Signs of Breast Cancer | Dr. Durgatosh Pandey | Manipal Hospital Delhi

Breast health is an essential part of overall well-being, and recognising early signs of breast cancer can be lifesaving. In this video, we asked women about symptoms that should prompt a visit to the doctor, and one response mentioned itchiness or pain as possible signs. Dr. Durgatosh Pandey, Head of Oncology Sciences & Consultant - Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospital Delhi, explains that the most common symptom of breast cancer is a painless lump. Other symptoms include bloody nipple discharge, skin thickening, and ulceration. He emphasises that even without symptoms, early detection through self-exams and screenings like mammography is essential for better outcomes.
