Breast cancer: 4 early signs every woman should know.

Not all breast changes mean cancer—but some signs should never be ignored. Early detection can make a big difference.

1. Lump in Breast or Armpit
A hard or growing lump, especially in the armpit, should be checked.

2. Changes in Shape or Size
Unusual swelling or one breast looking different than the other.

3. Skin Changes
Redness, dimpling, or skin that looks like orange peel.

4. Nipple Changes
Discharge, pain, or changes in appearance.

Regular self-checks and screenings help catch issues early. If something feels off, don’t wait—get it checked.
