A member asked:

Found a lump in one of my breasts what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to see doctor: Any mass found in a woman's breast should be examined by her primary care doctor. If cancer is suspected, special studies can be done. Treatment is more successful if a cancer is found earlier, rather than later. If the mass is found not to be cancer, the doctor can offer advice and treatment too.
