A member asked:
What tests are used to detect breast cancer? and should i be worried about the masses that were found?

Mammogram: Mammogram and ultrasound are the most common tests. There are many masses seen on these tests that are not cancerous. A biopsy is the definitive way to diagnosis a cancer. If a biopsy is recommended, please follow through with the recommendations. 80% of all biopsies performed have benign, noncancerous results.
