The most common sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. For this reason, it is important to have any new breast mass, lump or breast change checked by a healthcare professional experienced in diagnosing breast diseases.

Additional Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer Can Include:

• A lump or thickening that feels different than the surrounding area
• Changes in the size, shape or look of the breast
• A bloody discharge from the nipple
• Changes in the feel or appearance of the skin or nipple
• An area that is distinctly different from any other area on either breast
• A marble-like hardened area under the skin

These changes may be found during a breast self-exam. If you notice any of these changes in your breasts, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
