Cause and solutions


In this week's series of tweets, I wanted to cover a little about some of the lesser-known symptoms of breast cancer and what some of the treatment options may be.

Did you know? A lump in the breast isn’t the only sign of breast cancer. Look out for skin changes, nipple discharge, or swelling. Find out more about the signs and symptoms at https://www.cancercenter.com/cancer-types/breast-cancer/symptoms

Did you know? Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare but aggressive form of the disease. Watch for redness, swelling, or warmth in the breast.

Did you know? Most breast cancers start in the ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma) of the breast.

Did you know? Breast cancer treatments have come a long way. From surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy to targeted therapies, hormone therapy and immunotherapy, there are more options than ever. The most suitable will depend on the type, stage, and characteristics of the cancer.

Did you know? Surgery is often the first-line treatment for breast cancer, especially in early-stage cases. Advances in reconstructive surgery have allowed women who undergo mastectomies (removal of the entire breast) to feel more confident and empowered post-treatment.
