Ask if there is a lump in the breast. Is it cancer?

Breast cancer can be caused by a lump in the breast.

Cancer refers to malignant tumor. If it grows in the breast, the tumor size will gradually increase as the disease progresses. Due to the hard texture of the tumor, the patient can touch a lump when touching the breast. However, mastitis, breast hyperplasia, breast lipoma and other diseases can also cause this symptom. Therefore, patients cannot judge whether it is cancer by a single clinical manifestation. It is recommended to improve imaging examination and pathological examination to make a clear diagnosis.

If a lump is found in the breast in daily life, it is necessary to seek medical advice in time to clarify the specific cause, so as not to delay treatment and cause adverse consequences.
