Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide in which affects both women and men. As you get older, the risk of getting the disease increases, but early detection saves lives.
Although most cases of breast cancer diagnosed at the ages of 40 and
older, those cases of illness in patients under this age are usually
more aggressive, so early detection of the early stages of the disease
is critical.
Early stages of breast
cancer does not cause pain and therefore it is important to have
awareness and knowledge of the body. Finding a lump is in fact the most
frequent finding indicating the presence of disease, but until this
stage the disease undergoes several stages of progression and sometimes
it takes even several years. Therefore finding a lump can be a sign of
an advanced stage of breast cancer within the body.
The American Cancer Society
advertises signs that require thorough investigation by a specialist.
It is important to remember that these signs are not definitive proof
that this is indeed breast cancer because they may indicate hormonal or
other health factors, so diagnosis and follow-up of an expert is
necessary. Obvious signs are: changes in breast structure, lump
appearance, changes of the skin or nipple and more. But there are
unusual signs that may also indicate the presence of the disease:
1. Itching, redness and pain
Sore breasts are sensitive during the menstrual cycle,
but in this case the sensitivity remains even after the monthly period.
In addition, swelling and warmth which are felt to the touch may
indicate a less known type of breast cancer – inflammatory breast cancer
which is diagnosed in 3% of all breast cancers diagnosed. The same type
of cancer can cause the chest to be swollen, itchy and painful. The
skin may appear scaly or has blue markers similar to haemorrhages. The
look can be like cellulite holes on the breast. Some women say they
thought they had an allergic reaction on the breast like tingling and
itching that don’t disappeared after a few days. It is important to know
that this type of cancer characterized by relatively rapid progress
which blocks the blood vessels that feed the skin which is what actually
causes redness, warmth and sensitivity.
2. Back pain
In many cases, before any other sign of breast cancer patients
feel back pain, usually in the upper back between the shoulder blades.
This pain is usually attributed to muscle pain, inflammation of the
spine or stretching of the tendon or ligament in the back. But it is
important to know that sometimes tumours develop deep the in breast
tissue in the chest and are actually felt in the spine or ribs. Another
risk is the possibility that there are metastasis or spread to the ribs
or spine.
3. Pain and tenderness in the armpit
According to studies, the first place breast cancer spreads is the
axillary lymph nodes. Just like the lymph nodes in the throat and neck
are a sign for a flu, so axillary lymph nodes may be the first sign
of the existence of breast cancer. Swollen lymph nodes in the armpit or
pain and tenderness may indicate the presence of tumour before it is
felt in the breast itself. Any pain in the underarm area is a sign that
should be tested, initially by the person itself in comparison to the
other armpit, and when there are questions or doubts, by a professional
expert. Sometimes there is a hard lump that is felt in the armpit and
adjacent tissues surrounding it, and it does not move when touched.
Another sign is thickened and dense tissue in comparison to the other
armpit. Breast tissue reach very close to the armpit, and sore spot may
indicate a number of other things then the development of a tumour. On
the other hand, what feels in the underarm area can turns out to be part
of the breast tissue, so medical evaluation is important in these cases
4. Nipple discharge or changes
One of the most common places for breast cancer is under the nipple.
The presence of a cancerous lesion may change the appearance of the
nipple, texture and feel (as well as color change, tenderness and
shape). Women describe decrease in sensitivity when touching the nipple,
particularly during intimate relations. Another sign is discharge from
the nipple of various types including bleeding, milk, clear liquid,
that don’t happen during breastfeeding. The reason given for this is
due the tumour being in the milk ducts near the nipple or behind it.
That causes the skin to jostle to one side, and the tumour itself may
cause irritation and inflammation that lead to various discharge from
the breast. Medical evaluation is needed of course, but it is important
to remember that most tumours are intrinsically benign, but early
detection and follow-up are necessary.
5. Changing shape: oval instead of a circle
popular belief among women all over the world
is that an easy to touch big hard lump close enough to the surface of
the skin is a sign of breast tumour. However, quite a few women describe
instead that they noticed one breast has elliptical shape than the
other. Other women reported progression of breast tissue on one side
down or to another side. Some women have felt a change in feeling or
appearance while wearing a bra. In addition, many women came to medical investigation when their spouse turned their attention to change in the shape. The best way
to detect such changes, that are not accompanied by pain or other
sensations, is to learn about the size and shape of your breasts.
Recommendation of breast cancer organizations is to sit in front of a
mirror and to look at the structure of the breast, by lifting the hands
and examining the variability of skin stretch
on both sides. Routine follow-up is necessary in this situation to be
able to notice change in configuration. Any of these signs require
consultation with a specialist who can give a real answer to the fear,
hoping of course that everything is fine, but on the other hand if a
person has breast cancer, early diagnosis in the early stages may save
lives.
