Breast cancer is a prevalent cancer among women globally, and it can also affect men. The disease starts when breast cells grow out of control, forming a tumor that may be a lump or visible in scans. Early detection with regular screenings like mammograms significantly enhances the chances of effective treatment and healing.
Typical signs of breast cancer include a new lump in the breast or under the arm, alterations in breast size or form, skin dimpling, nipple discharge (excluding breast milk), and redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin. Although not all breast changes are cancerous, any unfamiliar symptoms should be checked by a doctor.
Treatment methods differ based on the cancer's type and stage, and may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and specific medication treatments. With early discovery and suitable treatment, survival rates for breast cancer are good, making awareness and periodic screenings vital.
