Surgical oncologist Dr. Naveen Sanchety warns that breast cancer symptoms go beyond lumps, citing skin changes and nipple abnormalities as critical indicators.
Warning signs include unexplained changes in breast size or shape, dimpling or orange-peel skin texture, and persistent nipple discharge, especially if bloody.
Medical evaluation is advised for any persistent changes, though Dr. Sanchety notes that many symptoms may result from benign conditions rather than cancer.
