Breast Evaluation

Breast Exam

We will physically check both of your breasts and lymph nodes, feeling for any lumps or other abnormalities.

Mammography

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and is considered the standard of care to screen for breast cancer. Mammograms are also used to diagnose and evaluate a new suspicious finding or follow a women with a personal history of breast cancer.

Breast ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of structures deep within the body. We may recommend an ultrasound to help determine whether a breast abnormality is likely to be a fluid-filled cyst or a solid mass, which may be either benign or cancerous.

Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast — or breast MRI — is a test used to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities in the breast.

Biopsy

A biopsy refers to the removal of a small sample of tissue or cells. The tissue is then reviewed under a microscope, by a pathologist, to determine the type of cells present and whether cancer cells are present.

Biopsy

Other Tests

Other tests and procedures may be used depending on your situation.
