Breast cancer progresses from early stages (small, local tumours) to advanced stages (spread to lymph nodes or other organs). Early signs include lumps, changes in breast shape, skin dimpling or nipple discharge. Treatment varies by stage and may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or targeted therapy. Survival rates are higher when detected early. With support from Surgical Oncology Solutions, understanding symptoms, stage-based treatment and regular screening helps improve outcomes and boost chances of recovery.
