How hard are breast cancer lumps?

The hardness of breast cancer lumps varies from person to person. If it is in the early stage of breast cancer, the lump may be relatively soft; in the late stage of breast cancer, the lump will be relatively hard.

Breast cancer lumps can be felt and may feel like nodules or small stones, which are harder than the surrounding tissue. In some people with early breast cancer, the tumor cells are usually small and the tumor tissue is loose, so the lumps may be relatively soft. If breast cancer has developed to the late stage, the tumor cells may increase and form denser tumor tissue, and the lumps may be harder at this time. The hardness of the lumps varies from person to person depending on the severity of the disease.

Breast cancer is not the only cause of breast lumps. Some other benign diseases can also cause breast lumps, such as breast hyperplasia, breast cysts, etc. If you find a lump or abnormality in your breast, it is recommended to seek medical attention for a breast examination in time. Only through the evaluation of a professional doctor and further examination can you accurately determine whether it is breast cancer.
