A member asked:
Could i have breast inflammation that can lead to breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: Breast inflammation does not cause breast cancer. Hoeever, there is a rare form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer that can cause diffuse swelling and redness of the skin of the breast. Needs a physical examination with a doctor & mammogram.
