A member asked:

I wanted to know when you have breast cancer does the lump hurt when you touch it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Pain is not a common presenting symptom in patients with breast cancer. Though it can be, it is not common. A tender lump could be a cyst, or (also uncommon) an infection (more common in breastfeeding patients). Definitely a good idea to see your dr and have an exam, find out if you need any imaging done, .
