What is Breast Cancer?

It is a form of cancer that starts in the cells of the breasts.. Breast Cancer mostly occurs in women and is a rare complication in men. Symptoms of breast cancer might include a new lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple, and changes in the shape/texture. There might also be a difference in the skin’s color and texture around the breast tissue. The treatment options consist of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or surgery. Facts about breast cancer that are lesser-known - ***Alcohol*** - Alcohol consumption increases the risk of breast cancer. Women having 1 drink a day has a slightly higher chance of getting cancer. Females whose consumption is over 5 drinks a day have the chance to go up by one and a half times. ***Lumps*** - These are amongst the first symptoms seem. If a lady observes a new lump in the neck or the underarm area, they should visit a doctor and get examined. ***Obesity*** - Increasing weight increases the risk of cancer.

Annual checkups should be done, and every female should be aware of the symptoms to look out for. **Mammograms** are the earliest help - they are the first line of diagnostics that prove very helpful.
