summary

It has been several days, but the chest pain is uncomfortable. I touch my hairstyle when I take a bath. There is a small lump in my chest. I went to the hospital to have an examination. The result is that I got breast cancer. What are the differences in the staging of breast cancer? Today, let me share with you how to judge which stage of breast cancer is.

How to judge which stage of breast cancer

First: when the tumor is accompanied by inflammation, it can have distending pain or tenderness. If the advanced tumor invades the nerve or axillary lymph node, it may cause shoulder swelling and pain when compressing or invading the brachial plexus.

Second: although some patients with early breast cancer have not yet been able to touch a clear lump in the breast, they often have local discomfort, especially in postmenopausal women, sometimes they feel mild pain and discomfort in one side of the breast, or heavy and sour swelling in one side of the shoulder and back, or even pull the upper arm of the side.

Third: breast shape changes: visible swelling of the skin at the tumor, some local skin orange, and even edema, discoloration, eczema like changes. The nipple is near the center with nipple retraction.

matters needing attention

I think the treatment effect of breast cancer is better than that of other malignant tumors. The possibility of early cancer cure is higher, and breast can be preserved. Now the breast conserving rate of Taiwan and Singapore in China is about 70%, that of the United States is 50%, and that of China is only 3%. This is related to the economic conditions, treatment conditions, aesthetic consciousness, educational level, social and psychological factors of Chinese people.
