The event to support breast cancer research

We often hear myth like this "Breast cancer always comes in the form of a lump "
and its reality is a lump may indicate breast cancer (or one of many benign
breast conditions), but women should also be on the alert for other kinds
of changes that may be signs of cancer.These include swelling; skin irritation or dimpling; breast or nipple pain; nipple retraction (turning inward); redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin; or a discharge other than breast milk.Breast cancer can also spread to underarm lymph nodes and cause swelling there before a tumor in the breast is large enough to be felt.
On the other hand, a mammogram may pick up breast cancer that has no outward
symptoms at all.

“Inflammatory breast cancer is associated with signs and symptoms that
are not the same as the classic breast cancer symptoms that women learn
about,” said Dr. Kari Wisinski, medical oncologist at the University of
Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center's Breast Center.

Women with a rare type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer
(IBC) rarely have a breast lump.
