Patient's Query

My one breast is bigger than other have a 18 yr long bigger Brest side armpit light pain and swelling have a 25 days

Breast Cancer

Answered by Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan

It is a fact that breasts can differ slightly in size, which is normal. However, in case of a case when one side of the breast is too big, painful, or swollen, you must be concerned. This may be a result of hormonal changes, cysts, or an infection. It is highly recommended that you visit an oncologist to get it checked and find out the right treatment.

As per sonography report is sates -.

(ACR type II) No obvious focal spiculated mass lesion, retraction of tissues or cluster of microcalcifications is seen in either breast to suggest the presence of malignancy. No axillary lymph nodes are noted. Sonomamography screening: Both breast consist of mixed fibroglandular and fatty tissue. No SOL is noted. No duct ecatia is noted. IMPRESSION: No significant abnormality in both breasts. (BIRADS 1). Suggest-Follow up after 1 year for routine check up. Is there any case of worry

Female | 52

According to the tests, there’s no evidence of any major problem such as cancer in either breast, which is fantastic news. The tiny calcification found in the left breast could have resulted from an old infection or inflammation. Currently, there’s no cause for alarm but it’s essential to have another checkup next year to be safe. In case you observe any unusual changes in your breasts before then, please let your doctor know.

I'm 23 yr old. I've been experiencing pain and burning inflammation sensations under my left breast right below the nipple for 2 days now. there's no symption visible apart from swelling but i can feel some hard cyst like structure below the nipple. Please help!

Female | 23

You might have mastitis, a condition causing breast pain, swelling, and inflammation. That hard cyst-like lump could be an abscess - a pocket of infection. Mastitis happens when milk ducts get blocked, bacteria infect the area, or engorgement occurs. Applying warm compresses and gently massaging the spot might relieve discomfort. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's wise to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and potential treatment.

I have breast cancer, but there are no mutations in the genetic test in 70 genes, what could cause cancer?

Female | 28

Breast cancer can have various causes, and not all cases are linked to genetic mutations. Factors like age, family history, hormones, reproductive history, etc. can also contribute to breast cancer risk. It's a complex disease and personalized treatment plans are required. Consult with an oncologist for accurate guidance.

I am 18 years old female and I've been feeling a lump in my right breast for as long as I can remember and it's not paining, I am afraid if I've breast cancer what should I do?

Female | 18

You are nervous because of a swelling in the right breast. It is encouraging that you are so keen on your body. Not all breast lumps mean cancer. Some lumps might be hormone-related or cysts. Cancer may cause the growth of rather stiff and painless lumps. If your lump has been there for a long time and doesn't hurt, you should let an oncologist check it.

I'm 19 and I'm a female I have a tumor in my left breast, I don't know when it appears exactly but it's been two years since I noticed it, earlier I had a kind of acne in my breast but I'm not sure if it is the same one, it was big, brown and hurts when I press it but it disappeared by the time, now the tumor get bigger than before and became so painful even without touching it, I didn't notice any discharges or change in the skin yet, in addition to that I'm not able to go and check it in my current location so can you please help me I can't take it anymore.

Female | 19

The painful breast mass you're experiencing could be due to various conditions, such as fibroadenomas or breast cysts, but it’s important to take note of it. However, if the lump has been present for two years and is now growing and becoming more painful, it's crucial to rule out more serious conditions like breast cancer. Since I can’t examine you in person, I strongly recommend seeking medical attention immediately, especially given these changes. The earlier treatment begins, the better the potential outcome.

Name sarani toppo world like to ask that recently diagnosed with TNBC .PDL-1 test report is positive Is it mandatory to go for immunotherapy

Female | 37

TNBC is a type of breast cancer that is difficult to treat. A positive PDL-1 test could mean that immunotherapy would be effective. You don’t have to, but it can help your immune system fight off cancer cells more effectively. Immunotherapy adjusts your body’s defenses so they can attack the cancer better. Make sure you discuss this with your oncologist though.

Hello sir, my wife told me yesterday that there is a lump around her breast. What further steps should I take to determine if it is cancerous or not? As of now, the lump around her breast is painless. Do I need to visit an oncologist?

Female | 41

As per my understanding your wife is having a painless lump in her breast which is the cause of concern. You consult a surgeon first and get your wife thoroughly examined and evaluated .Only after that will it be clear what her diagnosis is and the required treatment will be advised. Consult Breast Surgery doctors in Mumbai, or in any other city.

