A member asked:
Is it possible to have breast cancer if it doesn't show up on an ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ultrasound is only one means of evaluation of the breast. Physical examination and mammogram can be more accurate in some settings. Breast MRI is used sometimes. Breast biopsy of a concerning finding may be the only way to confirm that a breast condition is benign or not.
