What are the early symptoms of breast cancer

First: mass. The outer upper quadrant of breast is the most common site of breast cancer. The mass is usually painless, single, irregular, mostly solid, hard, and less active. Local skin changes. "Dimple sign" of breast skin is an important sign, which is caused by the involvement of Cooper's ligament or the adhesion of tumor and skin. When the cancer cells blocked the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels, orange skin edema, varicose veins and satellite nodules could appear in some cases.

Second: nipple changes. When the lesion invades the nipple or subareola, the fibrous tissue and ductal system of the breast may be shortened due to tumor invasion. Pulling the nipple can make the nipple incline to the side of the tumor, and the further development of the disease can make the nipple flat, retract, sag, and even completely retract under the areola, and the nipple can not be seen. Nipple erosion is also an important sign of breast cancer.

Third: nipple discharge. Mammary duct, especially large duct epithelial hyperplasia, inflammation, bleeding, necrosis and tumor lesions can occur nipple discharge. Discharge can be five colors, milky white, light yellow, brown, bloody, etc., can be water, blood, serous or purulent, breast cancer is more common in bloody, often found for patients with contaminated underwear.
