That may be a symptom of the breast infection, cyst or even cancer. In this situation, a specialist to refer to is an oncologist or a breast surgeon. The application of warm compress might give just the temporary relief of the pain, but it is critical to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Hi, I have a doubt, is there any specific reason for which immunotherapy is not recommended in the early stages of any cancer?
Chemotherapy works by stopping or blocking cancer cells from growing and immunotherapy works by boosting up a patient's immune system to find and then attack cancer. Though immunotherapy is gaining popularity but still it is in growing stage.
Chemotherapies have been key to cancer treatment from a very long time with all established and compiled data regarding the effects and side effects thus making doctors more confident about it in comparison to immunotherapy which is still newer. But gradually it is proving itself in some cancers as preferred line of treatment. Consult an oncologist for clear understanding.
Hope our answer helps you.

You first need to get evaluated by an oncologist. Let him decide the stage of cancer, type of cancer and start treatment accordingly. Right treatment on right time helps to heal and also improves quality of life. The treatment for throat cancer largely depends on the size of the cancer, stage of cancer, age of patient, his overall health.

Worried I have cancer to many systoms
Male | 57
Some symptoms like losing weight, lumps, and feeling tired often make us fear cancer. But lots of other factors can also cause these signs. Weight changes, lumpy areas, constant fatigue – these might be worrisome, yet they don't necessarily mean cancer. Sure, cancer remains a possibility if symptoms persist. Many other reasons exist for such symptoms. If concerned, consult a doctor – they'll provide guidance.
