How can breast cancer differ with a lump compared to microcalcifications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: A breast lump that you can feel is likely a more advanced breast cancer compared to micocalcifications. Micricalcificatons only has a 10-15% chance of having cancer & likely to represent a very small and very early cancer if malognant (or non-invasive, in situ).
