Breast Cancer Symptoms And What You Need To Know

Enlargement Of One Breast

In addition to redness and swelling, quite a few women may experience the enlargement of one breast. Some women may experience the enlargement of one breast due to breastfeeding, pregnancy, or hormonal changes, but it can also happen when a woman has breast cancer. Specifically, inflammatory breast cancer is rare, but an aggressive form that affects one to five percent of all breast cancers. Inflammatory breast cancer causes the cancerous cells to block the lymph nodes near the breasts, so the lymph vessels in the breast can not properly drain. Instead of forming a tumor, this cancer causes the breasts to swell, and in some cases, one breast may become more inflamed and swollen than the other if the cancer is specifically in one breast.
