What are the symptoms of breast cancer recurrence

summary

My aunt suffered from breast cancer five years ago, because it is early, so she chose the surgical treatment, the surgical treatment is relatively smooth, and the recovery of the operation is also better, as time goes by, she will be cured. When I visited her some time ago, she told me that her breast cancer had relapsed again, and this time it was more serious. Let me tell you about the symptoms of recurrence.

What are the symptoms of breast cancer recurrence

First, we know that nipple fluid can be physiological or pathological. The incidence of nipple discharge during non pregnancy and lactation is about 3% ~ 8% It can be colorless, milky white, light yellow, brown, bloody, etc., and it can also be water sample, blood sample, serous purulent; the amount of discharge can be more or less, and the interval time is not the same. Generally, the discharge of advanced patients is more serious. At this time, smear cytological examination can be carried out for nipple discharge. If breast cancer relapses, the most obvious symptom is swelling and pain.

Second, the skin changes of breast cancer are related to the depth of the tumor and the degree of invasion. The mass is small, deep, and the skin is mostly unchanged. The mass is large, shallow, and adheres to the skin earlier, making the skin appear concave. If the cancer cells block the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels, causing skin edema and forming orange peel like degeneration, it is a late manifestation. If breast cancer relapses, there may be some similarities with the early symptoms of breast cancer, so we must pay attention to it.

Third: breast mass is the most important manifestation of advanced breast cancer symptoms, generally occurs in the upper part of the breast. Especially, we should pay more attention to the breast mass of adult women. There are great differences in the shape of the masses. It is generally considered that the shape is irregular, the edge is not clear, and the texture is hard. In the early stage, the cancerous mass is confined to the breast parenchyma and can be pushed, but it is not as active as the benign tumor. Once it invades the fascia or skin, the mass can not be pushed, and the disease stage is relatively late. If breast cancer relapses, the more common is this kind of symptom. In clinical medicine, this kind of symptom has some similarities with the symptoms of advanced breast cancer.
