Signs & Symptoms of Breast Cancer
Symptoms of breast cancer can vary. Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain and may have no symptoms at all. Some breast cancers never cause symptoms or other indications of a problem, which is why early and regular breast cancer screening and diagnosis is recommended by the American Cancer Society.
