What are the diagnostic methods for breast cancer

Many people's health quality deteriorates after suffering from breast cancer. Many people have a wrong understanding of breast cancer and think it is a gynecological disease. In fact, many men around us are also patronized by this disease. Today we will learn about the common methods of judging breast cancer.

First look: Take off your clothes, put your hands on your hips, face the mirror, and check whether the nipples are retracted and deviated, and whether the breast skin has dimples (early manifestation) or orange peel appearance (late manifestation).

Second touch: Sit or lie on your back, put your five fingers together and place the palm of your hand and the front half of your palm flat on the breast to touch (do not pinch the breast to prevent mistaking the breast lobule for a lump), check for lumps and tenderness in the breast, and whether the size, shape, texture, etc. of the lump are clear. If you have the following conditions, you should go to a regular hospital for examination immediately:

1. There is a painless lump in the breast with unclear boundaries, rough surface and poor mobility.

2. Painless enlargement of axillary lymph nodes.

Three squeezes: When not breastfeeding, close your hands, hold your breasts, and squeeze with the base of your palms to check if there is any fluid leaking from the nipple and the nature of the fluid. According to statistics, the incidence of breast cancer in patients with nipple discharge is 20% to 45%. Nipple discharge is the first symptom of intraductal carcinoma.

After the age of 40, have a breast examination every other year

The earlier the tumor is found, the more meaningful the treatment is: if the local disease is found in the early stage, the survival rate of living for five more years is as high as 98%, while the survival rate of people in the middle stage or with cancer cell metastasis is only 27%. In addition, breast cancer patients may have liver metastasis, so regular abdominal B-ultrasound examinations are also necessary to observe the condition of the liver.

As we have said above, everyone should already know the methods for judging breast cancer. These judgment methods are very effective, and everyone must choose scientifically. Only after scientific judgment can the existence of breast cancer be discovered in time to avoid unnecessary harm.
