A member asked:

Age 40, female, breast cancer.mri report b4 surgery states: please correlate clinically for any abnormality with right side port. what does this mean?

It means: Need additional evaluation , decision by your doctor , as result you already had biopsy . Now tell us the good new about your biopsy report . All diagnostic tests are great but ultimate final diagnosis is by biopsy only , which you had, good luck.

Not sure: If you had the port placed before the MRI they may be seeing post operative effects and using a "cover their ass" reading of a possible right sided lesion. If the cancer is in the left as i suspect this is probably nothing to worry about. Mention it to your surgeon though for peace of mind.
