2. Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells and it is the most common female cancer, the second most
common cause of cancer death in women (after lung cancer), and the main cause of death in women ages 45 to
55.Whenfoundandtreatedearly,breastcancerisoftencurable.

Abnormal lump — Breast cancer can be discovered when a lump or other change in the breast or armpit is found

a change in the size or shape of one breast, inversion (pulling in) of the nipple when it previously pointed outward,
oradiscolorationoftheskinofthebreast.
Mammogram — A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. The breast tissue is compressed for the x-ray, which
decreases the thickness of the tissue and holds the breast in position, so the radiologist can find abnormalities
moreaccurately.
Breast ultrasound — An ultrasound uses sound waves to look at breast tissue and can tell if a lump is a fluid filled
cystorasolidlump.
Breast MRI — Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnet to create a detailed image of a part of
thebody.BreastMRImayberecommendedtoaidinthediagnosisofbreastcancerinselectedsituations.
Breast biopsy — If breast cancer is suspected, the next step is to sample the abnormal area with a core needle
biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Core needle biopsies are performed with local anesthesia and do not require
sedation.
Screening refers to tests and exams used to find a disease, like cancer, in people who do not have any symptoms.
The goal of screening exams, such as mammograms, is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms.
Breast cancers that are found because they can be felt tend to be larger and are more likely to have already spread
beyondthebreast.
We feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save many thousands of lives each year, and that many more
lives could be saved. The early detection of breast cancer improves the chances that breast cancer can be
diagnosedatanearlystageandtreatedsuccessfully.
