A member asked:
Please tell me if it is easy to detect a cancerous breast lump?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Each patient is different and each cancer diagnosis has its own challenges. The only way to diagnose cancer of breast or any other cancer is to remove the suspicious tissue and have it examined by a pathologist.
