What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
Battling a progressive disease starts with being armed with essential information.
Inflammatory breast cancer is an aggressive and fast-growing cancer that occurs when cancer cells invade the skin and lymph vessels of the mammary gland. In most cases, this type of breast cancer produces no distinct tumor or mass, but makes the affected breast red, swollen, and tender.
What are the Symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
Although women are more susceptible to inflammatory breast cancer than men, it is important to understand that men can develop the disease, too. The common signs of inflammatory breast cancer in men and women are:
- Sudden change in breast size
- Breast redness
- Breast pain
- Breast skin dimpling
- Enlarged lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone
- Change in nipple appearance, such as becoming flat or retracting inside the breast
Inflammatory breast cancer symptoms are easily confused with skin infections, which are much more common causes of breast redness and swelling. If you suspect something is amiss with your breast health, seek prompt medical attention for an accurate diagnosis.
What are the Risk Factors?
Factors that hold the possibility of increasing your inflammatory breast cancer risk are:
- Increasing age
- Being diagnosed with benign breast conditions
- Personal and family history of breast cancers
- Unhealthy weight or obesity
- Testing positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2
- First pregnancy after the age of 30
- Treatment with certain hormone replacement therapy after menopausing
Discuss prevention with your doctor if you believe you are at an increased risk for breast cancer.
Diagnostic Tests for Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Early detection is key to improving your breast cancer prognosis and life expectancy. Your physician may order the following tests and procedures to make an accurate inflammatory breast cancer diagnosis:
- Digital mammography
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
- Breast ultrasound
- Surgical removal of a sample tissue or biopsy
