Common signs and symptoms of breast cancer include:
See your Dignity Health doctor as soon as possible if you have these symptoms or other changes in your breasts.
Cancer screenings for women, such as a mammogram, can find an abnormality in the breast before you can feel it. If a routine screening mammogram shows you have a breast lump or breast cyst, our doctors may recommend a diagnostic mammogram to take closer images of area. Other tests, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound, are painless ways to create pictures of the breast and its structures.
Test results guide you and your doctor’s next steps, including treatment. Noncancerous, or benign, results may require no further treatment. Sometimes, your doctor may recommend a biopsy to test a small tissue sample for cancer.
Early detection of breast cancer remains the most important action for all women. Talk to an expert at Dignity Health Central Coast today about breast cancer signs and symptoms.
