What are the complications of breast cancer

In recent years, breast cancer has become one of the major diseases that endanger our female friends, which has brought great distress and pain to women. In order to prevent the deterioration of this disease, female friends should understand the complications of breast cancer and achieve early detection and early treatment.

1. A small number of breast cancer patients may have varying degrees of tenderness or nipple discharge in the early stages. Breast cancer masses grow rapidly. The breasts may have "orange peel-like" changes, the skin on the surface of the tumor may be sunken, the nipple may be tilted toward the direction of the tumor, and the nipple may be inverted. In the late stages of breast cancer, lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis may cause a series of other symptoms.

2. Breast cancer patients may develop "tumor loss of appetite-cachexia syndrome" in the middle and late stages. Loss of appetite is both the cause and clinical manifestation of cachexia. Symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, anemia and fever may occur, and severe cases may be life-threatening.

3. In the late stage of breast cancer, lymph node metastasis may occur. The ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes may swell, and the number of swollen lymph nodes continues to increase, and they adhere to each other to form a mass. A few patients may have contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis. In the late stage of breast cancer, distant metastasis may also occur. Breast cancer may metastasize to the lungs, causing chest pain, pleural effusion, shortness of breath, etc. Spinal metastasis may cause severe pain in the affected area or even paraplegia, and liver metastasis may cause jaundice and hepatomegaly.

The above are the complications of breast cancer. I hope that all female friends will pay more attention to them.
