Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, and it's important to be aware of the symptoms and risk factors associated with the disease. Early detection can help improve your chances of successful treatment. Symptoms include a lump in one or both breasts, dimpling of the skin, nipple discharge, changes in size or shape of the breast, pain in the breast or armpit area, redness or scaliness around the nipple, or a rash on the breast. It's also important to have regular mammograms and clinical breast exams. Risk factors for breast cancer include age, family history, obesity, hormone replacement therapy, and certain genetic mutations.
