Warning signs of स्तन कैंसर

- A change in the size or shape of a breast
- Dimpling or puckering of the skin, like orange peel
- A nipple that turns inwards, or blood-stained discharge

How स्तन कैंसर is diagnosed
-
1
Breast examination
A doctor examines both breasts and the armpits.
-
2
Mammogram and ultrasound
Imaging shows the size and character of the lump.
-
3
Core needle biopsy
A small sample confirms cancer and tests hormone receptors (ER, PR) and HER2, which decide the drug treatment.
-
4
Staging scans
CT, bone scan or PET-CT checks whether the cancer has spread, mainly for larger tumours.
Treatment options
The right plan depends on the stage, the type of cancer and your overall health. Most patients receive more than one of these.
Surgery
Breast-conserving surgery removes only the lump with a margin; mastectomy removes the whole breast. Lymph nodes in the armpit are checked at the same time.
Chemotherapy
Given before surgery to shrink a large tumour, or after surgery to lower the chance of the cancer returning.
Hormone and targeted therapy
Tablets such as tamoxifen or letrozole for hormone-positive cancers, and HER2-targeted drugs for HER2-positive cancers.

Doctors who treat स्तन कैंसर
Common questions about स्तन कैंसर
No. Most breast lumps are not cancer, but every new lump should be examined and, if needed, tested with an ultrasound or biopsy.
Not always. Many women are suitable for breast-conserving surgery, especially when the tumour is small or shrinks with chemotherapy first.
It depends on the stage and type. Surgery and chemotherapy usually take 4 to 6 months, and hormone tablets continue for 5 years or more.
