Oncologist Questions Breast Cancer

Are there any specific symptoms of breast cancer?

I am a 40 year old woman and I recently underwent a complete body checkup to rule out any abnormalities. Everything seemed normal. However, there runs a history of breast cancer in my family and I am worried if I am susceptible to being affected by the disease too. What are the early symptoms of breast cancer?

Most of the times, there are no symptoms just seen on mammograms or ultrasound. If anyone was < 50 with breast cancer, you can get genetic testing to ensure you do not have a genetic risk of breast cancer.
