Is breast cancer smaller than 1cm considered microcancer?

Breast cancer that is smaller than 1 cm is generally considered a microcancer. Microcancer refers to a cancer whose maximum tumor diameter does not exceed 1 cm. This type of cancer is generally considered a type of early cancer. It is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive appropriate treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor.

Breast cancers smaller than 1 cm may not cause obvious symptoms, or may only cause mild symptoms such as breast tenderness and nipple discharge. Microcancers grow and spread relatively slowly, and the treatment effect is usually better. For breast cancers smaller than 1 cm, they can be removed under the guidance of a doctor through breast cancer resection, modified radical mastectomy, etc., and can also be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to assist surgery under the doctor's advice to remove remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence.

Once abnormal symptoms or signs are found, it is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment in time. In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and a happy mood, which will help reduce the risk of breast cancer. At the same time, avoiding long-term high-level exogenous estrogen treatment, such as long-term use of contraceptives, will help reduce the occurrence of breast cancer.
