Symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, anemia and fever may occur, and severe cases may be life-threatening.

2. In the late stage of breast cancer, lymph node metastasis may occur, ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes may swell, and the number of swollen lymph nodes continues to increase, and they adhere to each other to form a mass. A few patients may have contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis. In the late stage of breast cancer, distant metastasis may also occur. Breast cancer may metastasize to the lungs, causing chest pain, pleural effusion, shortness of breath, etc. Spinal metastasis may cause severe pain in the affected area or even paraplegia, and liver metastasis may cause jaundice and hepatomegaly.

3. A small number of breast cancer patients may have varying degrees of tenderness or nipple discharge in the early stages. Breast cancer lumps grow rapidly. The breasts may have "orange peel-like" changes, with the skin on the surface of the tumor sunken, the nipple leaning toward the direction of the tumor, and the nipple inverted. In the late stages of breast cancer, lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis may cause a series of other symptoms.
