Will breast cancer definitely cause lumps? Six common manifestations of breast cancer

Breast cancer is a high-incidence female malignant tumor. Many people think that breast cancer must first have a lump. In fact, this statement is completely wrong. Many patients do not have a lump when they are examined for breast cancer. Although breast lumps provide conditions for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, I would like to consult experts about the key to judging breast cancer. Is it necessary to touch the lump before it can be diagnosed as breast cancer? It is understood that there are about 50,000 new breast cancer patients in China every year, and about 20,000 women die from breast cancer every year. If you think that breast cancer can touch the breast lump, you are wrong. Breast cancer can also occur without a lump. Not long ago, we received two breast cancer patients without lumps. It can be seen that breast cancer may not necessarily touch the lump. The key to prevention and control is early detection and regular physical examinations. Sister Luo, 62, is from Chenzhou and is a retired teacher. The hospital recommended further examination of the right breast calcification furnace found during a physical examination the year before last. But she thought that she had right mastitis at the age of 17, which might be an old disease, and no obvious lump was found, so she did not pay attention. Last June, when she took the physical examination again, color Doppler ultrasound and molybdenum target examination found that Sister Luo had a calcification furnace in the right breast, and she went to the Provincial Cancer Hospital for a detailed examination. After the physical examination, Sister Luo did not have a lump, but after further examination by magnetic resonance imaging and molybdenum target, it was found that there were indications for biopsy of the lesion in the right breast, and then through magnetic resonance positioning, the biopsy was clearly diagnosed as ductal carcinoma with small furnace infiltration. Coincidentally, 47-year-old Sister Li is a farmer. A month ago, she found that some light red liquid often overflowed from her right nipple, but she did not touch the lump. She thought it was inflammation. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs were ineffective after a week. At this time, Sister Li went to our hospital for examination. There were no abnormalities in the color Doppler ultrasound and molybdenum target examinations, and no lumps were found in the physical examination. In the subsequent breast ductoscopy, it was found that Sister Li had new organisms in her breast ducts, which facilitated the resection of the lesion duct under the positioning of the breast ductoscope and guidewire catheter, and the biopsy was diagnosed as breast ductal carcinoma. Combining the above two clinical cases, it is reminded that women with breast cancer may not be able to touch the lump. For example, breast ductal carcinoma only manifests as calcification, nipple discharge, and bleeding on mammography; nipple eczematoid carcinoma manifests as nipple itching, insect bites, burning, and eczematoid changes; some breasts only manifest as thickening of glandular tissue. 9: It is recommended that adult women, especially those with high-risk factors (such as family history of breast cancer), in addition to regular physical examinations, if they have the above manifestations, they should be regarded as breast lumps, early detection, and early treatment.
