Changes !: Warning signs of breast cancer can be a new mass felt in your breast, skin changes, or new nipple discharge. However the majority of breast cancers have no symptoms and are only detected on imaging. It is important to following your doctor's recommendation on how often to have your mammograms.

Many or none: Proper screening with self breast exams looking for new lumps, breast exams by your physician looking for skin or nipple chanes as well as masses or lymph nodes, and mammogram and ultrasound if needed are the best ways to pick up early stage breast cancer before it causes any symptoms. Once advanced it can cause many different symptoms throughout the body.
