Explaining about identity and precaution of breast cancer, Dr Dinesh Ranga said that many breast cancer symptoms are invisible and not noticeable without a professional screening, but some symptoms can be caught early just by being proactive about your breast health. He said use light pressure to check for lumps near the surface, and firm pressure to explore deeper tissue. Any time you find a new or unusual lump in your breast, have your doctor check it. Most lumps aren’t cancer. Squeeze each nipple gently — if there’s any discharge, see your doctor
