What symptom does breast cancer have

summary

My aunt was found to have breast cancer some time ago, and her right breast was affected. At that time, she had an operation under the doctor's advice. So today I'd like to introduce to you the symptoms of breast cancer.

What symptom does breast cancer have

First, the breast can touch the active mass of broad bean size, the texture is hard, generally no obvious pain, few dull pain or tingling; breast shape change: visible swelling of the skin at the mass, some local skin is orange peel, even edema, discoloration, eczema like changes.

Second, breast cancer will have nipples near the center with nipple retraction. Nipple discharge: when the discharge is bloody or serous, further examination should be done. Regional lymph node enlargement was the most common, especially in the ipsilateral axillary lymph node. 80% of the patients with breast cancer were diagnosed as breast masses. Patients often inadvertently found breast masses, mostly single, hard, irregular edge, less smooth surface. Most breast cancer is painless mass, only a few with varying degrees of pain or tingling.

Thirdly, skin changes caused by breast cancer can show a variety of signs. The most common is that the tumor invades the Cooper ligament, which connects the breast skin and the deep chest muscle fascia, making it shorten and lose its elasticity. Pulling the skin of the corresponding part, the "dimple sign" appears, that is, the breast skin has a small depression, like a small dimple. If the cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels, there will be "orange peel like changes", that is, there are many small pits on the breast skin, just like orange peel. In the late stage of breast cancer, cancer cells infiltrate into the skin along lymphatic vessels, glandular vessels or fibrous tissues and grow. Scattered hard nodules are formed in the skin around the main cancer focus, which is called "skin satellite nodules".

matters needing attention

Early breast cancer is generally treated by surgery. Surgery can directly remove the tumor, and there is no drug resistance and other radiochemotherapy. But we should pay attention to tonic after surgery. We can eat more milk, honey, eggs, beef, chicken, turtle, eggplant, porridge, mushrooms, fresh fruits and other foods that help to restore vitality, prevent metastasis and spread, and improve the treatment effect.
