What Are The Symptoms?

What are the Symptoms?


Generally the patient discovers a painless lump, typically found below the center of the breast. Most are not large. One study found that 51% of tumors found in males were less than 1.5 inch in diameter. However, when found, it is more likely to have spread beyond the breast area in males than in females. Early detection is critical. Men should report any of the following symptoms to their family physician:
