Breast Cancer
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control. It is the most common cancer in women worldwide, though it can also affect men. The cancer usually starts in the milk ducts or the lobules (glands that produce milk). Over time, these cancer cells can invade nearby healthy breast tissue and may spread to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis.
SYMPTOMS:
1. Lump in the breast:A hard, painless lump in the breast or armpit that may grow in size.
2. Change in breast size or shape: One breast becoming larger than the other or a change in its overall shape.
3. Skin changes: Redness, swelling, or a dimpled appearance of the breast skin, resembling an orange peel.
4. Nipple discharge:Discharge of blood or any unusual fluid from the nipple.
