Breast cancer:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Warning signals of possible breast cancer include:
❑a lump or mass in the breast (a hard, stony mass is usually malignant)
❑ change in symmetry or size of the breast
❑ change in skin, thickening, scaly skin around the nipple, dimpling, edema (peau d'orange), or ulceration
❑ change in skin temperature (a warm, hot, or pink area; suspect cancer in a nonlactating woman older than childbearing age until proven otherwise)
❑ unusual drainage or discharge (a spontaneous discharge of any kind in a nonbreast-feeding, nonlactating woman warrants thorough investigation; so does any discharge produced by breast manipulation (greenish black, white, creamy, serous, or bloody.) (If a breast-fed infant rejects one breast, this may suggest possible breast cancer.)
❑ change in the nipple, such as itching, burning, erosion, or retraction
❑ pain (not usually a symptom of breast cancer unless the tumor is advanced, but it should be investigated)
❑ bone metastasis, pathologic bone fractures, and hypercalcemia
❑ edema of the arm.
