Early detection of breast cancer can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes, so it’s essential to be aware of the signs and symptoms. Common symptoms include a new lump in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, unexplained pain in the breast area, nipple discharge (other than breast milk), and changes in the skin, such as dimpling or redness. Regular self-exams and mammograms are key in spotting these changes early. If you notice any unusual symptoms, consult your doctor promptly. Educate yourself and stay vigilant—early detection saves lives.
