Early symptoms and signs of breast cancer

Breast cancer is a major threat to women's health, and the identification of its early symptoms and precursors is crucial for the early detection of the disease. These symptoms include but are not limited to breast lumps, nipple discharge, changes in breast skin and shape, and enlarged axillary lymph nodes. The appearance of these symptoms may indicate the occurrence of breast cancer, but may also be caused by other breast diseases. If any abnormal breast symptoms occur and the symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take targeted examinations and treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Breast lumps are one of the most common early manifestations of breast cancer. They are usually painless, hard, and have irregular edges. Once discovered, you should seek medical attention in time to clarify the nature of the lump.

2. If nipple discharge occurs, especially bloody, serous or watery discharge in non-lactating women, you should be alert to the possibility of breast cancer and seek medical attention as soon as possible for further examination.

3. Changes in the breast skin, such as dimple sign, orange peel-like changes or skin satellite nodules, may be signs of breast cancer invading the skin and require prompt medical attention for diagnosis.

4. Changes in breast shape, such as nipple retraction, breast elevation or local bulge, are also possible symptoms of breast cancer. The appearance of these symptoms indicates that the disease may have progressed to a certain extent, but active medical treatment is still needed.

5. Swollen axillary lymph nodes, especially hard and non-tender lymph nodes, may be a manifestation of breast cancer lymph node metastasis. In this case, lymph node dissection should be considered for treatment, combined with other treatment methods for comprehensive treatment.

There are many early symptoms and precursors of breast cancer, but timely medical treatment, examination and evaluation by doctors are the key to early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. During the treatment process, patients must follow the doctor's instructions to use drugs, such as chemotherapy drugs such as docetaxel injection, targeted therapy drugs such as trastuzumab injection, etc., to ensure the effectiveness and safety of treatment. At the same time, maintaining a good attitude and actively cooperating with treatment are also important factors to improve the treatment effect.
