Screening and Detection
Screening tests are used to detect breast cancer before it causes any warning signs or symptoms. The major function of a screening test is to find cancer and also find in on time, when the chances of survival are highest. Frequent screening tests (along with follow-up tests and treatment if diagnosed) reduce your chance of dying from breast cancer. Breast Cancer Screening Tests Breast cancer screening tests include clinical breast exam and mammography. For some women at higher risk of breast cancer, breast MRI(Magnetic resonance imaging) may also be used.
IF YOU FEEL A LUMP
If you feel a lump in your breast, try not to panic or worry. Most lumps are not breast cancer, but something less serious, such as a benign (not cancer) breast condition. However, if you find a lump (or any change in your breast or underarm area), it’s best to see a doctor to be sure it’s not breast cancer.
