Ask for breast exam: Usually they do. Gynecologists , gyn.Oncologists are trained to diagnose breast diseases including breast cancer some even do breast surgery. Speak to your gyn. Oncologist after exam and tests will treat you or will refer you to breast surgeon if needed.

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

Usually not: Most gynecologic oncologist are not trained nor offer treatment for breast cancer in the United States. Some have received additional training but few. Better to go to a breast surgeon who is specifically trained to treat breast cancer, or a surgical oncologist. Medical oncology and radiation oncology may also be involved, especially if it is advanced.
