Breast cancer in the left breast (centre right) of a 27-year-old woman. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Symptoms include painless lumps in the breast, a dark discharge from the nipple, and an indentation of the nipple. Early diagnosis can be made by mammography or self-examination. The cancer can be effectively treated by surgery followed by a course of radiotherapy or anti-cancer drugs to destroy any remaining cancerous cells. This presentation also shows erythema (reddened skin) and an inverted nipple. | |
