A member asked:
Is it possible to have breast cancer without lumps? can other things factor into it such as indentation, nipple changes, etc.?

See breast doctor.: Dimpling of the skin and/or nipple inversion are both breast changes that can be associated with breast cancer, therefore, i recommend that you see your primary care doctor for a referral to a breast specialist. Depending on your age and examination findings, they may want to get a mammogram +/- ultrasound. Of course, there are many false alarms, but it's better to prove that it's not a cancer.

Breast cancer: Yes, lumps do not have to be present. All of the things you mentioned are possible signs or symptoms of breast cancer or other changes in the breast.
