Breast Cancer Treatment Cost Inflammatory breast cancer is diagnosed in men only in very rare circumstances. In the past, women diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer had grim survival statistics; however, new approaches in treatment offer greater chances for survival than ever before. Symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include: • A breast that appears red, purple, pink or bruised • A tender, firm and enlarged breast • A warm feeling in the breast • Itching of the breast • Pain • Ridged or dimpled skin texture, similar to an orange peel • Thickened areas of skin • Enlarged lymph nodes under the arm, above the collarbone or below the collarbone • Flattening or retraction of the nipple • Swollen or crusted skin on the nipple • Change in color of the skin around the nipple These same symptoms can also indicate a breast infection called “mastitis.” Mastitis occurs most often in younger women who are breast-feeding. Mastitis causes a fever and is easily treated with antibiotics. Inflammatory breast cancer does not typically cause a fever, nor does it respond to antibiotics. About the Author:
