         <description><![CDATA[Breast cancer isn't always detected with the naked eye. Its early signs are often hidden within your breast tissues. Changes to your breasts that you do see may not be the result of breast cancer at all. Lumps and bumps may come and go, as your hormones ebb and flow, and as you age.  Breast skin may change texture due to sunburn, radiation treatments, or infections that cause rashes.  So how would you know for sure whether or not a lump, skin rash, or skin dimpling is benign or cancerous?  ]]></description>
