A tumor in the breast may be serious and may indicate breast cancer, which requires prompt medical evaluation and treatment.
The first stage, or Stage 1, of a breast tumor is characterized by a small tumor that may or may not have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Breast tumors may be checked through self-exams, clinical breast exams by a healthcare provider, and imaging tests like mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs.
A Stage 4 breast tumor is when the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body such as the bones, liver, lungs, or brain.
Breast tumors start when breast cells grow abnormally and uncontrollably, forming a mass or lump in the breast tissue.
Breast tumors commonly develop in the upper outer quadrant, and also near the armpit.
You may check for breast tumors at home by performing regular self-exams, feeling for lumps or changes in the breast tissue.
