A member asked:
Is a palpable lobular carcinoma better visible on ultrasound than a non-palpable lobular carcinoma? how many times a lobular carcinoma is not visible? thanks?

A few guidelines: The first step in detection of breast cancer is clinical examination for a palpable mass/tumor. If there is a palpable tumor, it must have a biopsy to determine its nature: benign vs cancerous. The standard screening test for early detection of breast cancer is annual bilateral Mammography starting at age 40. If there is any suspicious lesion or in case of dense breasts, ultrasound exam is usefu
