1. Self-examination: Every woman should perform breast self-examination regularly, usually after menstruation every month. While you are bathing or lying down, gently massage the breast tissue with your fingers, looking for any lumps, lumps, dips, or leaks. If you find any abnormalities, please consult a professional doctor in time.
2. Clinical breast examination: Regular clinical breast examination is also an important method to determine breast cancer. Your doctor will carefully feel the breast tissue and evaluate it for any abnormal symptoms.
3. Breast ultrasound: Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive breast cancer screening method that can detect abnormalities such as lumps, cysts, and hyperplasia in the breast. It can help determine the nature of the mass (benign or malignant) and guide further diagnosis and treatment.
4. Mammography: Mammography, also known as mammography or mammography, is an X-ray-based breast cancer screening method. It can show subtle calcifications, masses and tumors in the breast, helping doctors detect potential breast cancer early.
5. Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced breast cancer screening technology that uses magnetic fields and harmless radio waves to produce detailed images of the breasts. It can provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of breast cancer, especially for high-risk groups and patients with abnormal findings on mammography.
6. Breast biopsy: When breast cancer is suspected, doctors usually perform a breast biopsy to confirm the nature of the tumor. A biopsy can obtain a sample of breast tissue by puncture, resection, or aspiration, which is then examined by cytology or pathology.
The above are some common methods and techniques for breast cancer diagnosis. However, it should be emphasized that these methods and techniques are for reference only, and the final diagnosis and treatment plan need to be decided by the doctor based on the specific situation. If you suspect you have breast cancer, please consult a professional doctor immediately for further examination and diagnosis. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer can significantly improve cure and survival rates, so it is important to pay attention to breast health.
