Important to know
- Early breast cancer often causes no pain
- Screening (mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs when appropriate) can detect cancer before symptoms appear
- Men can also get breast cancer, though it’s less common
When to see a doctor
If you notice:
- Any new or unusual breast change
- A symptom that lasts more than 2 weeks
- Something that just doesn’t feel “normal” for your body
…it’s worth getting checked. Early detection greatly improves outcomes.
Medical Tests & Exams
