  • How to check breast cancer

  • 21 December, 2023

Breast cancer is a condition where the cells in the breast tissue begin to divide uncontrollably. Detecting breast cancer in its early stages can greatly improve the chances of successful treatment. Regular screenings are a vital part of early detection, often identifying cancer before symptoms become noticeable.

1. Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the breast tissue. It's a safe imaging technique that does not involve radiation and is not harmful to body tissues. Ultrasounds can help identify abnormalities or masses in the breast.

2. Mammogram

A mammogram is an X-ray examination specifically designed for breast cancer screening. This procedure is typically performed before symptoms, such as a palpable lump, become apparent. Mammograms are effective at detecting early signs of breast cancer.

3. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

MRI uses radio waves and powerful magnets to create detailed images of the body, including the breast tissue. Like ultrasounds, MRI scans do not involve harmful radiation. MRIs are valuable for assessing the extent and characteristics of breast tumors.

4. Biopsy

When an abnormality is detected in the breast, a biopsy may be performed. During a biopsy, a sample of tissue is extracted from the affected area and sent for analysis. This allows medical professionals to determine whether the tissue is cancerous and, if so, what type of cancer it is.

 If you notice any unusual changes in your breast tissue, such as a lump, skin changes, or nipple discharge, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional promptly. Regular breast self-exams, clinical breast exams, and adherence to recommended screening guidelines can significantly contribute to the early detection of breast cancer, leading to more successful treatment outcomes.
