How to diagnose and prevent breast lumps?

Hello doctor,

I am 35 years old, and I have a lump in my left breast, which is painful sometimes. The nature of the pain is sharp and pricking. There is no redness of the skin and outward skin. But I am afraid it could be cancer later. What test can I do to diagnose my health condition? How can I prevent myself from getting breast cancer? I also want to know the potential risk factors associated with triple-negative breast cancer. Are there specific genetic factors or lifestyle choices that may increase the likelihood of developing TNBC? What are the recommended screening methods for detecting triple-negative breast cancer? How does it differ from other types of breast cancer in terms of diagnosis and detection? What are the current treatment modalities available for triple-negative breast cancer? Are there advancements in therapies or clinical trials that show promise in improving outcomes for individuals diagnosed with TNBC? Could you also please share the information on the prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer? What are the survival rates, and how do they compare to other subtypes of breast cancer?

Please explain.
