Please C Ur Doctor: Many breast lumps found on (self) examination are simply "lumpy-bumpy" breast tissue. If a dominant mass is present, it could be a cyst, a benign tumor, or a cancer. The best way to differentiate these is to see a breast surgeon and/or undergo evaluation at a breast center. Unfortunately, we do not have a blood test to diagnose breast cancer.

No: A blood test will not pick up breast cancer. You probably need a mammogram and possibly a biopsy.

No: There is not a good blood test for breast cancer. You should go back to your doctor and them examine your breast lump.
