Question 3

33 years old clear mammo 4 months ago, recently found pea sized lump in breast and chest pain. can mammo be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Not wrong, not seen: Not every tissue type can be seen on mammography.  Up to 10% of cancers may not be seen on mammo and not seen on ultrasound.   In this 10%, it used to mean we went right to excisional biopsy.  Now, if indicated, you can do an MRI first.  Talk to your doctor.

Question 9

lump in breast advice?

Accepted Answer

On this forum...: We offer information, but not advice. That said, a woman in her late 20's with a breast lump can see her primary care doctor this week or next week. If needed, the doctor can refer to Radiology to do imaging studies of the breasts, or refer to other specialists in breast problems. Lumps in breasts have to be diagnosed, to make sure they are ok or not ok. We don't want women getting breast cancer.
