Patients with Breast Cancer at the advanced stage is sure to hear a death knell. This is the most unacceptable fact one cannot deny as there are no known ways to prevent breast cancer. Both men and women can suffer from breast cancer but women are more prone to it. The only way remains is to be aware of the incidence of breast cancer.
It is sad but true that when breast cancer develops it does not show any significant signs and when it shows it has already grown to an uncontrollable size. The first sign which is identified in the presence of lump. But having a lump is not the sure shot sign as the woman may feel lumpy and tender before she undergoes her monthly menstrual cycle.
The lumps can also be the benign cells or non-lethal cancer cells. Even pain that occurs not necessarily point out breast cancer. If there is a sudden change in the sensation of nipple, tenderness, sudden and unexplained change in the appearance of breast or nipple, the nipple turned inward into the breast, a lump in the breast or in the underarm area, the skin on the breast, areola or nipple becomes red, scaly, swollen and may look like an orange peel and fluid discharge or bleeding in the nipple all point towards breast cancer.
Apart from these signs men should look for enlarged lymph nodes, areola sore, and pain in the nipple. However all these signs can be early signs of something else and to determine the exact cause of these signs is to consult the doctor and verify.
