Understanding the Symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) – Harsh Hospital, Himatnagar

 Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive type of breast cancer that often develops quickly and may not begin with a typical lump like other breast cancers. Instead, it causes noticeable changes in the breast, which can be mistaken for infection or injury. At Harsh Hospital, Himatnagar, we believe that awareness is the first step toward protection. Let’s explore what makes IBC different and how to recognize its early signs.

❗ What is Inflammatory Breast Cancer?

IBC is called “inflammatory” because it often causes the breast to look red, swollen, and inflamed. Unlike other breast cancers, IBC cells block lymph vessels in the skin, leading to visible and rapid changes.

🔍 Common Symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer:

• Redness or discoloration covering a third or more of the breast

• Swelling or enlargement of the breast in a short period

• Thickened skin texture, similar to an orange peel (peau d’orange)

• Tenderness, pain, or aching in the breast

• Flattened or inverted nipple

• Swollen lymph nodes under the arm or near the collarbone

• Sudden change in breast shape or firmness

These symptoms can progress quickly, sometimes within days or weeks.

👩‍⚕️ Why Early Diagnosis is Vital

Because IBC is aggressive, it can spread rapidly to other parts of the body. Early detection and timely medical intervention significantly improve the chances of successful treatment. If you experience any of the above symptoms, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider immediately.
