Breast Cancer Screening
Quality is a priority for CommunityCare
Why It Matters
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States.
But it doesn’t have to be. Routine screening for breast cancer beginning at age 40 can save lives!
Symptoms
Different people have different symptoms of breast cancer. Some people have no signs or symptoms at all. It is important for you to know the symptoms of breast cancer.
- New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit).
- Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin.
- Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.
- Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area.
- Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.
- Any change in the size or the shape of the breast.
- Pain in any area of the breast.
- Redness and unusual warmth in the breast.
If you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, be sure to see your doctor right away!
They may be caused by something other than cancer. The only way to know is to see your doctor.
