There is a wide range of growth that can be observed in sarcoma, which refers to cancer on the soft tissues and bones. Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors, and their rate of growth varies subject to various factors such as the specific subtype of sarcoma detected in an individual patient’s body, its location within that person’s tissue or organ composition. Some sarcomas grow slowly over time, others can develop rapidly. Earlier diagnosis results in better outcomes as early intervention and treatment are established. Regular medical guides, symptoms monitoring and testing are among the most important procedures for determining how much sarcomas develop or grow while helping to form an effective treatment plan designed specifically for a given patient. For a thorough check-up and cancer treatment, India has some of the best cancer hospitals that you can explore.

Hello, I'm a 22 year old recently visited a breast clinic in Bhopal. It's almost a month now I am having breast pain, swelling, and my left nipple was inverted more than usual. After the ultrasound I was just given a leaflet about fibroadenoma and she didn't explain. My left nipple has become much more inverted and sunken in and it takes a long time to emerge. Is this something that happens with cancer? I've been worried for months now that this could be cancer even though my doctor didn't seem concerned that it was. Because I am quite young and have no such family history of cancer maybe she overlooked the situation.

Swelling or lump in breast, inverted nipple, pain in breast and lumps in axilla should always be checked thoroughly. These are very common signs which can be seen in Fibroadenoma and also early stage breast cancers. Regular Mammography and biopsy is very important to assess the exact nature of disease. So we would suggest you to undergo a biopsy and visit oncologist to know the exact nature of swelling and it's treatment plan.

Female | 54

Having two glands in the neck could be due to many things, not just cancer. Sometimes, enlarged glands are the result of infections and other reasons too. Since your mom had breast cancer before, it's imperative to get it thoroughly checked out by a specialist to make sure everything is okay. It's always good to be cautious and keep an eye on any changes in the body, especially after you have already been cancer-free for a while. Voice changes and neck discomfort can be signs of several things, so it's best to get it checked by an oncologist.
