Breast Cancer Symptoms and Diagnosis
Breast cancer symptoms vary widely — from lumps to swelling to skin changes — and many breast cancers have no obvious symptoms at all. Symptoms that are similar to those of breast cancer may be the result of non-cancerous conditions like infection or a cyst.

 

 

Tests and procedures used to diagnose breast cancer include:

  • Mammogram
    A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breasts. It is used to find tumors and to help tell the difference between noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) disease
  • Breast Ultrasound
    Breast ultrasound is the use of ultrasonic sound waves (sounds that cannot be heard by humans) to produce an image of breast tissue.
  • Breast MRI Scan
    A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the breast is a noninvasive method to create detailed pictures of the breast and surrounding tissues. It may be done in combination with mammography or ultrasound.
  • Breast Biopsy
    A breast biopsy is the removal of breast tissue to examine it for signs of breast cancer or other disorders.
