What's the response to breast cancer

First: the breast can touch the broad bean size of the active mass, 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, and even edema, discoloration, eczema like changes. The nipple is near the center with nipple retraction. Nipple discharge: when the discharge is bloody or serous, further examination should be done.

Most of breast cancer is painless mass, a few cases with varying degrees of pain or tingling. If the tumor invades the ligament between the gland and the skin to shorten it, the skin depression may appear, like "dimple", so it is called "dimple sign". Because cancer cells blocked lymphatic vessels, resulting in edema, breast skin orange skin like changes, also known as orange skin sign. In breast masses, breast cancer should be differentiated from benign diseases.

Third: axillary lymph node enlargement occult breast cancer, that is, breast physical examination can not touch the mass of breast cancer, often with axillary lymph node enlargement as the first symptom. In recent years, about 46% of breast cancer patients in our hospital have axillary lymph node metastasis. That is to say, the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes are swollen, hard, scattered, and can be pushed. In the future, they will gradually fuse with each other, adhere to and fix with the skin and surrounding tissues.
