the breast cells. Often it
starts from the inner lining of the milk ducts deep in your breast. This
malignant tumor simply termed breast cancer can then spread to other parts of
the body if not notified early enough. Breast cancer stages range from early,
curable breast cancer to metastatic breast cancer, with a variety of breast
cancer treatments. The vast majority of cancer occurs in females however; male
breast cancer is not uncommon and must be taken seriously.
Symptoms are not
limited to:
·
Painless lump in the breast that persists after your menstrual
cycle.
·
A change in size or shape of the breast.
·
Discharge from a nipple.
·
Pain or tenderness in the beast.
·
A noticeable flattening on the breast. An area that is
distinctly different from any other area on either breast.
·
A change in the nipple, such as a nipple retraction, dimpling,
itching, a burning sensation, or ulceration.
·
Swelling in the armpit.
·
A scaly rash of the nipple

Breast self-exam and
mammography can help find breast cancer early when it is most treatable.
