Breast and Ovarian cancer


Breast and Ovarian cancer.


Breast cancer Signs and Symptoms

There are several signs that can indicate breast cancer. A woman who notices any of these should immediately see her doctor for an evaluation:
  • Lump
  • Swelling
  • Skin irritation, dimpling, or thickening
  • Nipple pain or sudden inversion of the nipple
  • Redness, scaling, or inflammation of the breast or nipple
  • Abnormal discharge
These symptoms can can also be associated with benign breast conditions, so it is important not to panic if you experience these symptoms. Instead, consult a doctor for further evaluation
