Early symptoms of breast cancer

There are generally no obvious symptoms in the early stages of breast cancer. Lumps are the most common symptom of breast cancer, most of which are discovered accidentally. The vast majority of breast cancer lumps are single, and occasionally there are multiple lumps. When the diameter of the lump reaches one centimeter, most lumps are irregular in shape, with an uneven surface and unclear boundaries. Most are relatively hard and relatively inactive, and generally there is no obvious pain or other symptoms. There are generally no changes in the skin and nipple areola in the early stages, and some breast cancers are also accompanied by nipple discharge.

How is stage 1 breast cancer treated?

Stage I breast cancer means that the disease is early and the peripheral metastasis is not obvious. It is an early stage of the disease. First of all, it is necessary to complete relevant auxiliary examinations to clarify the disease situation and physical fitness. Secondly, surgical treatment is performed to remove the diseased tissue and the nearby lymph node tissue at the same time, and then a pathological examination is performed to clarify the specific pathological type of breast cancer on the one hand, and whether there is peripheral lymph node metastasis on the other hand. Finally, according to the pathological type and lymph node metastasis, late radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, endocrine therapy, etc. are formulated to control and stabilize the disease as much as possible and prolong survival time.
