Many symptoms are the basis for the diagnosis of breast cancer

Among breast diseases, most women should be aware of the occurrence of breast cancer. Most people do not know how breast cancer is diagnosed . Let's learn more about this from the following article.

1. The skin on the surface of the breast cancer tumor is sunken; the breast cancer tumor adjacent to the nipple can pull the nipple toward the tumor; the nipple is inverted, etc. If the tumor is large, the entire breast tissue can shrink and the tumor will bulge out significantly. These are one of the diagnostic bases for breast cancer.

2. When breast cancer develops to the late stage, the surface skin is invaded, and skin nodules may appear, and even the skin may break and form ulcers. The cancer may invade the deep layer, the pectoral fascia and pectoral muscles, causing the tumor to be fixed to the chest wall and difficult to move. These are very important for the diagnosis of breast cancer.

3. Lymph node metastasis of breast cancer is often manifested as swollen lymph nodes in the ipsilateral axillary. Initially, breast cancer manifests as scattered, painless, hard, and small in number, which can be moved. Later, the number of swollen lymph nodes increases, and they adhere to each other into a mass, and are fixed to the skin or deep axillary tissue. A small number of breast cancer patients may have contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis.
