New research highlights importance of breast cancer symptom awareness
Research presented at the recent cancer conference held in Liverpool highlighted the importance of raising awareness of other breast cancer symptoms, particularly as women with other symptoms to a lump are not seeking help as quickly as those women who present with a breast lump.
Other breast cancer symptoms to be aware of include:
- nipple abnormalities
- pain in the breast and/or nipple
- skin changes
- shape abnormalities
- infection in the breast
- breast inflammation
- swollen arm or armpit