FNAC report- Site- Left breast lump Aspirate- Milky fluid Microscopical examination- Smears are hypocellular showing few aggregates of epithelial cells with vacuolated cytoplasm in a lipid rich foamy background. Bare isolated nuclei are also present in the background along with foamy macrophages. The nuclei of the cells have uniform chromatin, regular nuclear margins with abundant cytoplasm. Impression- Galactocele of left breast Note- Kindly correlate clinically

Female | 27

It looks like the problem is the galactocele located in your left breast. This is a lump that occurs naturally when the breast milk forms a lump. It can be after childbirth or while nursing and is not harmful. The symptoms are a painless lump and milky fluid when squeezed. Usually, treatment isn't needed, but if big, it can be removed. Keep an eye on it and let an oncologist know.

There are many discrete pleomorphic ductular epithelial cells also. Opinion Cytology suggests a Cellular fibroadenoma or Intraduct Carcinoma-FNAC, left breast lump. For clinical and mammographic correlation. Excision is advisable to differentiate cellular fibroadenoma from intraduct carcinoma

Female | 42

The fine needle aspiration report indicates a possibility of either a cellular fibroadenoma or intraductal carcinoma. These conditions can present as breast lumps and are usually benign or less concerning. It is normal to feel anxious, but the next step is important for clarity. An excisional biopsy is advisable to help differentiate between these two possibilities accurately. I encourage you to consult your oncologist for a thorough discussion and to explore any additional tests or imaging.

You I have had pain in only one breast since last December. The pain use to come and go. But it’s be straight pain for 4 months now. Sometimes I feel shooting pains and it goes into my armpit and down my arm. My nipple has a skin tag on it. My break has a discoloured spot about two inaches away from nipple. Not on my nipple but really close to it I have little little lumps where thick puss can come out. My nipple itself is not inverted but there is an indent right beside the nipple. Two months ago for about 3 days my gland on my neck right above my collar bone was swollen on the same side as my breast with problems

Female | 25

Pain, shooting pains, skin changes, lumps with pus, and swollen glands are all signs that need attention. All of these could be the result of different things, one of them being infections, the other one being breast cancer, but that is less common. It's vital to have an oncologist look at you and, if necessary, run tests for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

During two weeks, you've noticed a lump in your breast and taken medicine. This needs examination by an oncologist. Lumps may happen due to hormones, cysts, or severe problems. I suggest scheduling an appointment soon to get checked properly and learn the next steps.

Hello, my sister discovered she had a breast cancer in March 24, she had a successful lumpectomy in March 28, the pathology report said that tumor was 22 x 23 x 18 mm, has 5 involved lymph nodes, ER strong positive ( score 8 ), PR negative, HER2 negative... after that she did a pet/CT scan in May and the opinion of the radiologist written in the report was " patient with right breast cancer after surgery showing no evidence of hypermetabolic lesion distinctive for loco-regional resudal/recurrence of metastatic disease. I also attached the detailed results of the pet/ct itself. Now does it recommend for her to start chemotherapy or to do oncotype dx test first and btw she had 25 sessions of radiotherapy, so after the surgery ( in March) we had the radiotherapy in ( June) and now we don't know we have to start chemotherapy or do this test first since she has ER positive, HER2 negative and she's postmenopausal. She is 55 yrs old. Now I now your opinion, your advice and recommendations for us. And if she did the test and the result is law and chemotherapy is still recommended for her can she take at least a less intensive chemotherapy regimen.

Female | 55

From the information that you were able to share, it sounds like your sister had the necessary treatment done successfully for her breast cancer. Given that she is ERpositive and HER2 negative, the Oncotype DX test can be used to determine whether she requires chemotherapy. If the test indicates low risk, she might not have to undergo intensive chemotherapy. This check is based on the study of the genes present in cancer cells and helps to determine treatment methods. It is important to talk about these options with her oncologist so that the best solution can be found for her case.

I had 2 lumps ( fiberdenoma ) on my left breast and it's easily movable ...and I found the lump on November 2023 now also it has not gone ...now I was feeling a lump on my right breast also ...and it also easily movable...not having any health issues anything like that

Female | 22

Fibroadenomas are the predominant cause of these lumps. They are caused by hormonal changes and they are not cancer. They can be discovered on their own due to fluctuating hormones when a woman's period cycles. They are painless, moveable, and without any problem. To be perfectly sure, one should go to the hospital and get it examined thoroughly. Even if it is frequent the hospital may demand additional tests. Keep in mind not to freak out but you'll require a professional check for any changes in your breasts that are unaccountable by logic.
