Red Flags for Breast Cancer II

  • Most women don’t have any symptoms at diagnosis of breast cancer, which typically follows abnormalities at breast imaging detected through screening programs
  • However, approximately 1 in 6 women with breast cancer present with symptoms other than a breast lump
  • Of note, women with non-lump breast symptoms often delay seeking help, which is concerning as longer intervals to diagnosis have been associated with lower survival rates
  • In the United States, approximately 6% of tumors are metastatic at presentation, which not rarely are diagnosed in patients with neglected tumors
