It takes a long time for a cancerous cell in the breast to form a tumor and for a specialist to detect it during an examination or for it to be evident in a radiological examination. Women usually at least 1 cm. They can detect a mass that has reached its size, thanks to the manual control method. Nowadays, most breast cancers are diagnosed by the individual himself. Cancerous masses are relatively hard, have irregular edges, appear rough on the surface, and cannot be moved easily within the breast tissue. If the cancer has metastasized (spread) to distant organs, these spreads are rarely the first sign of breast cancer. The areas where breast cancer frequently spreads are the hip and spine bones, lung and liver.
However, some patients do not have any of these symptoms and breast cancer can only be detected by mammography. If you have at least one of the following symptoms, you should consult a specialist without delay.
A palpable mass in the breast or armpit (hardness, swelling)
Discharge from the nipple (bloody or transparent from a single channel)

Changes in the nipple skin (peeling, crusting)
Wound or redness on the breast skin
