A member asked:

Does your breast hurt if you have breastcancer?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not commonly: Breast cancer may often be a firm hard painless lump that is felt on breast examination. Pain alone is not necessarily a sign of breast cancer. You should see a doctor for an examination, and depending on your age and medical history, a mammogram or breast ultrasound may be indicated.

Sometimes: Occasionally, breast cancer can cause a painful lump - but most of the time breast pain is not related to breast cancer. Check with your primary or gyn doc.
