Breast Cancer
What it is:
Breast cancer begins when cells in the breast grow abnormally, usually in the ducts or lobules. It affects both women and men, though it’s much more common in women.
Symptoms:
- A new lump in the breast
- Thickening in the breast or underarm
- Changes in breast shape
- Changes in the skin (dimpling, redness, or puckering)
- Nipple discharge
Breast changes are common and often not serious , but early checks save lives.
Diagnosis:
Screening tests such as mammograms, ultrasound, or biopsy can confirm if cancer cells are present.
Treatment:
There are different treatment options available, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. If you are diagnosed, your doctor will explain what’s best for you and guide you through the next steps.
