What are the early symptoms and signs of breast cancer?

Early symptoms and precursors of breast cancer include breast lumps, breast skin abnormalities, nipple discharge, etc.

1. Breast lumps:

The most common symptom of early breast cancer is a breast lump, which is usually unilateral and has irregular edges and a rough surface. The lump is not easy to move and is easy to be ignored because it is painless. A small number of patients may have hidden pain.

2. Breast skin abnormalities:

Breast cancer can easily invade the surrounding local tissues. If the tumor invades the glands and ligaments of the skin, it will cause the skin to dimpled. If the lymphatic vessels are blocked, it will appear orange.

3. Nipple discharge:

Some breast cancers may also experience nipple discharge in the early stages, usually unilaterally, which may be watery, bloody, or serous.

Lymph node enlargement, nipple or areola abnormalities may also occur. Seek medical attention promptly. Early active surgical treatment has a good prognosis. Usually, pay attention to regular physical examinations and maintain a relaxed and happy mood.
