- Breast and/or nipple changes
Most women are aware of the importance of looking out for lumps in the breasts, but there are other symptoms of cancer that should cause an alert as well. A red, sore or swollen breast could indicate inflammatory breast cancer; a rash that persists for more than a few weeks should also be looked at.
Another sign to watch out for is nipple discharge (unless you are breastfeeding), or if your nipples are normally pointed outward and begin to appear flattened or inverted.
