Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Health


Who is at risk?

The two most significant risk factors for breast cancer are being female and getting older. It is estimated that more than 1.8 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the 1990s. Early detection through breast self-examination, clinical breast exam and screening mammography could save the lives of these women.

What is my best defense?

Many exciting advances are being made in the field of breast cancer research. In the future, medical science may be able to prevent breast cancer. Until then, early detection is your best defense against the disease. Breast cancer deaths could be decreased by 30 percent if all women 50 years and older followed the mammography screening guidelines.

What is a Breast Self Exam (BSE)?

Since breast problems can develop between clinical breast exams or between mammograms, BSE can help you to detect any changes from the normal look or feel of your breasts. BSE is a technique performed at the same time each month, preferably just as your menstrual period is ending. begin BSE by age 20, and continue BSE monthly, throughout your life.

What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. A screening mammogram is for the woman who is not currently having any breast problems or breast symptoms. The radiologist looks for any abnormality that may indicate an early sign of breast cancer. Mammography has the ability to detect breast cancer two years before it reaches the size that can be felt in the breast.
A diagnostic mammogram is used to evaluate a woman with a breast problem/symptom or an abnormal finding on a screening mammogram. it should be performed under the direct, on-site supervision of a board certified radiologist.

What should I do if I have a breast problem?

If you notice any change in how your breasts normally look or feel, don't panic but do see your health care professional who will obtain a medical history, examine your breasts and suggest what further action needs to be taken.
Further action may include re-examination, a diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound, cyst aspiration, and/or referral to a surgeon. Ultrasound (sonogram) is used to differentiate between a solid or fluid filled lump (cyst). Cyst aspiration uses a small needle to withdraw the fluid from the lump.
If you still have questions or concerns after seeing your health care professional, you may want to get a second opinion.
