The rates of breast cancer vary from country to country - about one in eight women will get breast cancer during their lifetime in the US and the UK.

乳腺癌的发病率在不同国家有所区别，在英美，每8位女性当中就有1人会患乳腺癌。

英国每年确诊的患者大约有55000人，每天约150人。乳腺癌在女性中更为常见，平均每870个男性中才有一人患病。

Medical experts recommend women be aware of what their breasts normally look and feel like, so they can be aware of any abnormal changes.

Changes in the outline or shape of the breast, especially those caused by arm movements or by lifting the breast

Changes in the look or feel of the skin, such as puckering or dimpling

Any new lumps, thickening or bumpy areas in one breast or armpit, with or without pain, that differs from the same part of the other breast and armpit

胸部或腋窝一侧出现与另一侧相同位置不同的肿块、增生或凹凸不平的区域，可能伴有痛感，也可能没有。
