The symptom of breast cancer is a single, painless, progressively growing small lump in the breast. The lump is most commonly located in the upper outer quadrant, followed by the nipple, areola area, and upper inner quadrant. Let's talk about the specific symptoms of breast cancer .

A painless lump in the breast is often the primary breast cancer symptom that prompts patients to seek medical attention. The discharge can be colorless, milky white, light yellow, brown, bloody, etc.; it can be watery, bloody, serous, or purulent; the amount of discharge can be more or less, and the intervals between discharges are also inconsistent.

Other symptoms of breast cancer include flattened, retracted, and sunken nipples, which may be completely retracted under the areola and invisible. Sometimes the entire breast is elevated, and the nipples on both sides are not on the same level. Nipple erosion is also a typical symptom of breast cancer. The average doubling time of breast cancer cells is 90 days, and the average latent stage of the tumor is 12 years (6 to 20 years) before the tumor can be found clinically.

The symptoms of breast cancer are often a headache for many women. If breast cancer is not treated or medication is ineffective, it will gradually invade the following areas: lymph nodes, bones, lungs, liver, brain, pleural cavity, pericardial effusion, hypercalcemia, and spinal cord compression.
