What should i do if you find a lump in your breast?

Prob benign, but...: What is the breast history in your family? Most masses in women are cysts or benign tumors (not cancer). You should have it evaluated by md and imaging. The only way to truly diagnose a mass is with a biopsy. If there is a strong history of breast cancer in your family (especially relatives who got it at an early age) you should be aggressive about the work up.

Please C UR Doctor: Any new lump in the breast should prompt physician evaluation. Based upon examination findings, your doctor may order tests such as an ultrasound+/-mammogram, and refer you to a breast specialist. If the lump is suspicious, a simple needle biopsy may be performed under local anesthesia in the office for definitive diagnosis. If the lump is deemed non-suspicious, short-term follow-up is advised.
