Breast lump: Early evaluation is essential

Content

If you find a breast lump or other change in your breast, you might worry about breast cancer.

That's understandable. But breast lumps are common, and most often they're noncancerous (benign), particularly in younger women. Still, it's important to have any breast lump evaluated by a doctor, especially if it's new, feels different from your other breast or feels different from what you've felt before.
