Is there a connection between inverted nipples and breast cancer?

Sometimes: Having inverted nipples chronically or over a long time does not have a connection with breast cancer. But the new onset of nipple inversion can be associated with a breast mass and breast cancer. New breast changes that you see should be evaluated by your doctor.

Yes. But: If the nipple was always inverted, no connection. It is the normally everted nipple that converts to inverted that raises the red lantern of worry. Many cancers arise in dense tissue, and as it grows it draws the nipple inward. Imaging stil needed to identify the source and bipsy the kind of treatment needed.
