Breast lumps can be divided into benign and malignant

According to statistics in recent years, more than 1 million women worldwide suffer from breast cancer every year. The incidence of breast cancer in China's large cities ranks first or second among female tumors. The breast is not an important organ for maintaining human life, and breast cancer itself is not fatal, but breast cancer cells can be transferred to important organs such as the lungs, bones, liver, and brain through blood or lymph, which will seriously threaten the patient's life.

All women's breasts can feel uneven and even lumpy when touched. Some of these are normal breast bulges and some are breast lumps. Before menstruation, the breast bulges become more obvious and easier to touch.

Breast lumps can be benign or malignant. The vast majority of breast lumps are benign. There are many types of benign breast lumps, such as breast hyperplasia.

Malignant breast lumps include breast cancer and breast sarcoma. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the breast epithelial tissue, and a malignant tumor that occurs in the interlobular tissue of the breast is called a breast sarcoma. Breast cancer has become a common malignant tumor in women and is the main "killer" that threatens women's physical and mental health.
