Early Detection Saves Lives

A breast lump is a mass or swelling that develops in the breast tissue. While a breast lump can sometimes indicate breast cancer, most lumps are benign (noncancerous). In fact, 8 out of 10 breast lumps are not cancerous.


If you notice a lump in your breast or under your arm, it is important to consult a healthcare provider promptly. Early evaluation ensures proper diagnosis and, if necessary, early treatment for better outcomes.

What Does a Breast Lump Feel Like?

  • A lump may feel like a frozen pea or lima bean
  • It may feel hard or firm, or different from surrounding breast tissue
  • Some lumps may be mobile, while others are fixed in place
  • Pain may or may not be present

Does a Breast Lump Mean Cancer?

 

Not always. Many breast lumps are caused by benign conditions, including:

  • Fibroadenomas (common in younger women)
  • Cysts (fluid-filled sacs)
  • Fibrocystic changes
  • Localized infections or inflammation
However, some lumps can be breast cancer, so timely evaluation is crucial.

Understanding Breast Cancer

 

Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow uncontrollably. It can begin in different parts of the breast:

  • Lobules: Glands that produce milk
  • Ducts: Tubes that carry milk to the nipple
  • Connective tissue: Fibrous and fatty tissue surrounding the lobules and ducts

Types of Breast Cancer

 

  1. 1. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC)
  • Begins in the ducts and spreads to surrounding breast tissue
  • Can metastasize to other parts of the body

2. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC)

  • Starts in the lobules and spreads to nearby breast tissue
  • Can also metastasize to other organs

3. Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS)

  • Early-stage cancer where abnormal cells are found only in the ducts
  • Non-invasive, highly treatable

4. Paget Disease of the Nipple

  • Rare form affecting the nipple and areola

Breast cancer can spread through blood vessels and lymph vessels, which is why early detection is critical.

When to See a Doctor

  • If you notice a new lump or swelling
  • If the lump changes size or shape
  • If there is pain, redness, or nipple discharge
  • If there is skin dimpling or puckering
Early evaluation can differentiate benign lumps from malignant ones and guide proper treatment.

Diagnosis of Breast Lumps

  • Clinical breast examination by a healthcare provider
  • Mammography – X-ray of the breast
  • Ultrasound – To distinguish cysts from solid lumps
  • Biopsy – Small tissue sample to check for cancer cells
