What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is the uncontrolled growth of healthy cells. The cells form tumors in breast tissue. This diagnosis can be overwhelming due to its various types and stages. It requires a tailored approach to treatment and support. Schneck’s expert team guides individuals through diagnoses and treatment.

Breast Cancer Symptoms

Recognizing signs of breast cancer is crucial for early detection. Common symptoms include lumps, dimpling, and breast pain. We recommend regular self-exams to familiarize individuals with their breast anatomy. This way, they recognize abnormalities before they spread further. Schneck emphasizes the importance of knowing these signs and seeking prompt medical attention.
