The video start with briefing of breast cancer treatment: the cancer along with a segment or larger area of normal breast tissue is removed in a segmental mastectomy.

The first breast cancer symptom is generally a lump. Since this is the first indication of breast cancer it is significant to have the ritual of performing a regular self exam.

Breast self-exam by visual inspection:
• changes in skin texture
• retraction or indentation of nipple
• discharge from nipple
• atypical fullness and/or puckering

Breast self-exam by manual inspection (using your hand and standing): with fingertips close together, gently probe each breast in one of these three patterns as show in this video.

Always remember that not all symptoms of breast cancer result in the disease. What is necessary is to take appointments and get yourself examined. Either needle biopsy or lumpectomy is the normal procedure to test for breast lump malignancy.

A needle is used to draw sample fluid and tissue from a lump to be studied. Also called a lumpectomy, an open biopsy is a surgical procedure in which all or part of a lump is removed for malignancy testing.
