Dr. Lee Pederson answered

Varies: Many times these days, there may be no symptoms, as the tumor is small and seen on screening mammogram. Some women feel a new lump. Sometimes there are changes to the skin of the breast, or retraction of the nipple. Sometimes bloody drainage comes from the nipple.
