Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and mainly affects women.

If you feel a lump in your breast, you should always get it checked by a GP. Most breast lumps are harmless but some can be serious.

See a doctor if you notice:

  • a lump in your breast or armpit
  • any other unusual changes in your breasts – such as the nipple turning inwards, dimpled skin or bloodstained nipple discharge

Changes in the breasts can be a sign of breast cancer. This is easier to treat if it's found early.

What happens at your doctors appointment:

The GP will look at and examine your breasts.

If they're not sure what's causing the lump, they'll refer you to a hospital or breast clinic for further tests.

These tests usually show that a lump isn't cancer.
