Early detection plays a crucial role in the effective treatment and prevention of various breast diseases, including breast cancer. Understanding your risk factors is vital for achieving the best possible outcomes. We utilize advanced tools and techniques to accurately identify breast conditions, enabling us to create and implement personalized care plans for sustained health.
Diagnostic and Screening Tests
The diagnostic and screening processes for benign and malignant breast diseases are largely similar. During your visit, your healthcare provider will conduct a physical examination and gather your personal and family medical history to recommend appropriate tests and screenings.
Common diagnostic tests include:
- Breast Exam: This manual examination assesses the appearance and texture of the breast, including an evaluation of the lymph nodes in the armpits for any abnormalities.
- Mammogram: A mammogram is a specialized X-ray of the breast, serving as a vital tool for monitoring any changes.
- Breast Ultrasound: This imaging technique uses sound waves to create real-time images of the breast.
- Breast Biopsy: This procedure involves taking a tissue sample from the breast to analyze for any abnormalities.
Breast Cancer Staging
If breast cancer is diagnosed, determining its stage is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan. Your breast cancer care team will suggest specific tests to ascertain the cancer stage, which may include:
- Blood tests
- Follow-up mammogram
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
