Breast cancer causes breast pain in women who have the disease.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that breast cancer causes breast pain in women who have the disease?

Partly. Several clinical sources list pain among symptoms reported by women with breast cancer, though most attribute it to treatment, metastasis or surgery rather than the disease itself. One large study of women presenting with breast pain found carcinoma in only 0.6%, indicating breast pain is rarely caused by breast cancer.
