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.

Male | 14
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.

Hi am 18 years old female...and I feel hardness in my right side breast same like as lump and pain in my both breast ... sometimes there are some 1-3 red spots rashes upper my breast..
Female | 18
You may be undergoing symptoms associated with your breast health. The hardness of the right breast that you are feeling could be a lump, which might be produced by hormonal changes or the process of inflammation. The pain in both breasts may be caused by either hormonal fluctuations or wearing an improperly fitted bra. The red spots or rashes could be a result of a skin reaction. Regarding these issues, you should ensure you are wearing a bra that fits you properly and then seek consultation with an oncologist for further evaluation and guidance.

I have tender breast for a week what could be the problem
Female | 34
Breast tenderness might result from hormonal shifts. This frequently occurs during menstrual cycles or with certain medications. Sometimes, it indicates pregnancy or a breast infection. To reduce discomfort, wear a supportive bra. Apply warm compresses. Avoid caffeine. If tenderness persists or worsens, consult a gyneoclogist for evaluation.

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.

I am 32 years old. I have a 2-year-old daughter. My mother has breast cancer and is undergoing treatment. I noticed a mass in my breast 3 weeks ago. There are no signs of cancer. It is fixed, does not move. And I do not feel pain the size of a lentil. I was last evaluated in the Bırads 3 category 7 years ago. I have not been examined since. Are fibrocysts or fibroadenomas mobile cysts or masses?
Dişi | 32
Fibrocysts and fibroadenomas are typically non-cancerous. Usually, fibrocysts are bigger and can shift, like a grape, and they are associated with hormonal changes. Usually solid, can be movable, are fibroadenomas which are common in younger women. The outward signs may manifest as a lump in the breast. For sure, it is advisable to go to an oncologist.

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.

I am having extreme pain in my left nipple
Female | 22
It feels painful in the nipple due to a range of causes such as injury, infection, or sometimes even hormonal changes. Be sure to wear loose clothes so as not to make things worse and stop them from rubbing against anything that might irritate them further. You could also try applying a warm compress on it; this might help soothe the pain temporarily but if it’s still there after a while then please go see an oncologist about this as soon as possible.

Female | 16
Light discharge or whitish fluid from the breast could be due to various reasons, including hormonal changes, medication side effects, or in some cases, benign conditions like intraductal papilloma. It's advisable to consult a breast specialist or a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management based on your specific symptoms and medical history.

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.

Hello, I want to know if breasts are removed in Breast Cancer surgeries, or are there any other methods in which there is no need of removing the whole breasts?
Female | 46
The biology and behavior of breast cancer will be considered for planning the treatment of breast cancer. Treatment options also depends on several factors like the tumor subtype, hormone receptor status, stage of the tumor, patient's age, general health, menopausal status, and preferences. The presence of known mutations in inherited breast cancer genes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2. There are some general steps commonly preferred for treating early-stage and locally advanced breast cancer. Doctors generally recommend surgery to remove the tumor in breast. Though the goal of surgery is to remove all the cancer which is visible but microscopic cells sometimes remain behind. Therefore another surgery may be required. For cancers which are large or are rapidly growing, the clinician suggest systemic treatment with chemotherapy or hormonal therapy before surgery. This is called neo-adjuvant therapy. This helps in shrinking the tumor which is easy to operate; also breast can be preserved in some cases. After surgery it is important to check for recurrence. Then adjuvant therapy is advised. Adjuvant therapies may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or hormonal therapy When surgery to remove the cancer is not possible, it is called inoperable, and then Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and/or hormonal therapy may be given to shrink the cancer. For recurrent cancer, treatment options depend on how the cancer was first treated and the characteristics of the cancer. What will be the line of treatment in your case will depend on your clinical condition. You can take one more opinion to a clear understanding of your concerns. Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or any other city you find convenient.
