How does breast cancer usually begin?
In most cases, the pathology develops almost asymptomatically, i.e. the girl does not bother at all.
The very development of a malignant tumor begins with the fact that one or more adjacent cells of the glandular tissue of the breast begin to divide abnormally quickly. As a result, a tumor is formed, which eventually increases in volume. It must be said that such a violation, like breast cancer, develops quite quickly.
When palpation in the chest, a small diameter seal is found, which most girls simply do not notice or detect by chance.

- constantly feel the chest for the absence of nodules, seals;
