Several major breast cancer diagnosis methods

After suffering from breast cancer, many people usually don't know it at first, so the symptoms of early breast cancer are not very obvious. So, what are the diagnosis methods of breast cancer ? Next, let's learn more about it in detail from the following article.

1. Breast cancer can be diagnosed from the indentation of the skin surface; the tumor near the nipple can pull the nipple towards the tumor; the nipple is inverted, etc. If the tumor is large, the entire breast tissue can shrink and the tumor will bulge out significantly. If the tumor continues to grow, it will form the so-called "orange peel" change. These are important signs of breast cancer.

2. When breast cancer develops to the late stage, the surface skin is invaded, and skin nodules may appear. In some cases, the skin of breast cancer patients may break down and form ulcers. The cancer may invade the pectoral fascia and pectoral muscles, causing the tumor to be fixed to the chest wall and difficult to move. Therefore, this is also a diagnostic criterion for breast cancer.

3. Lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients is often manifested as swollen lymph nodes in the ipsilateral axillary. When breast cancer is first diagnosed, it is scattered, painless, hard, and small in number. Later, the number of swollen lymph nodes increases, and they adhere to each other and become fixed to the skin or deep axillary tissue. A small number of breast cancer patients may have contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis.

The above is a detailed description of the diagnosis of breast cancer. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of breast cancer in this regard and cure breast cancer in time. If you have other questions about breast cancer, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
