In patients with metastasis, bone pain, swelling and enlargement of lymph nodes, shortness of breath or jaundice may also be seen. Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. Most women who develop breast cancer are over ۵۰ years old, but younger women can also develop breast cancer. About ۱ in ۸ women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. If diagnosed in the early stages, the chances of recovery are very high. For this reason, it is very important that women regularly check their breasts for any changes and always have any changes done by a breast surgeon.
