What signs of breast cancer are there other than a lump?

Medically reviewed by Michelle Azu, M.D. on August 21, 2018 — Written by Rachel Nall, MSN, CRNA
A breast lump or mass is just one of the possible signs of breast cancer in men or women. Breast cancer can cause several additional changes to the skin on and around the breast. Anyone who notices any of these changes should see a doctor.
In some cases, breast cancer may not cause any symptoms, but a doctor will identify a mass on a mammogram. Screening for breast cancer as recommended by a doctor can help detect this condition in its earliest and most treatable stage.
In this article, we discuss some of the potential signs and symptoms of breast cancer that may occur without a noticeable lump in the breast.
All of these symptoms can also have a noncancerous underlying cause. However, people with these symptoms should speak to their doctor in case tests are necessary to check for both noncancerous and cancerous conditions.
