Spot Breast Cancer Early | Cancer Research UK
Breast cancer is treatable, but it's vital to spot the disease early so that treatment has a better chance of success.
Our video talks about the signs of breast cancer, and why spotting breast cancer early is important.
Breast lump
The first symptom of breast cancer for many women is a lump in their breast. But 9 out of 10 breast lumps (90%) are benign. That means they are not cancers.
But if you spot a lump, see your doctor straight away.
Change in size, shape or feel of a breast
Your breast might look bigger or have a different shape than usual. It might feel different. Many healthy women find that their breasts feel lumpy and tender before their period.
Get to know the size, shape and feel of your breasts. See your doctor if you notice any changes or anything that is unusual for you.
Breast pain
Breast pain is very common and it’s not normally due to cancer. You might get pain in one or both breasts for a while, which goes after a time. There might be no obvious reason for this pain, even if you have a lot of tests.
See your doctor if you have breast pain.
